REMARKS ON THE CULTIVATION OF FLOWERvS. Tlie soil best adapted to most flowers is light, rich loam, containing enough sand to make it porous. If there is some clay with it the colors will be brighter. Make the surface as smooth and fine as possible, sow seed in rows, covering each sort of seed iu proportion to its size (a good general rule being to cover twice the diameter of the seed) and press the soil firmly down over it. Do nut plant any seeds ivhen the ground is lOet. Many varieties shoidd be sown earh' in sliallow boxes in the house, in soil consisting of equal parts of fine sand and rice mellow loam, well mixed together and sifted, to remove all gravel and lumps. Sow as before directed. Covering the box with glass helps to retain the moisture and keep the temperature even. Be careful not to keep them too wet, and as soon as they are large enough to handle transplant into boxes, from one to two inches apart, where they are to remain until time to transplant to permanent beds.
