Excerpt from Catalogue No. 2: Catalogue of Rare and Beautiful Flower Seeds, Garden Seeds, &C. For the Spring of 1880 Flowering plants are from various parts of the world - temperate and tropi cal - and their habits are as various. Some are found on mountains, others in rich moist valleys; and again on arid plains; it follows that their treatment must be very dissimilar, and that it is not in the province of a catalogue to give any lengthened cultural directions. We will only offer a few general remarks on seed sowing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.
