Virginia Stock. — A most useful annual. Seed should 
be sown about § in. deep, and plants thinned out so as 
to give the others room to develop. It makes a most 
effective border. Height, from 6 to 12 in. 
All our annual flowers will succeed fairly well in almost 
any ordinary soil. Some, in fact, are more satisfactory 
on poor soil, producing less growth, but considerably 
more flowers. Some, of course, succeed better on a 
good, rich soil. There are many more annuals than 
those mentioned here, but the above is a general selec- 
tion, with the method of cultivation of each. This should 
be a fair guide to the cultivation of any of the other 
kinds of annuals it is desirable to grow. 
Besides the foregoing, we have the half-hardy annuals. 
That is to say, they are annuals, but not so hardy. 
They require to be sown in gentle heat, either in a 
cool greenhouse or in a frame on a gentle hotbed, 
earlier in the year than it is possible to sow them in the
