Childsii and GrofPs Hybrids, but for the cutting 

 bed any of the ordinary mixtures that cost from a 

 dollar and a quarter to a dollar and a half a hun- 

 dred will do, and they will be found to be much 

 surer than the fancy strains and altogether satis- 

 factory, although they do not produce such large 

 and showy spikes of bloom. The bulbs should be 

 taken up in the Fall and stored in a dry cellar 

 where the temperature will not go below thirty-five 

 degrees. 



COSMOS should be kept out of the garden. 

 Blooms very late and is generally caught by frost. 



NASTURTIUMS; tall growing to train over the 

 hedge. Nasturtiums should be planted where they 

 are to be used as they are badly checked when 

 transplanted. 



PETUNIAS; double varieties of different colours. 



POPPIES; Shirley; double varieties; Mephisto; 

 Maid of the Mist. 



STOCKS; Ten Weeks and late flowering sorts; 

 rather uncertain about coming into bloom. 



WALL FLOWER ; Paris is a single annual with the 

 peculiarly sweet Wallflower scent; easy to grow 

 and attractive along the path.
