Annuals arc plants which, raised from seed, perfect the flowers, ripen their seed and perish the same season. There arc some, such as Verbena, Eschscholtzia and others, cultivated as annuals, that are only such in a northern climate, being in their own congenial region bien- nials and perennials. Biennials arc those which grow the first season, flower the next, and then die. They may sometimes be induced to flower for two or three successive seasons, by preventing them from going to seed. Perennials arc those which live and continue to blossom several j'cars. If planted very early in borders, 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. CULTURE. Hardy Annuals, or most of them, may be sown out of doors in April or May, in the Middle and Eastern States, and some of the hardiest the last]wcck in March, if the ground is in a condition to work, but the time for sowing seeds varies with the latitude. It is well to start some varitics in pots or pans in the house, and transplant them when the weather permits, as a succession of bloom is thus obtained; those started out of doors coming on later. Any shallow pot or pan will do for starting seed, provided there is good drainage at the bottom, so that superfluous water can escape. Free access of air is very important, and this is inter- fered with by an excess of water in t
