For early flowering, sow thinly in March or April in good, rich compost, under a frame; prick out when seed- lings have two leaves, shade and water; plant out in the middle or end of May. For late flowering, sow the seed thinly, out of doors, on a soil nicely prepared in drills six inches apart, the first week in May. As soon as they are about an inch high, prick them out on a well-prepared bed, three or four inches apart; shade them from the sun until well rooted, which will be in three or four days; never let them become spindling, for if crowded when small they never do as well. Keep them stocky and vigorous. Before the plants begin to run up in the stem, plant them out where they are to stand for blooming, in well manured soil, being careful to remove them with as much mold attached to the roots as possible; let the rows be one foot apart, and the plants ten inches or a foot apart in the rows. If the weather is dry they must be watered until they take root; afterwards keep clean from weeds: stir between the plants, and about the first week in August top-dress with rotten manure from an old hot- bed, or water frequently with liquid manure. Give them plenty of water and tie them to neat stakes, as they advance in growth. Pratt, Kansas. We were well pleased with all your seeds. Had one of the best gardens I have had for years. Gust.
