NEW YORK, FEBRUARY, 1877. 
By Henry T. Williams, 
answer to occasional inquiries, we name the following 
sweet scented flowers, to which some of our readers 
may add others : Sweet Violet, Hyacinth, Heliotrope, 
Pinks, sweet scented Candytuft, Woodbine, Sweet 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN SICK ROOMS. 
Chrysanthemums may be introduced into sickrooms, 
and by their beautiful colors, please many an invalid. If 
they are not handled much they give out little or no 
good in a room for three weeks or a month. One of 
the best and most successful growers of Chrysanthe¬ 
mums was in the habit of cutting the flowers days or 
even weeks before the show or exhibition, and feeding 
Briar, Cabbage Rose, Tea Roses, White Lily, Sweet 
Alyssum, Mignonette, Sweet Pea, Carnations, Sweet 
William, and several sweet-scented perpetual roses. 
Here are enough to fill a room or garden with per¬ 
fumes rivalling the ‘ odors from the spicy shores of 
Araby the blest,’ if well managed and cultivated.” ■
