We wish every one who really loves flow- 

 ers to become better acquainted with this 

 charming and useful class of plants. They 

 are easily grown and give better returns 

 for room and care than almost any other 

 class of plants. They will not endure frost, 

 heavy winds or hot sun, but if planted in 



sheltered locations, given light, rich soil, 

 plenty of water and partial shade, all varie- 

 ties will thrive, while many will do well 

 grown in full sunlight. We have divided 

 them into classes, with some suggestions as 

 to their adaptations, and hope all our cus- 

 tomers will grow at least a few for either
