 are worthless, but the double flowering sorts are very

 protection of a cold-frame or conservatory through the 

 winter : any good garden soil suits them.

RHODANTHE-lEverlasting-). 



Of all the many varieties of everlastings, we think the 

 Rhodanthe the finest and most beautiful. The flowers 

 are of various colors, pure silvery white with yellow 

 disc, rosy crimson and bright purple, rose suffused with 

 white, &c. For winter bouquets, the blossoms should be 

 gathered before they are fully expanded, and if dried in 

 the shade, they will retain their brilliancy for years. 

 The leaves are heart shaped and lustrous, and the calyx 

 long, scaly and shining. The seeds should be started in 

 hot-bed, and the plants transplanted to a warm situa- 

 tion, one foot apart. Tender annual ; one foot high.
