THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Nearly all the flowers gave an abundance of bloom, the most interesting being 

 the tulips and pansies. 



The tulips beginning to bloom May 20, made a very brilliant display, and con- 

 tinued until the pansies, sweet williams, and chrysanthemums were in bloom. 



The pansies, stocks, phlox Drummondii, and verbenas continued their bloom until 

 the 14th of October, making the border very attractive during the entire season.
