GARDENING FOR LITTLE GIRLS 
The biennial seeds are best sown in the seed 
nursery, where they can be watched and protected. 
In the late summer the young plants will be big 
and strong enough to set out in the border, al- 
though you must give them a light covering of 
leaves and litter. The seeds started in July and 
August, however, better be left protected in the 
nursery and moved in the early spring. 
The dainty blue forget-me-not, or myosotis, is one 
of the best loved of this class. Some varieties are 
hardy, and often found growing wild. It gener- 
ally does best in a damp, partly shaded location. 
It grows from 6 to 18 inches high, according to the 
different kinds, which blossom most of the summer. 
The seeds of biennials seldom produce flowers the 
first summer, but several—and among them the 
myosotis,—after being grown a few years in the 
same spot, come up like perennials, on account 
of sowing themselves. 
The foxglove is another of the few biennials that 
are hardy, and it also likes a cool, shady spot. If 
the plants come up thickly, transplant part of them 
to any well-prepared, rich ground, and keep moist 
and well cultivated until the middle of September, 
when you should move them again to their per-
