advancement as that they will flower as early as possi- 

 ble in the following spring. They should be planted in 

 an open situation, and kept as far distant from other 

 kinds of the same tribe as may be. As they are very 

 liable to cross or hybridize, it is^ perhaps better, except 

 in the case of some favorite variety, to procure sup- 

 plies from a respectable seedsman, from whom they are 

 almost uniformly to be had genuine, the extensive seed- 

 growers being at great pains to prevent intermixture 

 of crops. 



Grange's Early White, and the Early Purple Cape, 

 are the kinds best adapted to the climate of the Middle 

 States. The Dwarf Tartarian, White Malta, and Late 

 White, are fine sorts for situations south of Virginia, 

 where they may remain out all winter. But to be able 

 to have them during winter in the Middle and Northern 

 States, it is necessary, before the occurrence of a severe 

 frost, to remove them from the garden, by careful lift- 

 ing, and replant under a shed or in a cellar.
