WHEN TO SOW 



Spring-Sovm. — This class may be sown as well in 

 spring in the open ground when early bloom is not 

 required, Forget-me-nots and English Daisies excepted, 

 or else in the early spring under glass in order to 

 hasten the bloom. 



The beautiful Jime Campanula medium, biennial, 

 (Canterbury BeU) for best results should be started 

 in the open nursery in May to blossom a year later 

 for three or four weeks, and not agaia. It is about 

 as hardy as the Pansy. 



The garden cannot have too many plants of Snap- 

 dragon, Larkspur, Campanula medium, and Feverfew. 

 They are easily reared, occupy but a small space, and 

 if sown the preceding year, will finish blooming the 

 next season by the time the spring-sown plants are 

 ready to replace them. They can be replaced by their 

 kind (except Campanula) or others. It is only when 

 Snapdragon is forced to begin full flowering in early 

 June that it requires to be replaced in August by 

 Snapdragon from a later sowing.
