AND GUIDE TO THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



17 



The following we offer as above. They have been selected for the oi-namcntul efiEect they produce in 

 large masse?.' marginal luies or ribbons in flower borders, and for the fine effect large groups of them j)ro- 

 j^duce in shnibberies, arboretums, woodland walk?, tV-c, or for covermg large blank spaces, or lieds on sloping 

 D&nks, or in the bonlers of approaches to extensive lawns and pleasure grounds. The dwarf Larkspurs, for 

 their close compact habit and handsome flower spikes, are admirably adapted and exceedingly effective 

 when groA\ii in avenue-Uke lines or parallel borders ; the tall-gi-owing varieties produce a charming effect 

 gi'own amono-st shuubs. The Tom Thumb Nasturtiums are imsui-passed by any of our bedding-out plants 

 for richness of colour, profusion, and duration of bloom.

OS. Gd.jJer Pound, or Qd.jJer Ounce. 

 In a conversation with our " Sardinian Correspondent," some few j-ears ago. he pictm-ed to us, in terms 

 somewhat glowing, the rich native flora of Ital}^, and many other parts of the Continent, at the same time 

 stating that, where Nature faUed to adorn. Art became her handmaiden. This conversation originated 

 the idea of adding to the native flora of Britain, and which we at once endeavoured to carry out, by mixing 

 nearly 100 sorts of the hardiest and most showy annuals ; and it is with no small degree of pleasm-e we 

 now find that what then to our minds was an experiment, has proved of the utmost impoi-tance. Many 

 gentlemen, having availed themselves of the suggestion, have scattered these seeds on large rockeries ; 

 rooteries, natm-al and artificial ; in shrubberies ; woodland walks ; carnage drives, and wildernesses ; also, 

 by the side of rivulets, and wherever a floral display was desired beyond the limits of the flower garden, 

 and the result has been most satisfactory, imparting beauty where there was none before, and an interest 

 to the most uninteresting localities. 



FOE A SL^OIER AND AUTL^IN DISPLAY, 

 Sow during March and April, simply scattering the seed broadcast, at the rate of 6 or 7 lbs. per acre, and 

 without covering it ; but later in the season it must either be covered, or sown duiing wet weather. 



FOR A SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER DISPLAY,— Sow in September and October.
