The most important of these to the florist is the asters. Truftaut's paeony flowered and the Comet sell the best with us.

The season will then be far enough advanced to place the flats in a cold frame or mild hotbed where they thrivemuch betterthanin the greenhouse. A common plant used largely in veranda boxes and vases is the nasturtium.
