==Nemesia==.—­For the earliest display of this beautiful annual the first sowing should be made in pots under glass during this month.  In the open border seed may be sown in both May and June.  Occasionally a little difficulty is experienced in raising plants under artificial conditions, but those who sow in beds or borders from the same packet of seed during the months named, will find that the culture is quite easy.

==Pentstemon==.—­The treatment recommended for the perennial section of Lobelias will exactly suit this flower.

==Phlox Drummondii==.—­There is still time to sow.  Established seedlings should be gradually hardened by free access of air, until they are ready for the open ground.

==Phlox, Perennial==, may be raised from seed sown in shallow boxes in the early part of this month, and placed in moderate heat.  Transplant the seedlings when ready, gradually harden, and plant out in rich soil one foot apart, or put them into vacant places in the shrubbery.  Aid with water if necessary.

==Poppy==.—­The annual varieties do not well bear transplanting, especially from light soils, and therefore, as a rule, it is advisable to sow where the plants are intended to bloom.  They make conspicuous lines and clumps among shrubs; and this is especially the case with the huge flowers of the double class.  Sow in March and April, and commence thinning the seedlings while they are small.  They should ultimately be left about one foot apart.  The perennial Poppies may also be flowered as annuals if sown in this month and transferred to open quarters when large enough.

==Schizanthus==.—­Elegant half-hardy annuals, which can be grown as specimens for the conservatory, or in quantity for open borders.  Sow in gentle heat, and pot on the seedlings.

==Solanum==.—­For a succession of the varieties which are grown for their berries, sow again in heat, and make a sowing of the ornamental-foliaged kinds for sub-tropical gardening.  The latter are rather more tender, and need a somewhat higher temperature than the former.  They must all have liberal culture to bring out their fine qualities.

==Statice==.—­The hardy annual varieties of Sea Lavender may be sown during March or April, and the best results are obtained by starting the seed in pans and planting out when the seedlings are far enough advanced in size.  Seed of the hardy perennial kinds should be sown from April to July on light soil, and transplanted later on to flowering quarters.

==Stock, Ten-week.==—­The increasing favour shown for Annual Stocks is in part no doubt attributable to the growing appreciation manifested for all kinds of flowers.  But it is traceable in a still greater measure to the augmented purity, brilliance, and variety in colour of modern Ten-week Stocks, as well as to the enhanced reliability of seed in producing double flowers.  We need say nothing of its perfume, for this is a quality which the most unobservant can scarcely fail to notice.
