APRIL. 



55 



States, for the more southern part of the Union, 

 where they stay until the return of spring ; 

 and then wing their way to the north, reliev- 

 ing the fatigue of their long passage by their 

 friendly gossip. They reach this part of the 

 country from the first of March to the middla 

 of April, according to. the season. 



M* Do see how these plants of Heart's 

 Ease flourish ; it is but a few days since you 

 moved them, what a variety there is already. 



H. I was careful in moving them, and the 

 early flowering perennials, as well as the bien- 

 nials, to take up a large portion of earth with 

 them that the bloom might not be checked. 

 Such as are more tardy, can be moved with 

 more certainty of success, even if they are di- 

 vided or cut to pieces, if necessary to increase 

 the kind. But as a general thing the roots 

 should not be much disturbed, to insure a 

 strong bloom, when moved in the spring*
