 ihe most beautiful and desirable flowers we have, 

 iighly valued for their constant bloom and delicate 

 "ragrance; they flower freely during the Summer and 

 Fall in the garden, and if taken indoors and kept in a 

 jool, light room, will produce an abundance of lovely

 )ff those intended for Winter bloom, and they should 

 De taken in before hard frost, as they are not entirely 

 lardy. The following are some of the finest varieties 

 n cultivation.
