All those marked thus, * may be sown in pots, earlv this 

 month, and placed in a green-house, hot-bed, or frame, where 

 they will soon make their appearance, and may be transplanted 

 into the border in May. The others may be sown in the 

 open ground about the middle of May, making the soil light 

 and fine, and guarding the seeds against drought and heavy 

 rains. If it is desirable to have them earlier, they may be 

 sown in pots, in the same manner as recommended above, and 

 transplanted in IMay to the oi)en air; selecting places in the 

 flower border where the plants will not be overrun with others 

 of too vigorous growth. Water after transplanting, if the 

 weather is dry. — Ed.
