The most popular plant grown, either for pot 
culture in winter, or for bedding out in summer. 
No llowering plants are more grown, and cer- 
tainly none are more suitable for large beds, 
where a mass of bloom Is desired, or for single 
specimens in pots for the house. But few are 
aware that they can be grown easily from seed 
and ilowerthe first season, if sown early, and 
will frequently reward the cultivator with 
charming new varieties: in fact, propagation 
by seed is the only sure way to obtain new va- 
rieties. The seed I offer has been saved from 25 
of the finest varieties grown, including Mad. 
Thebault, Mad. Garfield, Gen. Grant, ('apt. Ains- 
worth, Little Gem, Cloth of Gold, Ha ppy Thought. 
Snow- on Mountain, Adonis, and Beaconsfield : 
also included in this mixture are 7 varieties of 
Pelargoniums,- or Lady Washington; and two

forth some splendid new varieties.
