ART. 2. Annuals and Biennials. 



There are many kinds of annuals and biennials that are 

 highly deserving the attention of the amateur, for winter and 

 spring flowering in the green-house ; the sweet-scented Mig- 

 nonette is one of these, and there are several varieties of 

 stocks of the annual and biennial kinds which will be enu- 

 merated in the list to follow. Those of the tender kinds are 

 the best for the green-house ; and the seed may be sown in 

 pots, early in the fall, and placed in the front of the green- 

 house, where they will flower, if properly managed in the 

 winter and the spring. If a succession is wanted of the an- 

 nuals, a second sowing may be made about the beginning of 

 February, to succeed those sown in the fall. The biennials 

 will require the same treatment as other plants in the house.
