sowing ; for from the seed the tree will surely 

 come. 



332. I shall now proceed to give an Alphabeti- 

 cal List of such flowering Trees, Shrubs and 

 Plants as I think worthy of cultivation ; or, rath- 

 er, that I myself would wish to have about my 

 house, or in my garden. As I go on I shall state 

 some particulars here and there relating to propa- 

 gation and management ; but, to be very particular 

 would be superfluous, seeing that such full direc- 

 tions have been given in the former parts of the 

 work, as to the sowing of all seeds, great as well 

 as small ; as to the raising of trees and plants 

 from cuttings, slips, layers, and suckers, and as 

 cultivation and tillage. Flowers are divided into 

 annuals, biennials and. perennials. The first blow 

 and die the year they are sown; the second 

 blow the second year and then die; the third some- 

 times blow the first year, and sometimes not, and 

 die down to the ground annually, but spring up 

 again every spring. I have not made separate 

 lists ; but have included the whole in one Alpha- 

 betical List. There are sixty trees, shrubs and 

 plants altogether ; and, properly cultivated, these 

 will give a grand bloom from May to November,

 seed, or from suckers. There are several sorts, 

 as to the colours. They should be mixed to 

 make a variety. Save the seed in November or 

 December. The pods are full. Sow in the 

 spring. Seed produces the handsomest shrub ; 

 and it is to be got almost any where.
