flower. Dr, Hill considered the disadvantage of 
transplanting it, and says, that ‘ Where the seed 
makes its first shoot the plant should remain, for expe- 
rience shows this only can give it the due strength.’ 
In the beginning of August, dig up a border in a 
part of tbe garden, open to the morning sun, but 
sheltered from the full blaze of noon. Add a good 
portion of fresh earth from under the turf of a rich 
pasture. Break this very well together, rake the 
surface level, and scatter on the seeds. Sift over 
them a quarter of an inch of the same mould; and in 
spring, the young plants mil appear. Weed and 
water them as occasion may require. 
In the beginning of August, take out the weakest 
plants, so as to leave those in the bed abotit eight 
inches apart. 
In the next spring some of them will flower, and 
in the next season, all the remainder. In the first 
bloom will be seen much beauty, but it will be two 
years more before they arrive at perfection. Among 
them will be fomid many more varieties than have 
been described. There will be large single flowers, 
valuable for their colour and expansion, semidouble 
for seed ; and tbe most perfect double ones : and these 
in all the kinds of colour, from white through all the 
shade's of blue ; from pearl coloiu* to the deep azure 
of a summer sky ; and from the same white, through 
all the degrees of red ; from the peach bloom to 
crimson, and to purple. The red and blue will be 
mixed in some, and in these he will trace the purple 
from that of the violet to the palest hesperis. 
White mil be the least common colour, and indeed 
a perfect white, imtinctimed, will be rare.
