ave believe that nature never produces dou
BILE flowers. They considered among boianists
as beautiful monsters They are generally, IN
deed we say always, the production OF sklliul
management of the cultivatOr. The Dutch gar
deners have been very successful in this kind OF
production. The principle Of doing it is to keep
the plant growing rather stntedy on poor soil.
until all the organs Of Towering are beginning
TO show themselves, then pushing it by liberal
watering with liquid manures. THIS operation
is founded upon the physiological habits of plants.
You have undoubtedly observed that the first
exertion of the plant is TO get its growth, then it
stops this part of the operation and makes flow
ers, then this operation stops and the whole
energy is bent on maturing and perfecting the
seed. This seems to be the great end and object
of its life, and this done, it ceases any further
action for the current season at least.
