The seeds of all these plants may be readily obtained in the seed-shops, and they should all be sown in autumn, if they are to flower in spring; as if sown in spring they will not flower till late in the summer. "About an inch in thickness of very light soil should be laid on a hard surface of rock or gravel, in any obscure part of the garden, and in this the seeds should be sown the first week in September. In March or April, according to the season, when the flower-beds and borders have been dug over and prepared, the young seedlings should be taken up by spadesful and laid over the bed, filling up all the interstices between the patches with earth, so as to make the surface even." - (Ladies' Companion to the Flower-Garden.)
