aARDEN SEEDS. 



The directions whicli follow are founded on practical experience in 

 the vicinity of Philadelphia, where gardening operations are generally 

 commenced early in March. These directions may, however, be applied 

 to all other parts of the United States, by a minute observance of the 

 difference in temperature. 



Thus, to the north, the directions for March will apply to April ; and 

 at the south, to January, February, or whatever season gardening 

 operations may commence in the respective States. 



T*€g€tahle Seeds by Mail, 



All the finer sorts, (Beans and Peas excepted, which are too bulky 

 and heavy, unless ordered in very small quantities,) can be readily 

 forwarded by mail, and to those residing at a distance, and out of the 

 reach of Express lines, it affords a safe and easy way of procuring 

 EELIABLE and PURE SEEDS not otherwise obtainable. The cost 

 of postage will be about one-third that of the seeds ; thus a package of 

 assorted Garden seeds costing $1.00, will cost 36 cents postage — when 

 ordered by the ounce, six cents additional must be sent for each ounce 

 ordered, to prepay postage. Persons in making remittances can govern 

 themselves accordingly. 



K^^/Z Orders by Mail will receive prompt attention. 



The seeds can be had in five and ten cent papers, (the new and rare 

 ones in ten cent papers only,) or by the ounce, pound or quart, at the 

 prices annexed.

 Plant the seeds early in April, in rich soil, in drills one inch deep, 

 and about twelve inches apart. When one year old, transplant into well- 

 manured ground, in rows five feet apart, and two feet from plant to 

 plant. Protect during the winter by throwing up ridges of earth, and 

 covering with manure or leaves.
