THE 



AMATEUR CULTIVATOR'S GUIDE 



TO THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



To aid in making selections of seeds, the botanical name is given, and the popular name when 

 there is such, together with the natm'al order to which it belongs, as indicative of the general char- 

 acter of the flower. These, with the full remarks, will enable the amateur to make a judicious 

 selection. 



In giving orders for seeds, it is preferable to mention the numbers ; but, as the numbers are often 

 changed, it is absolutely necessary to give the date of Catalogue.
