BIENNIAL AND JPERENNIAL FLOWEPS. 147 



The annexed Catalogue embraces a great proportion 'of 

 the most desirable of what are termed fibrous-rooted herba- 

 ceous plants ; the seed or roots of which mny be obtained at 

 Seed Stores and Nurseries, The estimated height applies 

 to plants of a year's growth ; some will arrive to more than 

 three times that height when cultivated in a greenhouse, and 

 even in open ground culture the same plants will vary con- 

 siderably, according to the soil or situation in which they 

 are grown ; the specified height however, although una- 

 voidably imperfect, may serve as a guide to the gardener in 

 arranging his flower beds. Those marked thus,f being ten- 

 der, and half hardy will need protection in the Winter: those 

 marked thus, || are Biennial : those marked thus, * yield 

 little or no seed. There are also many other species of which 

 the seed is unattainable, from its being suffered to scatter by 

 the wind, and in some cases, from the climate being unfavour- 

 able to its ripening ; these, as will be shown hereafter, may 

 be perpetuated by other methods.
