ranged in the second order of the nineteenth 
class, f syngemsia snperflua). The grand 
variety of the flowers of this plant add 
much brilliancy to our pleasure grounds; 
therefore to such persons as may not be 
acquainted with the management of the 
roots, &c., I will lay down the manner in 
which I have been successful, and have 
had the best early show of fine flowers. — 
When the plant is to be raised from seed, 
it must be sown in March, in pots of fine 
vegetable mould ; the pots are then to be 
set in a moderate hot-bed, watered, and 
treated the same as Balsams, &c. Divide 
the seedlings when about tw o inches grown, 
into small pots, putting one seedling into 
each ; then return them into the hot-bed 
until they are sufficiently strong, and the 
weather mild and settled for transplanting 
them into the open ground. They require 
a rich, open, but sheltered situation. Cover 
the plants with small bell or hand-glasses, 
until they are sufficiently rooted, observing 
to water them regularly if the weather 
should prove dry.— If the plants are strong 
enough, plant them out tow ards the latter 
end ot May. — They will flower in Septem- 
ber and October the same season. 
The second week in April (should the 
weather prove favorable) is the best time
