TO FLOWER MIGNIONETTE, 



DURING THE MONTHS OF WINTER AND SPRING. 



Sow the seeds in 48 sized pots, with their bottoms well drained, in a com- 

 post of leaf mould, mellow loam, and river sand. Plunge in a frame, having 

 them near the glass, and when the plants are about one ineh high, thin them 

 out to six or seven in a put. Give air when not frosty, but keep the lights 

 closed in severe weather. At all times, except when the plants are in bloom,

 inch in diameter, and an inch deep; put a small portion of the mixture into 

 each hole, and beat it down very firm to the bottom of the hole. This done,
