BIENNIALS

Are such as are of two years' duration. Being sown this year they

flower, seed, or fruit next year, and soon after decay. The seeds should

be sown about the end of this or beginning of next month, either in the

spot where they are intended to remain, or in a compartment by

themselves, regularly marked, and transplanted when convenient. When

they appear above ground, thin them out distinctly, that when they are

to be removed, a little earth may adhere to them; and if put where they

are to stand, leave only three plants.
