 ANNUAL, WALLFLOWER. 

 These old garden favor^ 

 ites have not had the" ex- 

 tensive cultivation they de- 

 serve, owing to their 1 half 

 hardy nature requiring a. 

 great deal of . protection 

 during winter. In this new 

 annual sort we hav.e one 

 which if sown in March or 

 April can be had in flower 

 by July. They furnish nice 

 cut . flowers of exceptional 

 fragrance. -
