. Boston Thomsonian manual and lady's companion . ies inthat immense compilation. The monarch had spread his power to thelemotest parts of the known world.

Cut them off witha pair of scissors, leaving the stem about threeinches long; cover the end immediately withSpanish wax, and when the buds are a littleshrunk and wrinkled, wrap them up seperatelyin paper and place them in a dry box. Whenit is desired to have the flower to bloom, takethe buds over night, cut off the sealed end ofthe stem, and put the buds into water whereinhas been infused a little salt, and the next dayyou will have the pleasure of seeing the budsopen and expand themselves, and flowers dis-play their most lively colors, and breathe theiragreeable odor around.—[N.
