As we occasionally hear complaints that seeds do not vegetate, and as seedsmen in gen- eral are often accused of sending out worthless seed, we would, in justice to ourselves and others, beg of our patrons to give the following remarks a careful consideration. That seeds oftentimes refuse to grow, is an established fact; but it is equally certain that that fact alone is no positive proof that the seeds are worthless. Probably ninety per cent. of all the flower seeds sold in this country go into the hands of persons who have no idea how seeds should be grown. Many of them, perhaps, accustomed to putting into the ground peas, beans, radishes, &c., fancy themselves acquainted with sowing seeds in gen- eral; and when they fail, the blame is laid, not upon their ignorance, but upon the seeds- men. Is it to be wondered at, then, that there are occasional complaints that seeds do not grow? An example or two, about which there can be no mistake, will explain our meaning. A few years since some seeds sent from India toa great garden near London, where any amount of skill ought to have been found, were, in part, sown, and reported on as ‘‘ bad,— will not grow.”? Two years afterwards, what remained of the original seed, although so much older, was sown, and it grew freely. Why was this? The explanation is simple, — the gardener had been changed. We have many times planted seeds which refused.to grow, and, after waiting a sufficient time, have then planted more out of the same parcel, which vegetated readily. This is not an uncommon occurrence among gardeners. And why is this? We would answer that the fault may have been in planting, or in the weather, or in some cause unknown; but one thing we do know, —the fault was not in the seed. Complaints that seed are not good are perennial, and we quite believe that in nineteen cases out of twenty they arise from injudicious treatment. We think a little consideration would convince any one that, if we know our own interest, we should not be likely to send out poor seed, for the sake of saving a few shillings, at the risk of sacrificing the trade we are striving toextend. Nothing, indeed, is more barbarous than the way in which seeds are sometimes treated. Some are overwhelmed with earth; others are scattered on the surface; some are allowed to lie in a puddle; some are planted where no rain can reach them; slugs are allowed to devour them; domestic fowls and other birds are permitted to feast on them. Another reason why seeds sometimes fail to give satisfaction is, that people are too much in a hurry to get their seeds into the ground; and probably more disappoint- ment arises from too early sowing than from all other causes put together. And then, again, many will allow the weeds to grow with the seeds until the former cannot be removed without destroying the latter; and we have known more than one case where the plants have been pulled up with the weeds, —the person not being able to distinguish be- tween them. In all these cases the seeds are found to be in fault, and the blame is most anreasonably thrown upon the seedsman. We would suggest to our friends who fail to grow their seeds, that it may be as well to inquire whether any of these ingenious methods of destroying vegetable life have been practised in their own cases. : REMARKS ON THE CULTIVATION OF ANNUALS, BIENNIALS, AND PERENNIALS. ANNUALS, , Plants known as annuals are raised from the seed, perfect their flowers, mature their seed the same season, and then perish; they are divided as follows: Hardy, half hardy, and tender. Hardy annuals are such as will bear a hard frost; half hardy annuals will bear but little; tender annuals will not bear the frost at all. BIENNIALS Are those plants that flower the second, and sometimes the third year from the time the seeds are sown, and then perish. 4 REMARKS ON THE CULTIVATION OF PERENNIALS Are those plants which do not in their growth form either trees or shrubs, but lose their tops, wholly orin part, every year after they have done flowering; the roots continue to live and generate for several years successively. Biennials and perennials are hardy, half hardy, and tender. Hardy biennials and per- ennials stand the hardest winter without protection; half hardy require to be well pro- tected; and tender biennials and perennials must be kept where frost will not touch them. TIME OF SOWING SEED IN THE OPEN GROUND. With regard to the proper time for sowing seed in the open ground, much depends on the character of the season; the general rule recommended has been to sow hardy annuals from the middle of April to the first of May,—half hardy, first of May,—and tender annuals, last of May and first of June. But, from our own experience, we are convinced that more disappointment results from too early sowing than from any other cause. The general rule that we would recommend is not to sow even hardy annuals before the middle of May. We would much rather, as a general thing, defer sowing them until the first part of June than to sow them as early asthe middle of April. The half hardy and tender annuals we would sow from the latter part of May to the tenth of June, or even some days later, if necessary. Biennials and perennials may be sown at any time from the middle of April to the first of July; but, in order to get good strong flowering plants for the follow- ing season, we would advise to sow them as early as the tenth of June. MODE OF SOWING. Seeds may be sown in patches among the border plants, in rows, or groups, where they are to remain, or in a nursery bed, and afterwards transplanted. Asa general rule, the sur- face soil should be rather dry than otherwise at the moment of sowing, and the operation never should be undertaken when the ground is very wet, especially at an early period of the spring. Whenever it may be desirable, for some special reason, to sow when the ground is too damp, the surface should be scraped off to the depth of an inch or two, and its place supplied by a handful of dry soil, on which the seeds may be sown. In the case of seeds of a moderate size, the surface soil may be scraped aside with the edge of a trowel to the depth of a quarter of an inch, and around the circumference of the slight hollow thus made, the seeds may be thinly strewn, the soil being then returned and genély pressed flat with the hand or trowel. If the soil should be of an adhesive nature, the pressure should be very slight, or the surface will cake; it will be better in this case to cover the seeds with a little sandy loam, or other friable soil, instead of that where the sowing is made. It is particularly requisite that seeds should not be sown too deep, from whence arise many of the failures of inexperienced gardeners. The depth at which the seeds are sown will vary with their size; large seeds, such as those of the Lupinus, Sweet Pea, or Marvel of Peru, may be three quarters of an inch deep; other varieties from an eighth toa half inch deep, according to the size or nature of the seed. Some that are very small require to be sown on the actual surface, a slight pressure being then sufficient to imbed them to a proper depth. For the majority of the seeds a very thin covering suffices; if sown too deep they are longer in germinating, and the small ones are liable to decay. It sometimes insures a more even distribution of very small seeds, such as those of Campanula, Digitalis, ete., if they are intimately mixed before sowing with a little fine, dry soil, the mixture being sown in the same way as the seeds. Woolly seeds, which adhere to each other, like the Globe Amaranthus, etc., should be rubbed with a little fine sand, which will generally separate them. Inall cases the more thinly the seeds are strown, the better; when too thickly sown, the seedlings become elongated and sickly, an evil which no subsequent thinning out will entirely remedy. If the soil be dry, and the weather sungy, it will be necessary to water the seeds slichti<@ from a very fine rose watering-pot. Rain water is preferable. In the absence of rain this application must be repeated every day or two, for it is important to observe that, when once the seeds begin to swell, they are peculiarly susceptible to injury from drought, and will speedily perish, unless the soil be maintained ina moist condition; to neglect of this important precaution many failures are solely attributable. On the other hand, an excess of moisture previous to germination will often cause the seed to decay, especially in cold seasons; early in the spring, therefore, the water-pot must be used with judgment, and never late in the day when frosts threaten. ANNUALS, BIENNIALS, AND PERENNIALS. 4) DIRECTIONS FOR SOWING CALCEOLARIAS AND OTHER SEEDS OF GREENHOUSE PLANTS OF DELICATE HABITS, The cultivation of the Calceolaria from the seed requires a little extra care in the early stage of its culture. To insure success in the raising of seedings, it is requisite to attend to the following directions as nearly as possible. The seed should be sown in pots, prepared in the following manner: ‘the pot to be half filled with drainage, over that rough siftings of the mould, and the surface covered with soil as fine as possible, half of which should be composed of silver sand. When prepared thus it should be watered with a five rose, immediately after which sow the seed carefully without any covering of soil. The pots should then be placed under a close frame or hand-glass, in a shady part of the garden (no artificial heat being required). In large establishments, of course, they may have prop- agating or other houses that will do, where the same kind of moist temperature could be obtained, but any exposure to the sun must be carefully guarded against by mats or paper. If the situation is of the proper temperature, they will require watering but very seldom. Directly the seedings are strong enough, they must be pricked off in pots prepared as before, and placed in the same situation: from the store pots they will require to be potted off singly; after this they will grow very rapidly. Through the winter the plants will thrive well on the shelves near the glass, in the greenhouses; and, to obtain fine specimens, they must be shifted on freely till the flower-stalks have started, and should always be smoked with tobacco directly the green-fly appears, as no plants in cultivation so readily suffer from this insect as the Calceolaria. It is necessary to remark, that one of the most frequent causes of the appearance of these injurious insects is the plant becoming root-bound; to avoid which evil, it is important that it should frequently be repotted during the growing season. *,* These remarks will apply also to the cultivation of the Cineraria, except that this plant is more hardy. and will thrive with less care. There are also many flowers that have very small and fine seeds, and require more care in sowing; in most cases these need no covering of soil, but, after the seed is sown, some fine selected moss damped and placed on them, will be found highly beneficial; the moss can be removed as the vegetation proceeds. Indeed, the treatment given for rearing Cal- ceolaria seed will answer in numerous instances for fine seeds. NEW LARGE FLOWERED FLAX, OR, LINUM GRANDIFLORUM RUBRUM. A difficulty has frequently been experienced in raising plants from seed of this most beautiful and first-class bedding annual, though 99 seeds out of 100 may be insured by placing the seed in lukewarm or tepid water for twenty-four hours, after which they should be rubbed dry with linen, so as to clear off the glutinous or gummy solution with which the seed is covered; when this simp!e.operation is concluded, they may be sown at once in the open ground, the same as any common hardy annual; if sowing in frames should be preferred, they should be pricked off into the flower-bed when very young, the same as Rhodanthe Manglesi and others of that class. There are also other seeds which, either from their not germinating at all, or very few in proportion to the quantity sown, are generally supposed to be bad, — this is often the result of some peculiarity in the formation of the seed or its sheath, and not defect or want of germinating power. Take, for instance, Martynia fragrans, or the beautiful little rambler, Abromia umbellata, which isseen to such advantage when trained on a low sunny wall, and they will be found to germinate freely if, before sowing, the tough skin that incloses the seed is carefully peeled off with a knife. Many seeds of greenhouse plants and importations from abroad that are of a very hard Phature should be placed ina vessel of water, and kept in a higher temperature from twenty- four to forty-eight hours before being sown. A few may even be immersed in boiling water for a short time, but these are only exceptional cases. A FEW HINTS ON THE CHARACTER AND CULTIVATION OF THE IMPROVED FRENCH AND GERMAN ASTERS. A whole series of varieties have arisen out of this now most popular plant, by the continued industry and attention given to its cultivation, and each hasits peculiarities. We will here mention them in turn, as they have been produced. The progenitor was the single China Aster, which still exists, but sparsely cultivated. 6 HINTS ON THE CHARACTER AND CULTIVATION OF isT.— GERMAN GLOBE QUILLED ASTERS. The flowers of this variety are very numerous, large, and full, and of many brilliant col- ors; habit of plant much branching, and ornamental; height from one and a half to two feet. 2D.— TURKISH ASTER. . This much resembles the German Globe Quilled Aster, but grows only toa height ef from one to one and a half feet, has many branches, and the flowers are smaller than the preceding. y 3D.—DWARF ASTER. The individual blossoms of the blossom-tube are partly tubelike and partly leaflike; it reaches a height of from one half to one foot, and is covered with moderate-sized flowers, in variety of colors. 4TH.— FRENCH QUILLED PYRAMIDAL ASTER. The flowers are produced in full, close compact, hemispherical clusters of quilled, tube- like florets, which appear on the plant nearly all of one height, and in a great variety of colors. Most probably received its name because it resembles an inverted pyramid; not surpassed by any other variety for habit of growth and brilliancy of colors. 5STH.— BOUQUET ASTER. It is said by the German florists that when this Aster is well-grown each individual plant is so voluptuously covered with bloom that the green of the foliage is scarcely visi- ble; almost every plant forms itself into a perfect bouquet; hence its name. We have frequently grown this Aster in our garden, but for some indefinable reason of climate or air, it has always failed to give out its reputed beauty; height from three-quarters to one and a quarter feet, and of about a dozen shades and colors. 6TH. — TRUFFAUT’S FRENCH PYRAMIDAL ASTERS. These Asters testify the great care and perseverance the grower has taken in rearing them; there are now five varieties of it, and each has its bevy of distinct colors. First, the Peony- flowered Asters turn their petals towards the centre, and a flower not quite in full bloom rerembles a ball; height from one and a half to two and ahailf feet; produces but few side flowers. Second, Perfection Asters: the blossoms of this kind are large; petals very long and but slightly reflexed; height from two to two and a half feet. Third, Chrysanthemum- flowered Aster: the flowers of this variety are not aslarge as the preceding; the petals are entirely reflexed; produces many side flowers. Fourth, Bombee: the flowers of this variety are very large and full, and form almost a semi-ball; height from two totwo and a half feet. Fifth, Imbricated and Pompone Imbricated (Ranunculus-flowered): the petals of these flowers form themselves like tiles, one on the top of the other, to the centre of the flower; the Pompone produces smaller blooms; neither of them producing but little effect in the garden. 7TH.— THE CROWN OR TWO-COLORED ASTERS. A new section, which has advanced to four varieties; the one first introduced had full, double flowers, with beautiful white quilled sepals in the centre, surrounded with smooth, large crimson petals, and these again resting upon a circular fringe or band of green leaf- bracts, forming a unique appearance; it now comprises purple, lavender, and rose, with white centre, all possessing that splendid habit that distinguishes Truffaut’s French Pyra- midal Asters from all others. 8TH.— GIANT EMPEROR ASTER. This variety has sprung from the Pyramidal Aster, and for size and form is unsurpassed ; it bears only a few flowers, on a robust, strong stem, from which the side sprouts grow >» the form of a candelabrum; in favorable cases it produces from three to five flowers, o which the chief blossom is four inches in diameter; in spite of their size, all its flowers are of an equal height, forming a flat, table-like cluster; height about two feet. All the varieties of these most beautiful annuals are well adapted for cultivation in pots in the conservatory or the parlor, and in the borders in the open air, and bloom in almost any situation; but if perfection of bloom is desired, great care and attention are of course requisite. SOIL AND SITUATION. The Aster delights in rich, deep loam, well enriched with old, well-rotted manure; and if a good portion of leaf-mould could be added so much the better. Thesituation should be THE IMPROVED FRENCH AND GERMAN ASTERS. 7 sunny; in the shade they do not thrive, becoming drawn, and Jacking that rich, vivid color which is one of the chief beauties of the flower. If practical, a sheltered place should also be selected, as the violent rains and winds are apt to dash the plant to the earth, especially when heavy with full-blown flowers. Staking is not absolutely necessary, but very useful, especially with the taller kinds. TIME OF SOWING. For early blooming plants the seed may be sown inacold frame (that is, a simple hot- bed frame without artificial bottom heat), about the 10th of April, taking care to cover with mats at night when there is danger of hard frost; for later flowering plants, sow from first to middle of May, although seed sown as late as the 10th of June will succeed very well. SOWING. Seed may be sown in the open ground according to the general direction given (see page 4); but as the choicest varieties of Aster seeds are saved from the most perfect flowers, and asthe more perfect the flowers, the less vitality there is in the seed, we would advise the sowing of such in pots or boxes. First, be careful to drain well, by seeing that there are holes in the bottom of the box or pot sufficient to let the surplus water run off freely ; then fill in about two inches of broken bricks, charcoal, oyster shells, or stones; then fill even full with light, rich soil, and lightly press the surface, so that the level of the soil may bean inch below the rim of the box or pot; then give athorough watering with arose from a watering-pot, 80 that the soil will be well saturated through; when this is done sow the seed and press them lightly upon the earth, and cover very slightly with a sprinkling of fine soil froma sieve. When the sowing is thus finished, cover the pots or boxes with panes of glass, which has been whitened by a litile chalk or whiting, mixed with water. This glass, which should completely cover the pot, serves the purpose of breaking the force of the sun, and of preventing the evaporation of the moisture which is necessary for the germination of the seed. Then place themin a warm sunny window, or, what is preferable, if you havea frame at hand, put thém into that, taking careto give a little air when the sunshines by shoving the sash off, or raising the back end a very little. Seed treated in this way will seldom fail to make their appearance in from six to ten days, during which time they will want to be watered but very little, if any. When the young plants appear, give air gently by raising the pane of glass which covers the pot, and when the plants have got well estab- lished with a good pair of leaves, the glass on the pots can be dispensed with. If in frames, give air, in pleasant weather, and keep them covered nights and when the sun is clouded, until they have three or four leaves, when the glass should be taken entirely off, except in very cold nights or storms. TRANSPLANTING. Asters should, in all cases, be thinned out, or transplanted so that they will be at least eight inches, and the larger kinds twelve inches apart each way.- When the plants have become sufficiently strong, with three or four pair of leaves, and there is no danger of frost, they should be transplanted. They may be planted in clumps of four or five plants of dif- ferent colors, or en masse, or planted single. The operation of transplanting is very simple, and can be done with but little risk of losing any ofthe plants. AJl the tool required for the work is a trowel or dibble.* First, insert the trowel or dibble into the ground so as to make a hole sufficient to receive the whole length ofthe roots, without bending them; then place the roots in the hole, holding on to the top of the plant with one hand, and with the other in- Sert the trowel or dibble again in the ground, about one inch from the first hole, and with it press the soil hard against the bottom ofthe roots ; see that the hole is about half filled with earth, then fill even full with water, and after the water has partly soaked in, draw the soil about the plant lightly, so as to fill the hole even full, and the work is complete. If the planting is done directly after a heavy rain, the water may be dispensed with, but unless the ground is very wet, we should always use the water ; and be sure to give them enough to keep the ends ofthe roots wet until they begin to grow. We have transplanted thousands of plants in a comparatively dry time (we never wait for rain), without losing more than five plants out of a hundred, and we never use any water only at the time of transplanting. The above directions will apply equally well for transplanting all other annuals that will “ear removing. * A astick about fifteen inches long and one inch in diameter, with one end tapered nearly to a point. 8 FLOWER SEEDS BY MAIL. 7 FLOWER SEEDS BY MAIL.
