ON A LIST OF PLANTS FOR FURNISHING A FLOWER GARDEN, SO 

 AS TO BLOOM SUCCESSIVELY. 



BY J. M. 



Having a few moments to spare from my daily avocations, I 

 have drawn up a list of plants, such as I think most suitable for 

 the plans which are inserted in the July cabinet, and I hope it 

 will be of service to many of your readers ; for I am sorry to 

 say, there are but few flower gardens attended to as I should like 

 to see them, viz. in flower most of the season. 



I should recommend (which is not in my list) a few of the best 

 annuals to be sown in pots or beds in the autumn, so as to be 

 fit for tranplanting into the beds that will be done flowering 

 about the end of March, as there will not be many which will 

 be in my list fit for planting out before the middle of May. 



Some of your readers may think that I should have inserted 

 many plants into my list that I have not, if there are any such, 

 my advice to those individuals is, to introduce into their gar- 

 dens whatever may tend to give their flower beds the best ef- 

 fect. 



But I must say, that after four years studying and making lists 

 of such plants as I thought most suitable, for prolonging the in- 

 teresting scenery of a flower garden, that the following list will 

 meet the object in view, viz. a display of plants which are in 

 bloom most part of the season. 



All the bulbs, except the Tulips, should remain in the ground 

 and only be replanted every three or four years. 



If my publie assistance can be of any service to you at any time 

 it is at your command, for I rejoice to see you adopting the sys- 

 tem of giving plans,which is a new era in the Cabinet, and will, 

 no doubt, be gratifying to many of your readers, and my worst 

 wish for you is, go on and prosper.
