These may be kept through winter in a green-house or light cellar. Annuals make a fine display and may be kept up nearly the whole season. They are divided into three classes : Hardy, Halt-hardy and Tender. I lardy may be sown in autumn and very early in the spring ; half-hardy will not stand a hard frost and should not be planted until all danger from frost is passed; tender should be started in artificial heat. Biennials are those which grow the first season, flower the next and then die. They may sometimes be induced to flower for tAvo or three successive seasons, by preventing them from going to seed. Their general culture is the same as annuals and they are divided into the same classes. Perennials are those which live and continue to blossom several years. If planted ver\" early in boiders, or brought forward in windows or hot-beds, they will bloom the first season. Many of them are hardy enough to stand the coldest of our winters, dying down every season and coming up in the spring from the old roots. They should be taken up once in two or three years, the roots divided and reset. They are divided into the same classes as annuals. The half-hardy and tender should be started in heat the same as half-hardy and tender annuals, and should i-eceive the same treatment. Hardy Annuals, or most of them, may be sown out of doors in April and May in the Mi
