FLOWER SEEDS 



FOR SHRUBBERIES, WOODLAND WALKS, RAILWAY E3IBANK3IEXTS, DECORATION 

 OF WILDERNESSES, &C., 

 5s. 6d. PER POUND, OR 9d. PER OUNCE. 



In a conversation with our " Sardinian Correspondent," some few years ago, he pictured to us, 

 in terms somewhat glowing, the rich native flora of Italy and many other parts of the Continent, at 

 the same time stating that, where Nature failed 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 pleasure we now find that what then to our minds was an experiment, 

 has proved of the utmost importance. Many gentlemen, having availed themselves of the suggestion, 

 have scattered these seeds on large rockeries ; rooteries, natural and artificial ; in shrubberies ; 

 woodland walks ; carriage drives, and wildcniesses ; 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. 



FOR A SUMMER AND AUTUMN 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 during wet weather. 



FOR A SPRING AND EARLY SUMMER DISPLAY, 

 Sow in September and October.
