FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 



these flowers would do well to obtain a few of the best 

 sorts, and give them a fair trial during one whole year. If 

 then satisfied with them, they may purchase and plant 

 freely, and be well rewarded for their pains. 



Double daisies may be raised from purchased seed 

 with very little trouble. We have obtained from cheap 

 sho^T seed some very good flowers, with, as might be 

 expected, a proportion of poor weedy things that were 

 not worth keeping. The best way to raise seedlings is to 

 sow in pans earl)' in the spring, and when tlie plants are 

 large enough they should be planted in the most open 

 situation that can be found for them.
