ANISOPIAAor^jcoZa, is a beetle which 

 often attacks the rose flowers about 

 June. Its maggots live under turf, and 

 feed on its roots. 



ANNUALS, are plants which live but 

 one year, and, consequently, require to 

 be raised from seed annually. By a 

 particular mode of culture some of them 

 may be made to live longer. Thus 



have been the crops to which they have 

 been chiefly applied. Half a ton per 

 acre is a fair dressing.

Hardy Annuals are sown where they 

 are to remain in the open borders, in 

 March or April, as the latitude and 

 temperature may make expedient, of 

 which the cultivator can readily judge ; 

 it is usually safe to sow them when the 

 peach expands its blossoms. Whether 

 sown in patches or broad masses,

They have all been found good in a

 all soils where calcareous matters are i state of the greatest beauty from the 



to the taste of the sower — guided by his 

 knowledge of the colours of the flowers. 

 These should be well contrasted. No 

 one but an ignoramus would have many 

 sorts of the same colour together. Every 

 patch should beproperly labelled, which 

 is easily done by having some deal laths, 

 one inch broad, planed smooth, cut into 

 nine-inch lengths, and painted white. 

 On these the names can be written with 

 a lead pencil.

ANISE, (Tragium anisiim.) Half- 

 hardy annual, used for garnishing or 



seasoning. Sow during April in pots most miserable objects in the garden, 

 plunged in a hotbed; remove to a warm, I for tlie pots become so dry, from the 

 light border in May. Thin the plants to continual evaporation of water, through 

 six inches apart. The seed is ripe in their porous sides, that the plants are 

 August or September. It does not bear literally starved 



plants of a similar nature in pots. And 

 for this purpose an ample variety may 

 be had for three-pence a seed-paper, 

 without having recourse to any means 

 more costly. 



" Not that the common method of 

 growing plants in pots will answer this 

 end ; on the contrary, managed as they 

 usually are, annuals, in pots, are the 



transplanting. 



The method to pursue in preparing
