in bloom from May to October. 407 



in perfection this month, opening its azure flowers after " the 

 keen and frosty night," with renewed brilliancy. It should be 

 transferred from its native habitats (where it may be often seen) 

 to the flower-border of every garden. The red berries of the 

 Crataegus and the white ones of the snowberry now ornament the 

 border: noisette and China roses continue to bloom in tolerable 

 profusion. 



The different salvias will be now in their splendor. Ferbena 

 chamsedrifolia will also flower till severe frost destroys the plants. 

 Petunias, Lobelia bicolor, calendrinias, &c., will also show an 

 abundance of flowers this month. Most of the annuals, as men- 

 tioned last month, continue in bloom. 



We here conclude our remarks on this subject, and we hope 

 the several papers have been as useful to our readers, or that 

 portion of them who are in want of such information, as they 

 have anticipated. We have not, as we beheve that our readers 

 are aware, intended them for the professed amateur in floricul- 

 ture, but for the proprietor of the suburban, or village garden, 

 where there is but a small quantity of ground, and where a con- 

 tinual rather than a purely rare display of flowers is wanted, from 

 the commencement of the season, until late in the autumn. The 

 number of plants may be augmented, in a great degree, and many 

 very beautiful ones included; but the prices of such are yet with- 

 out the reach of many who would desire them, and are therefore 

 willing to wait until their cultivation shall become so general, that 

 they may be easily obtained. A garden containing such a num- 

 ber and variety of plants as we have enumerated, will be by no 

 means a very ordinary one, and the owner of such should annu- 

 ally plant any new seeds of perennials, in 'order to enrich it as 

 much as possible, and also add two or three new plants every 

 season. If there is considerable room, duphcates may be at 

 first planted, which can afterwards be destroyed; when the space 

 is very hmited, the whole stock, of some of the least beautiful, 

 may be rooted out, to make place for more choice ones. By 

 pursuing some such system, the garden will be a source of in- 

 creasing interest, and eventually contain an excellent collection of 

 plants. 



We shall improve the first opportunity, if not in the present 

 volume, in the succeeding one, to give a list of the most de- 

 sirable plants for a small green-house; and if not prevented for 

 want of time, a few hints on the cultivation of each species and 

 variety.
