Those acquainted with only the old "Arte- misia" of old - fashioned gardens, could not recog- nize them in the beautiful hybrids, which we now offer of this wonderful class of plants, to which we have the pleasure of calling more particular attention. We say wonderful, for truly they are, Inim the great diversity of form and color, their adaptability to so man}' uses, and the fact that they bloom at a season of the year when all other flowers are scarce, or not to bo found at all, and lasting so long after being cut. They require so little care, and so few appliances for their pro- tection, that they should be in everyone's garden, house and greenhouse. Their cultivation is very simple- small plants can be planted at any time after the first of April, and from then till about the 20th of May! Ihey require two things, a rich soil and plenty of water and should be copiously watered during dry tames; in planting, give tbcra plenty of room, two feet apart at least; about the first week in June the shoots should be pinched lor nipped offi, in order to make the plants stocky, and should be again pinched, as needed, until the last of July, after which time they should be allowed to grow and form their buds- each plant should be kept tied to a stake to keep it from falling over and growing one-sided, or being broken by the wind. By the first of September the buds will have formed, and if large flowers are desira- ble, half of the buds should be taken off
