NEMOPHILA, 
The Nemopliilas are hardy 
annuals. They are of spread¬ 
ing habit, their numerous weak 
branches resting on the ground 
and throwing their bright flow¬ 
ers on stems about six inches 
long; should be planted in rath¬ 
er a cool place. Seed sown in 
autumn will flower early in the 
spring.

PANSY. 
Pansy seed if sown in autumn will flower the follow¬ 
ing spring. If sown in the spring it is advisable to sow 
very early and in order to have vigorous plants, they 
should not be allowed to flower until August.— 
Soil cannot be too rich, and plants always do better if 
partially shaded from the sun. Young plants produce 
the largest flowers. The following varieties are of fin¬ 
est quality and were imported from the most reliable 
Florist in Europe, and I guarantee perfect satisfaction 
to all who try them.
