Seeds for the Greenhouse.
The names in this department will have a familiar
sound to all lovers of house-plants.    The Abutilon,
Cineraria,  Geranium,   Fuchsia,   etc.,  are associated
with our earliest recollections.    Most persons procure
plants  from  the greenhouses, and when but one or
I two of a kind are needed this is a good plan.   Some,
however, have greenhouses and desire many plants,
and others take pride and, pleasure in growing from
seed—in watching every day's growth, from the tiny
seed-leaf to the full developed plant in all its grand
display of beauty.   To all such we shall be happy to
furnish seed.    We do not wish to convey the idea
that the seeds  in this department must necessarily
be sown  in a greenhouse, as most of the varieties
will succeed as well in the dwelling house, if the
conditions congenial to  their  health  can   only  be
secured, which the greenhouse or conservatory fur-
ClNERARlA. nish; these are light, warmth, air and sunshine.    As
the seeds in this department are mostly delicate, it is best to make several sowings
at different times.    The most experienced gardeners always do this. Pkt. Cts.
