[Advertisement. ] In preparing their “‘ Fuower Seep Lisr’” for the present season, J. M. THORBURN & CO. have made additions to it of all New Seeds that have been recently introduced in Europe, which have proved of sufficient value to de- serve the attention of the Floricultural World. J. M. T. & CO. beg to recommend these newer varieties and the old estab- lished favorites (which are distinguished in the body of the Catalogue by being printed in Heavy Faced Type) to the notice of their friends, as being, all of them, most desirable acquisitions to the parterre. For whilst they would be far from rejecting one beautiful family of flowers, merely on account of its being old, at the same time it 1s both pleasing ard instructive, by the introduction into the country of new sorts, to keep up our floricultural taste in accordance with the advancement of Horticultural Science. | F = | x Scientific names in Roman. | Sa |S, ms 1g Fao} 8 ww VY ro) oO al Common names in Italics. s 5 oF lps 5 Spe ic New and choice sorts in Heavy Faced Type. = Z = Se oo oe G i-x 3 | AR Crs: Abelmoschus moschatus |Musk Okra gs y. 3 | 25 Abronia umbellata* Umbellated Abronia hhA | ro. jtrai.| 10 Acacia armata Armed Acacia gs | os 10 lophantha Crest-flowered _— do. x 6 | 10 marginata Marginate-leaved do. eu AS ee 8 | 25 speciosa Showy do. aaa 10 | 25 vestita Clothed do. ie leah 6 | 10 in vars.

A)most every one can find leisure to put a few seeds into the ground and afterwards to watch the young plant pushing through the earth; to observe the bright green stem waxing into strength and throwing out its tender foliage ; tosee the delicate and wonderful bud forming and swelling, which is to be the reward of all your assiduity. Any one who has done this for a season, will find the pursuit to possess a species of fascination, which will yield the purest enjoyment. When farther initiated, and become familiar with the beautiful mysteries, it is delightful to steal into the garden, day after day, and trace the gradually expanding bud developing the unknown glory of a newvariety. But the whole process of flower cultivation is so innocent, so congenial to health, and leads the mind so naturally to devout contemplation, that we conceive it is unneces- sary to urge anything farther in its favor. ; Previous to forming a flower garden} the ground should be properly prepared, by being well broken and slightly manured. In the country it should be pro- tected from cold winds by close fences, or plantations of shrubs. Generally speaking a flower garden should not be upon a latge scale. In small gardens, where there is not space for picturesque delineations, neatness should be the prevailing characteristic. A variety of forms may be indulged in, provided the figures are graceful and neat, and not complicated. An oval is a form that generally pleases, on account of the continuity of its outlines ; next, if extensive, a circle; but hearts, diamonds, or triangles, seldom please. A simple parallel- ogram, divided into beds running lengthwise, or the large segment of an oval, with beds running parallel to its outer margin, will always please. It is necessary to have suitable implements ready, so that the work may be performed well, and at the proper season; such as a spade, rake, hoe, trowel, line, and pruning knife. Labels may be made readily of shingles, by splitting them in stripsof about an inch wide and five or six inches long, and sharpening them at one end. Paint them with white lead made thin, and mark them with a black lead pencil.before the paint gets dry; inscriptions written in this way, will be distinguishable as long as the label lasts. In preparing the accompanying Catalogue every care has been taken to make it as comprehensive as possible, without introducing names, for the mere purpose of extending it; while it is believed nothing desirable, that is suitable for culti- vation in our climate has been omitted. Attention has also been paid to the correct classification of the duration and hardiness in the third column, which Ow NNN T8848 144444 4444448 R THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS, i will enable the cultivator the better to profit by the following brief rules for the sowing and subsequent care of the different sorts. ‘The description of the height and color in the fourth and fifth columns will also be found accurate and "| comprehensive as the limited space of a Catalogue admits of. All kinds of Hardy Annual Flower Seeds, (h. A. in the third column,) may be sown in the months of May undue ; ; the beds should be levelled and the | seeds sown either in small patches, Ech kind by itself, orin drills from an eighth to a half an inch deep. In about a month, more or less, many of them will be fit to transplant. Take advantage of cloudy and rainy weather; move the plants carefully with a trowel, the smaller kinds set in front, the wes in the rear; but if the weather be dry and the sky cloudless, give a little water, and cover them for a few days. Hardy Annuals will succeed well in a border of natural earth, if sown = first week in May, but they will flower a month earlier, if assisted by glass. some of the hardy Annuals be sown in September, they will become strong enough to survive the winter, if protected with a slight covering of straw or litter; and i when transplanted in spring will flower earlier and stronger. The best method to obtain an early bloom of the Tender Annuals (t. A.) and to ensure strength to the plants, is to sow the seed in pots early in March, placing them in a warm green-house window, or plunging them into a moderate hot-bed, carefully protecting them from the cold, shading them from the mid-day 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. Assoon as the seed leaf is fully developed, transplant into small pots, three or four in each, and when they have acquired sufficient strength, transplant into the flower beds, not, however, before the middle of May. The Half Hardy Annuals (h.h.A.) may be sown and transplanted as above, but must be kept rather cooler. The finer varieties of German Aster should - sown in pots towards the end of April, pricled off into smaller pots in June, ‘and ie afterwards transplanted into the flower borders, Biennials and Perennials may be sown at the same time with the Annuals of the same degree of hardiness, and treated similarly, except such of the Hardy kinds as do not blossom the first year; these last may be thinned out or removed from the seed beds as soon as they are well rooted, and planted, either into different parts of the garden or into a nursery bed, in rows, a foot or more apart, keep them clear of weeds by hoeing and stirring the earth occasionally, which will greatly promote their growth, and prepare them for transplanting into the permanent beds, either in the autumn or following spring. Biennials are raised principally from seed sown every year. Some Perennials and Biennials may be sown in September, or as soon asripe; and if the plants get strong before the setting in of winter, most of them will flower the next summer. In trans- planting, take care to preserve some earth to their roots, and tie the tall-growing } kinds to neat poles or rods. Remove decayed plants, and replace them with vigorous ones from the nursery bed. Keep all the beds free from weeds, and the walks clean and neat. ih pau oa nam dali.

The smaller Seeds of Green House Plants are sometimes difficult to germi- nate, unless great care is taken in the mode of sowing. Thence the supposition is produced that the seed itself is not good; whereas the fault is not in the seed, but in the treatment. Fine seeds of t escription should be shown 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 afterwards sink materially with watering, and thereby carry down the seed with it to a greater depth than that at which itis sown. Sowthe seed § very thin, and cover, very slightly, with a little 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 trans- planted into similar compost in another pot. Todo this, do not pull them up out of the seed-pan, but /ift them with the point of a knife passed under their roots. By that means the young minute roots are taken up without breaking. ; After transplanting they should be kept in a shady part of the Green House for a few days, until they are established in the new soil. | i A tl i An in A i ie There are many minute plants, from the finer seeds, killed by drenching them with water whilst very young. One way to avcid this, is to give the wa- ter by dipping a clothes’ brush in water, (shake off the greatest part of the water from the brush,) and then holding the brush over the seed-pan, draw the hand over the bristles several times, which will cause the water to be thrown on the young 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. Seeds of Climbing and Twining Plants are frequently left too long without support; the consequence of which is that the plants remain weak, and never afterwards become strong and healthy. Sweet Peas, Convolvulus, and all simi- lar Seeds, should have their supports given them as soon as they are two inches high, in order that they may not become stinted in their early growth. Tohave a fine bloom this is of considerable importance. 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. The following and some others being apt to droop and die if transplanted; should be sown in the borders in the spot where they intend to bloom, viz: wee Argemone, LInupins of sorts, Candytuft, Malope, Catchfly, Animated Oats, Dwarf Convolvulus, Poppies of sorts, Evening Primrose, Sweet Basil, Adonis Floxer, Venus Looking Glass, Gypsophila, GOL SEs, but with these exceptions, most other varieties flower earlier and more strongly by being sown in frames or pots and transplanted; this applies particularly to the finer sorts of Paris Balsams, German Zinniasand Asters. Where, however, it is inconvenient to adopt this latter mode the following is recommended : Take a dollar package of twenty-five varicties, and number the bags from one to twenty-five ; then sow a circle from each bag in the order in which they I tn th tn ine hi i inital OW ers e id THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS, . 27 "a SO BRST TAVVODW are numbered, and insert a short stick in the centre of each circle as a mark. By this method the twenty-five varieties are distributed along the borders in succession, and as each bag will be sufficient for three circles, sixty circles, or three assortments of twenty-five varieties, may be sown in three different aspects of the garden, which will iy give the various flowers the best pos- sible chance with regard to exp ut show the varieties to the greatest possible advantage. By preservin gs, the mere novice by referring to the name and number on each, will become ainted with the different varieties, from the order in which t stand in hisgarden. This system may be prac- tised to advantage either on a large or small scale, and the young plants~be allowed to mature and blossolfftin groups or bunches as they stand, or may be transplanted whollypor in part as the taste of the cultivator may aerect, or the less well filled neighboring border requires. * - Some species of Dwarf Annuals, such as Sweet Alyssum, Candytuft, Clarkia Pulchella, Mignonetté, Pimpernel, and such others as grow not over a foot in height, may be cultit small beds, either separate or two or three kinds mixed together. Clarkia Pulchella suits very well with Mignonette, as it will thrive in moderately poor soil, which is the best adapted for that plant wh fragrance is an object. The best way to manage the mixed species, is to level a narrow border of rather poor soil, and sowit all over with Afignonette, then with Clarkia Pulchella; when the plants are up, both kinds should be thinned out equally, so as to leave the plants from one to two inches apart all over the bed; these when they come into blossom, will form a rich mass, and havea very pretty effect, the bushiness of the Mignonette hiding the naked stalks of the Clarkia. The White Alyssum and Purple Candytuft form a pleasing contrast when mixed in equal proportions, and also the Dwarf Gillia and Blue Pimpernel. ” Phlox Drummondii is, perhaps, the most desirable of all annuals to flower alone in the beds, than which nothing can be more beautiful. ‘ Every flower, though of the deepest carmine, has its petals of a pale blush color on the under side, and every petal, though of the palest pink, has a dark carmine spot at its base. Thus the variety of colors displayed in a bed of these flowers, almost exceeds description ; and when they are seen under a bright sun, and agitated by a gentle breeze, the effect is extraordinarily brilliant.” Next to this, the Portulacas will be found, perhaps, most acceptable for individual beds or borders, either the purple and scarlet separate, or combined with the newer while and yellow varieties. Rocket Larkspurs too, sown in rows, answer admirably the same purpose ; but to have them in perfection, the seed should be sown in the border in September, and the young plants protected through the winter by a slight covering of straw or litter. RAAMRARAAAAARAARAARAARARARAAABRA RRRARRRARANNAAARARRAAAAATRAAAAAR NANA Cypress Vine, a universal favorite, frequently fails from being sown too early. In this vicinity it should not be trusted in the open ground much before the first of June, and the seed should be soaked for about half an hour in moderately warm water just before being sown. The seed should be planted about a quarter of an inch deep, and the soil well pressed down, moderately watered, and protected from the sun by a strip of board 4 or 5 inches wide; let the board remain pressing on the soil for about 48 hours, and on being removed the young plants will at once show themselves, and grow strongly.
