A SIMPLE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Each plant, or group of plants, requires a different treat- 

 ment. Below are the plants and directions for their 

 treatment. 



Tea-roses, ^ Jasmine, 



Heliotrope, Cape Jasmine, 



Geranium : — 



To be cut back slightly and planted in the garden. 



Carnations, Stocke, 

 Murandia, Chinese Primrose, 



Mignonette, AUyssum : — 



To be thrown awaj as valueless. 



Azalia, Camellia, 

 Orange, Ivy, 

 Lemon : — 



To be kept in the pots, and placed on the north side of 

 a fence or building where there is a partial shade. Under 

 a tree will not do, as the drip during rain is injurious. Do 

 not set them on the bare ground, but upon a bed of ashes, 

 or a board. It will be plain that, during their stay out of 

 doors, thej must be watered when they require it. This 

 will not occur every day, as each rain will aid in the 

 matter. 



Smilax. 



This may be cut down as soon as it goes to seed, or 

 ceases to grow, and allowed to dry up. The plant, pot 

 and all, may be put away on some dry shelf till wanted 

 next season.
