of the Double Feverfew, called 

 by botanists, Pyrethrum parthe- 

 nium, which is very pretty ; its 

 white flowers are a great orna- 

 ment to the garden. It is an ex- 

 ceedingly neat border perennial, 

 about two feet high, producing a 

 great abundance of white flow- p PAKTHEXIUM - 

 ers, and continues in bloom a long time. It 

 is a native of England, and generally cultiva- 

 ted and greatly admired in the cottage flower 

 gardens in that country. — It should be sown 

 on finely pulverized soil, lightly covered, and 

 rolled down hard, or it will not vegetate. — 

 When young, transplant it into borders where 

 it is to remain. 



The two first you named, are the most 

 superb perennials, and can be propagated only 

 by dividing the roots. 



M. The Convolvulus Minor is beginning to 

 open its rich tricolored flowers.
