 Capsicums in sorts, Serpent Cucumber, and Squirting Cucumber ; 

 White and Purple Egg-plant ; Cleomc, purple, white, and dwarf 

 Dolichos, with many other kinds ; for which, see the general Cata- 

 logue of annuals. The whole of the preceding sorts, may be sown 

 in small patches in the borders, interspersing the kinds, so as to 

 form a well assorted variety, and a long succession of bloom. If to be 

 sown in patches observe the directions given for sowing hardy annual 

 floivc r seeds, in page 150, Sec. which will now be perfectly applicable 

 to these. Such as you wish to sow in small beds for transplanting, 

 let them be sown as directed, for perennial and biennial flower seeds, 

 in page 345, observing always, to give each kind, a depth of cover- 

 ing, in proportion to the size of the seed. 



Let the beds or patches, be frequently watered, in dry weather, 

 both before and after the plants appear ; and when they have been 

 up a few weeks, let all the large growing kinds be thinned, where 

 they have risen too thick ; observing to transplant into other places, 

 where wanted, some of the best you pull up, of the kinds that suc- 

 ceed in that way : thin the others as directed in May, 8cc. 



Any of the smaller growing kinds, such as mignonette, ten- week 

 stock, Brawallia, sensitive plant, ice plant, &c. may be sown in pot's, 

 and if duly watered and kept clean, will arrive at good perfection ; 

 but the two last, will require the protection of glasses for some 

 time. 



Sowing Carjiation and Pink Seeds. 



Carnation and Pink seeds, may be sown, any time this month. 

 As it is from seed, that all new varieties are obtained, you should 

 sow some every year ; and if you have but one good variety from, 

 each sowing, there can be no reason to complain ; as this, may after- 

 wards be abundantly propagated, by layers, or slips. The fine 

 double kinds seldom ripen seed, but semi-doubles c!o very plcnti-
