In the following list will be found Biennials and Peren- 

 nials, that do not bloom until the second season. As will 

 be seen, they include many of our oldest and most popular 

 flowers The seed can be sown in the Spring with the An- 

 nuals, or in early Autumn ; in the latter case the beds 

 should be shaded and watered until the plants appear. 



Magnificent flowers, large, perfect in form, and delight- 

 fully fragrant. Seed sown in May or June will bloom 

 splendidly the following season. A succession of young 

 plants should be had every year, as old plants are injured 

 by the Winter, while young ones are perfectly hardy.
