Flower M SWHKT ALVSSL'M. ANY i\ Texas have an idea that flowers cannot be raised success- fully from seed here, and so never make the attempt. This impression is often due to failures caused by the gardener's not knowing how, when and where to plant, and, more especially, what to plant. The plants recom- mended most highly in Northern catalogues as growing well from seeds are often just the ones that fail first here, because the season, temperature, etc., are so entirely different. If, instead of trying to grow Asters, Gloxinias, Cyclamen, etc., we would devote our time to Phloxes, Vincas, Nasturtiums, Dianthus/Calliopsis, Snapdragon, Mignonette, Candytuft, Alyssum, Hollyhocks, Petunias, Verbenas, Portulaca, Zinnia, etc., there would be less diappointment and many more flowers. We import ouk seeds from the ijest growers in Europe,and feel perfectly safe in recommending them as pure, fresh and reliable. The seed should be sown much earlier here than is usually recommended, because our season begins much earlier here than in the North. February, March and April are the months in which to sow nearly all flower seeds. It is a good plan to first sow seeds in shallow boxes of any good, light soil—sandy loam is the best—and keep them in a warm, sunny part of the room till the young plants are large enough to be transplanted to the open ground. Annuals are plants that blossom, mature their seed within a year after the seed is sown, and then perish. Biennials flower the second and sometimes the third year after the seed is sown, and then perish. Perennials live and bloom for many years after the seed is sown.
