PERNNNIAL NARIETIES. 
The perennial Del¬ 
phiniums are valua¬ 
ble plants, the foliage 
clean and pretty, habit 
strong and good, the 
llowering branches 
often four feet in 
height, the spikes of 
flowers six inches or 
more in length. They 
are propagated by di¬ 
vision of roots and 
from seed. Sow seed in 
the spring, and strong 
plants will be produced 
by autumn that will 
flower the next spring.

DIGITALIS (Foxglove). 
The Digitalis is quite a stately plant, when 
well grown, with flower 
steins at least three feet 
in height. The racemes of 
flowers, as shown in the 
engraving, are often two 
feet in length, containing 
scores of the prettily spot¬ 
ted, thimble-shat»ed flow¬ 
ers. Perfectly hardy, and 
seed may be town in the 
spring in the garden, and 
transplanted as desired. 
In the autumn large plants 
can be divided, and thus 
plants may be increased in¬ 
definitely, but it is well to 
secure a few fresh plants 
from seed occasionally, as 
in this way new varieties 
are obtained. Biennial.

DOUBLE DAISY. 
“ The Daisies arc rose scented, and the 
rose herself has got perfume which on 
earth is not."— Keats. 
Sow seed very early. The flowers 
are abundant in early spring, and 
may be continued later by the use of 
water. Plants can be removed safely 
even when in flower. The plants should 
be about six inches apart when set, and 
in a cool border. 
5 ers, two inches or more in diameter, are yellow, orange and white, and 
are produced in great profusion all summer. Plants of easy culture. 
Seeds can be sown where the plants are to bloom. Annual.
