PERMANENT SPRING BEDDING. 
gai’clenei’3 and amateurs can be brought to understand the nature of a few of the foregoing 
liardy plants, tliero will be no diHiculty and very little trouble in malting our bare beds look 
cheerful all the winter, and the first few days of mild w’eather in the new year really very 
attractive, and as the spring approaches, lovely; for many of the Primroses, Iberis, Violas, Daisies, 
&c., are really very beautiful when planted between lines of the hardy neat-growing Sediuus, Seniper- 
vivums, &c. In the middle and^ end ol May these hardy plants can be simply taken up and divided, 
Te-planted, and the space that has just been occupied with spring fiowers re-filled with ordinary summer 
bedding plants, and, as soon as the frost cuts these off, their places to be filled with winter and spring 
plants again. Thus beds never need look dull and dreary.
