As many city gardens are so limited as not to admit of 

 an extensive assortment of flowers, a select list may be 

 made from the above catalogue to suit the taste of such as 

 may be so situated ; and amateurs, who cultivate on a larger 

 scale, can obtain such additional sorts as may be desired at 

 the different seed stores, under their various names. 



Previous to providing annual flower seeds, th cultivator 

 should lay out a plan of his garden, and in making 

 allotments of ground for any particular purpose, provision 

 should be made for a select assortment of such bulbous, 

 tuberous, and perennial plant?, as may be deemed most 

 worthy of attention, not forgetting to leave room for some 

 of the choicest varieties of the Dahlia, the qualities of which 

 will be described hereafter. 



Another consideration is, to have suitable implements 

 ready, so that the work may be performed in a skilful 

 manner, and at the proper season. A spade, rake, hoe, 

 trowel, drilling machine, and pruning knife, maybe deemed 

 essentials ; and in order to have the beds laid out, with the 

 eilges straight and even, a garden line should be in rea- 

 diness. If labels should be required, they may be made of 

 shingles, which being split into strips of about an inch wide, 

 and sharpened at one end, will serve for marking distinct 

 kinds, either in pots, or on the borders. In order to have 

 the names or numbers written in legible characters, the 

 labels should be painted on the smooth side with white lead, 

 and then marked with black lead pencil before the paint 

 gets dry ; inscriptions made in this way, will be as durable 

 as the label itself.
