Qjrri^ Bros.' horticultural Quide.- 



No class of flowers 

 have been so much im- 

 proved in recent years 

 and none have so well 

 maintained their repu- 

 tation. The varieties 

 here offered at ex- 

 tremely low prices, are 

 the cream of what is now being 

 offered on the world's market- 

 Sowing should be made in well 

 prepared ground as early as it 

 can be worked, ft will be found 

 a most excellent plan to sow in 

 a trench about six inches deep, 

 gradually drawing back the soil 

 as they advance in growth ; this 

 will greatly aid the plants to 

 withstand our hot summers. Never allow them to run to seed, as once in the 

 seed-pod they are finished for the season. The more you cut, the greater the 

 quantity of blooms they will produce.
