THE 



f 



ANNUALS. 



To aid in making the selection of seeds, the botanical name i« given, and the popular 

 name when there is such, together with the natural order to which it belongs, as indicative 

 of the general character of the flower. These, with the full remarks, will enable the amateur 

 to make a judicious selection. ; • 



Wishing' to make this book as simple as possible, we have divided the flower-seeds 

 into classes, viz.: Annuals, Biennials, Perennials, Greenhouse, Summer Climbers, Everlast- 

 ings, and Ornamental Grasses. 



In giving orders for seeds, it is preferable to mention the numbers; but, as the numbers 

 are often changed, it is absolutely necessary to give the date of the Catalogue.
