THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Annual flowers had a longer period of bloom than usual, asters alone doing poorly, 

 which was generally the case with them wherever grown. 



The ground was deeply dug over in the fall, and well-rotted manure dug in and 

 before planting, it was loosened on top. The perennial flower beds were dug over in 

 the spring, as deeply as the roots would permit, a good coating of manure being 

 applied. 



Each fall, all tops are removed and a covering of coarse manure put on for winter 

 protection. 



Annuals — Sown in hothouse, March 18. 26, and 31. Sot out June G, 7, 8.
