usually denominated of this class ; for, after the 

 first blow, the plants become straggling, and flower 

 weakly ; it is, therefore, that they are always layered, 

 &c. to continue them-. The plain, deep red, or clove 

 scented carnation, is $& original, and an established 

 cultivated sort. The rest are classed under the 

 heads, flakes, bizarres, picqaetees, and painted ladies, 

 according to their colours, stripes, spots, anJ pounc- 

 ings. For layering, and raising carnations, see the 

 end of this section. 



Chelone, the seed of this flower is best sown as 

 soon as ripe, in autumn; and coining up in the 

 spring, they may be planted in the borders, in Jane 

 and July, and will flower the same season. 



Goafs Beard, the young shoots are eat (as those 

 oijalsqfy) like asparagus at spring. 



Primrose tree, makes a pretty show, but produces 

 so much seed, that it becomes rather a troublesome 

 weed to some people. Cut the flower stems oft* or 

 pull up the plant, before the seed pods are ripe 

 enough to shed their numerous contents. 



RndbccUa, or American sun-flower, 'this biennial 

 sort is called hardy, but should nevertheless have a 

 dry sheltered situation. The narrow leaved dwarf 

 perennial (about three feet) sometimes proves bien- 

 nial, and may be sown as such, a little every year, 

 by those who would extend their culture of flowers. 



Scabious has been noticed in the two last lists as 

 an annual, which it becomes, if sown early ; and 

 some gardeners make a point of doing i: on a little 

 heat to forward them. As a biennial, it should not 

 be sown too soon; but if forward plant < are trans- 

 planted in June, it will .prevent their fl )wering till 

 next year, when they will come verj fine aad strong, 

 and this is the way to produce good seed. 



Sena, bladder, or Ethiopian scarlet colu 'ea, is n> 

 ther tender, and the seedling plants must be potted
