EXPLANATION OF THE FLOWER SEED CATALOGUE. We have endeavored to make our flower seed department as complete in detail and easy of reference as possible, and instead of the usual description, have adopted a system of classification in columns, using simple abbrevia- tions to denote the varying characteristics of the varieties in regard to color,time of flowering, hardiness, etc. The first column gives the number, by which the different varieties maybe ordered, without writing out the whole name. The second column gives the botanical name, in Ro- man characters, and the following additional information : The asterisk (*) designates ornamental- leaved plants; these plants are grown for their foliage. The dash f—) designates the repetition of the name above it as applied to the variety to which the dash is prefixed. in vars. designates in varieties, or in mixed colors. fl. pi. designates flore pleno, or double flowered. The third column gives in figures the comparative time of flowering. As it is impossible in our varied extent of climate to state the exact month any plant may flower in, we have adopted the simple plan of classing the different varie- ties into early, intermediate and late flowering sorts. Thus : 1 designates early—blooming in spring and early summer. 2 " intermediate—blooming in midsummer. 3 " late—blooming in late summer and autumn. The fourth column gives the duration or charac- ter, and HARDINESS. A represents Annual—lasting but one year, and producing flowers and seed the same season. B represents Biennial—lasting two years, and generally blooming during the second season. P " Peremiial
