 Will all hlooni, or, if foliag'e plants, attain perfection the same season, provided that the 

 seeds are sown reasonably early in the spring. This class of plants is highly appreci- 

 ated as they save the expense and trouble of carrying plants over winter for the summer

 brilliant masses of color scarcely equaled by any other class of plants.
