Pansies. 
March and April are the best months for planting out Pansies. The ground should have been 
well manured the previous year, and ridged in the beginning of the Winter, so as to get into a rich 
but sweet and well-aired condition. On carelessly or hastily-prepared ground. Pansies are often 
disappointing. As soon as they have become established in their Summer quarters, a dressing of 
eqtial parts of soot and salt will be found of considerable service.

Pentstemons. 
Few plants for freedom of bloom equal these, flowering freely from June to October, and possess- 
ing the richest and most delicate hues. The effect of the beautiful slender spikes amongst low-grow- 
ing shrubs is very good, and if a number of varieties contrasting well in colour are gro\vn in a mass, 
they are equal to anv bedding display in beauty and interest. Our collection has been carefully 
selected from all the iirst-class varieties.
