PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS FOR THE Culture and Treatment of Flower Seeds. HARDY ANNUALS (hA,)—These seeds should be sown in April and May. The second sowing to succeed the first, should be a month or six weeks after it. They may also be sown in pots the beginning of April, if they can have the protection of a cucumber-frame or green-house. The soil for pots, in which to sow them, should be light and rich ; and when sown in the garden, the earth should be made fine,—and if light compost, such as mixture of garden-soil and old manure in equal parts, it will advance the growth and strength of the plants if a spadeful is placed where each patch of seedis to be sown. The most effective way is, to sow the seeds in patches where they are intended to bloom. All small seeds should only be covered with soil an eighth of an inch deep ;—but large seeds, such as Sweet Peas, should be planted at a depth of an inch or so. Care must be taken to give support to such Annuals as require it, whether climbers or not, as soon as they are three or four inches high,—otherwise they will trail on the ground and not grow strong. The earth around each patch of Flowers must be kept loose and open by the hoe, and free from weeds. In dry weather. some may require water; but none need be given at the time of*sowing, unless the soil is very dry. Where there is the convenience of cardpneframes with glass lights, Hardy Annuals and also Biennials, may be sown in September, in small patches, six inches apart in the soil,—to be removed by taking each patch up in the following May (being careful to remove them with a good ball of earth, and immediately giving water) when they can be placed in the borders. In this case the frames should not be covered, after sowing with glass, until the Fall rains or Frost render it necessary,—and in all mild weather during Winter, air should be given, by elevating the light in the middle of the day whenever the temperature is above the freezing point. HARDY BIENNIALS & PERENNTALS.—tThese require the same treatment as the Hardy Annuals. In addition to the above, both Hardy Biennials and Perennials may be sown in the open border in September. In this case, it is a good plan at the commencement of frost to cover them slightly with straw or any dry litter, in order to afford some protection from the extreme severity of the Winters. As soon as the weather breaks in the Spring, the covering must be carefully removed and the surface around them loosened. | | | HALF HARDY ANNODALS (hhha.)—These are best sown in pots or in a frame, or in the open soil, as directed for Hardy Annuals when sown in September. They may be sown thus at any time after the middle of April, as the frame will be a sufficient protection,—but it is best to cover the glass with a mat or straw at night, until danger of night-frost is past. In the day give all the air possible, by partially or wholly removing the lights. After the end of May, these may be sown in the open border like Hardy Annuals. Half Hardy Biennial and Perennials require the same treatment. TENDER ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. The best method to obtain any early bloom of the Tender Annuals (tA,) and to insure strength to the plants, is to sow the seeds in pots early in March, placing them in a warm green-house or window, or plunging them into a moderate hot-bed, carefully protecting them from the cold, shading them from the midday sun, and watering them with a finely pierced watering-can. The seed should be sown in very light, sandy compost, and the pots well drained by placing broken earthenware and rough sods in the bottom. The finer seeds must not be planted more than an eighth of an inch deep, and the soil must be pressed down closely over them. Water frequently—particularly if the house or frame is very warm. As soon as the seed-leaf is fully developed, trans- plant into small pots, three or four in each,—and when they have acquired sufficient strength, transplant into flower-beds—not, however, before the middle of May. GREEN-HOUSE SEEDS (g.)—Should be sown as directed for Tender Annuals, in pots, pits or boxes—be keptin the house carefully watched, slightly watered occasionally, and sheltered from the hot sun till strong enough to transplant. Most of these varieties may be sown at any season of the year. The smaller seeds of the Green House-Plants are sometimes difficult to germinate, unless great care is taken in the mode of sowing. Thence the supposition is pro- duced that the seed itself is not good,—whereas the fault is not in the seed, but in the treatment. Fine seeds of this description should be sown in leaf-mould or peat- earth, with some silver sand added to it, which should be pressed firmly down in the seed-pan or pot, and made perfectly level at the top, so that the mould may not after- wards sink materially with watering, and thereby carry down the seed with it toa greater depth than that at which it issown. Sow the seed very thin, and cover very slightly with a iittle of the compost, or with some of the silver sand. By this method the difficulty of succeeding with fine seeds will be removed. As soon as the young plants have two leaves, they should be transplanted into similar compost in another pot. To do this, do not pull them out of the seed-pan, but lift them with the point ofa knife under their roots. By that means, the young minute roots are taken up without breaking. After transplanting, they should be keptin a shady part of the green- house for a few days, until they are established in the new soil. There are many minute plants, from the finer seeds, killed by drenching them with water whilst very young. One way to avoid this is, to give the water by dipping a clothes brush in water, shaking off the greatest part of the water from the brush, and then (helding the brush over the seed-pan) drawing the hand over the bristles several times, which will cause the water to be thrown on the younger plants almost like dew. Whilst in the first stage of their existence, plants require moisture in a minute quantity, often repeated, and not in such large quantities as to saturate the soil in which they are growing. To avoid failure, Flower Seeds should not be sown in the open borders too early; never in this vicinity before May. More disappointment results from too early sowing than from any other cause. Explanations of the Catalogue. a Tne figures in the first column give the comparative time of Flowering. As it is impossible, in our varied extent of climate, to state the exact month any plant may flower in, we have adopted the simple plan of classing the different varieties into EARLY, INTERMEDIATE and LATE flowering sorts. Thus: No. 1 designates early. No. 2 $$ intermediate. No. 3 q late flowering plants. The second and third columns gives the Botanical name, in Roman characters ; and for ready reference, also the common name, in I' ics. * designates ornamental leaved Plants. ete in all cases, repetztion. in vars.. in varieties, or mixed colors. fl. pl. .. lore pleno, or double flowering. The fourth column gives the Hardiness and Duration : A representing Annual, lasting but one year. B oie Biennial, .. two years. lid se Perennial, .. three or more years. EB aif Evergreen. But as a large number of the Biennials and Perennials, if sown early, flower the first season, this distinguishing mark f is affixed to such. h. represents hardy—plants for open borders. hiy-2s half hardy—plants that require to be forwarded in plots or t. ws tender—requiring protection.

In this latitude, Asters should be sown from the middle of March to the first part of May, on a spent bot-bed, or in pots, within a close pit or frame, or in the house—and when an inch high they should be transplanted in fine soil, which should be spread over a discarded hot-bed, from whence they can be bedded out when about three or four inches high. This should be done, during, or immediately after, showery weather. Asters do finely sown in the open ground, middleof May. The only objection to this mode is, their lale and short duration of flowering. f= In ordering these Collections, please give the Numbers of Particular Assort- ments desired.
