next Christmas is to SOW the seed now
There are number of different kinds
and they are only known by their bot

are the Rhodanthes, from Australia, but
they are better fitted for making up into
fine boquets, than for Christmas work.
The most useful for this are the He'll
chrysunls, as their flowers are large
and snowy and of variety of coIors-
white, rose, yellow, purple, and some
have brownish shades. The seeds can
