through June, or even the beginning of July, as annual stock, 

 candy tuft, convolvulus minor, corn bottles, heart's ease, yel- 

 low lupine, mignonette, sweet-pea^ and pheasant's eye. But, 

 if dry weather, the seeds must be watered to bring them up, 

 and the plants also to bring them forward. 



OBSERVATIONS OiST PARTICULAR FLOWERS. 



Belvidere is admired for its beautiful regular 

 growth. The autumn sown seed make far the finest 

 plants, and as self-sown ones often come up, they 

 should be preserved. This flower is adapted for 

 potting, and thus it looks well. See pages 291, 301. 



Ketmia, the flower fades in a very short time, when 

 the sun is out ; but the plant produces a great num- 

 ber, in long succession. 



Larkspur is seldom permitted to attain its utmost 

 perfection, not allowing it room enough. The large 

 sorts should be from a foot to eighteen inches asun- 

 der, and the dwarf half this distance. See page 301. 

 Pull up all singles. See page 62. 



Mignonette is somewhat tender, and is often sown 

 on heat, early in the spring, to obtain forward plants, 

 for pricking out into pots, boxes, or baskets, to be 

 housed in windows, &c. As it does not transplant 

 well, take it up with a little earth about the roots ; 

 and, if convenient, put the pots, &c. on a little heat, 

 till rooted. Summer sown plants, if housed in win- 

 ter, become Biennial ; cut them down first. 



Mulberry blight., or more properly blltc\ i. e. 

 the herb blitum, whose fruit resembles a red unripe 

 mulberry. It is also called strawberry spinach, from 

 the leaves being like those of the prickly spinach, 

 and the fruit like a scarlet strawberry. The plant 

 must be supported by a wall, pales, or sticks, or. the 

 weight of the fruit (not eatable) will bring them to 

 the ground. It looks best, and is very handsome, 

 when trained, which it should be, just as a fruit tree,
