For the Spring of 1876 Hardy perennials. - The common and large-seeded kinds may he sown in the open borders any time in April, but the rare and more delicate Species will succeed with greater certainty if raised in a close frame, with or without bot tom heat; thus treated, nearly all will flower the first season if sown early and planted out the early part'of May. All those with very small seeds should be sown under glass. Amateurs will do well to bear in mind that though many Perennial seeds vegetate as quickly as those of Annuals, there are some others which usually remain dormant for weeks or even months; to this class belong the Cyclamens, Paeonies, Fraxinella, &c. Our native Perennials are best sown in autumn, or as soon as gathered, and they will then vegetate the following spring. As this is not always practicable, the plan of steeping the seeds before sowing, for twenty-four hours, may be adopted with great advantage in many cases. Half-hardy Perennials require the same treatment as hardy Perennials, differing only in their need of winter protection.
