In such a room should be a nest of 

 very shallow drawers or trays, divided 

 into compartments, each holding a tin 

 box three inches in diameter, and on 

 the lid of each a label, inscribed with 

 the name of the seed. Such an ar- 

 rangement not only saves the seed, but 

 saves the gardener's time, especially if 

 the seeds are arranged alphabetically 

 in the drawers. 



SELAGO. Eighteen species. Green- 

 house evergreen shrubs. Cuttings. 

 Loam, peat and sand. 

 SELFHEAL. Prunella. 

 SEMPERVIVUM. House-leek. 

 Thirty species. Green-house evergreen 

 shrubs, annuals, and biennials ; and 

 hardy and half-hardy herbaceous peren- 

 nials. The green-house evergreens in- 

 crease by partly ripened cuttings, and 

 require a mixture of sandy loam and 

 brick rubbish. The hardy kinds increase 

 by offsets, and grow on rocks or walls. 

 The annuals and biennials increase by 

 seed.
