SWEET WILLIAM. 
The best varieties of Sweet 
William arc of exceedingly 
beautiful colors, very large, 
and almost perfect in form, 
with trusses of great size. 
Treatment as for Carnation. 
The plants are perfectly hardy, 
and may be increased by divi¬ 
sion of the roots. There are 
very good double varieties. It 
is well to raise new plants every few years from seed, 
for old plants become debilitated and unsightly.

VALERIANA. 
The Valerian is a beautiful 
border plant. The improved 
or garden varieties are beau¬ 
tiful, bearing large corymbs 
of small flowers, scarlet, white 
and red, the plant from two 
to three feet in height. The 
V alerian will bear shade and 
moisture. We found it wild 
throughout Europe, and no¬ 
where more beautiful than on 
the chalk hills of England.

WALLFLOWER. 
By growing Wallflower plants in 
the ground and transplanting to pots 
in the autumn, or better, by placing 
plants in pots when taken from the 
seed-bed, and sinking the pots to 
the rim in earth, good plants will be 
secured for winter flowering in the 
house. Give a cool room and plenty 
of water. By placing the pots in a 
pit or cold cellar, with a little light, 
plants will live during the winter. 
Where winters arc not very severe the Wallflower must 
make a most desirable plant, giving plenty of early 
spring flowers.

MISCELLANEOUS. 
SEEDS OF HARDY CLIMBERS. 
There are few plants of more value to the gardener 
than the Hardy or Perennial Climbers. Once planted 
they remain, and get larger and better every season. 
The Virginia Creeper, a native of our woods and waste

places, is known and prized almost all over the world. 
These plants arc mostly obtained by purchasing roots, 
and this is the better way, where they can be readily 
obtained, because coming much sooner to perfection. 
1'here are many, however, who cannot get plants very 
well, and must be content with seeds or nothing, and 
others who wish to grow a good many plants, so we 
always keep seeds of the most popular kinds for sale, as 
There are a few Bulbs which do not come to perfec¬ 
tion very rapidly from seed, and therefore amateurs 
have seldom patience to wait for this slow process, but 
obtain plants or bulbs that will flower the first season 
they are put out. A few, however, derive pleasure in 
watching the development from the tiny seed to the per¬ 
fect plant. For the benefit of such we always keep a 
stock of,tl]cse seeds, a few of which wc will mention.

the autumn or very early in the spring, in drills, and 
keep the soil mellow and free from weeds. The
