N.B. Should any of your readers require the color of the flow-

I beg leave to submit to the readers of the Floricultural Cabinet 

 the mode by which I have raised seedling Heartsease. In saving

 grown in the garden, or if possible near the plants from which 

 the seed is to be gathered. The pods containing the seed must 

 be taken from the plants, when they have grown to their full size, 

 and before they are quite ripe, spread on a large cloth and placed 

 it in a sunny aspect, as if you waited till they were quite ripe, 

 the seed vessels fly open, and disperse the seed, so that it is quite 

 necessary that the cloth on which you spread the seed to ripen 

 should cover a good space, otherwise you will lose half your seed. 

 It will be quite ripe in August and September. The end of January 

 I make a hot bed with stable manure, and place on it a small 

 one-light frame ; when the heat has declined, I put a layer there
