CESTRCJI PARQUI. (Night-blooming Jessamine.) An interesting tender shrub of easy cultivation, with small greenish-white flowers of delightful fragrance, which is dispensed during the night only. 15 cts. each; $ per doz. The young plants can be grown in a cool greenhouse, hotbed or cold frame where the temperature can be maintained at 50 degrees at night, with plenty of fresh air during the day. The little plants should be shifted along as required, and never allowed to get pot-bound. As soon as all danger from hard frost is ov'er, plant in the garden 12 inches each way, and keep well cultivated until they begin to bloom, when a light mulch of strawy manure will be beneficial to retain moisture in the soil, and heip nourish the plants. Plants so treated should begin to flower in ]ulv, and continue to produce an abundance of flowers until killed by frost. For winter-flowering, the same cultural notes apply, with the exception that they can be planted somewhat closer in the garden, and flower shoots kept pinched back until about the middle of August, when they should be planted on benches in the greenhouse for the season's crop of flowers. Any good fresh soil, moderately enriched, will grow them. Plant 9 to 12 inches apart, according to the size of the plants. The same night temperature that is required for the little plants before planting out will make good flowers, with 15 hi :!(i degrees higher and plenty of fresh air during bright days. Water only sufficiently to keep plants from wilting. Aristocrat. Beautiful, large, perfect cerise pink. Beacon. An early ami continuous-flowering bright scarlet Dorothy.
