It may appear extravagant to place so many 
single plants in pots at an uncertainty, but at 
any rate you no doubt will get a great many 
fine coloured self and beautifully variegated 
flowers, and by being in single pots they will 
assist to set oft' the stage, or if you are inclined 
to dispose of them they will fetch 128. 15s. to 
18 s. per dozen to dealers in flowers, which 
will amply repay you for your extra expense 
and trouble. When your seedling plants shew* 
flower, you must carefully and attentively look 
them over to distinguish those that merit your 
care from those that deserve it not; but be 
not too^hasty in your detennination ; if a flower 
has every good property but that of colour, do 
not throw it away, for when it blooms again 
the next year its colours may improve, espe- 
cially if it shews its first bloom towards the 
autumn, as Auriculas at that season never 
bloom well. You may with safety put away 
all your pin-eyed flowers, as there is no chance 
of their improving ; but they will do well for 
flower borders, and will there make a shew, 
and serve to cut for nosegays.
