and beautiful things goes to show 

 how our education and tastes in such 

 matters are Increasing from day to 

 day and how of all the luxuries and 

 industries, that of the cultivation of 

 flowers and vegetables is the most 

 innocent. It is productive not only of 

 many gratifications but of many ad- 

 vantages also of a permanent char- 

 acter. The care of a garden is like- 

 wise a recreation and conduces materi- 

 ally to health, promotes civilization 

 and softens the manners and tempers 

 of men. In their growth from the 

 tender shoots which rise from the 

 earth through all the changes which 

 they undergo to the period of their 

 utmost perfection, man beholds the 

 wonderful works of creative power. 

 He views the bud as it swells and 

 looks into the expanded blossom, de- 

 lights in its rich tints and fragi-ant 

 smell, but above all he feels a charm 

 in contemplating the movements and 

 regulations before which till the com- 

 bined ingenuity of man dwindles into 

 nothingness. 



Chas. H. Vick of Rochester states 

 that his firm will plant sufficient of 

 Vick's Branching Aster, white, to pro- 

 duce 200 pounds of seed. As there are 

 seven colors in this popular florists' 

 aster some idea is afforded of the 

 enormous demand for the seed.
