 all the summer and fall. They are of the easiest culture, 

 and should be represented in every garden. Sow outdoor^

Below we give a list of the six best sorts of Everlasting Flowers. They are of 

 the easiest cultivation, Seed of all the varieties can be sown outdoors during April 

 and May. The Gomphrena should be sown in boxes in the house or in hot-beds, as 

 it sometimes does not germinate well in the open ground. Suitable when dried for
