are worthless, but the double flowering sorts are very 
beautiful. Half-hardy perennials, usually requiring the 
protection of a cold-frame or conservatory through the 
winter : any good garden soil suits them.

REODANTHE-(Everlasting:). 
Of all the many varieties of everlastings, we think the 
Rhodanthe the finest and most beautiful. 1 he flowers 
are of various colors, pure silvery white with yellow 
disc, rosy crimson and bright purple, rose suffused with 
white, &c. For winter bouquets, the blossoms should be 
gathered before they are fully expanded, and if dried in 
the shade, they will retain their brilliancy for years. 
The leaves are heart shaped and lustrous, and the calyx 
long, scaly and shining. The seeds should be started in 
hot-bed, and the plants transplanted to a warm situa¬ 
tion, one foot apart. Tender annual ; one foot high.
