 and some inches apart from each other ; and they 

 must be finally transplanted in autumn into the 

 beds where they are intended to remain.

 double flowers ; therefore it is better to make sure 

 of those you approve by perpetuating them as long 

 as you can, by any root ofl'sets they may throw off ,' 

 by pipings, cuttings, or by layers, as before noticed. 

 I subjoin a list of the principal and useful biennials.
