SWEET-SCENTED FLOWERS.

For the garden, blossoms that are grown with a view to cutting should not b»» judged exclusively from the point of beauty alone; there is the consideration of fragrance which mu-t also count. Wo think of many permanent favourites, but our thoughts now tend to those things that may be raised from se«xl that make delightful the borders by reason of their rich fragrance. \\ e must give a passing thought to mignonette, to sweet rockets, and ton-ueek -locks, ami Sweet Sultans, ami the night-scented stock, Mathiola bieornis. If we are thinking of planting other things to remain, let. us not forget a -mlns ami pink- plants that are always lavish with their blossoms. Ami in company with other flowers that scent the air. we shall assuredly sow seed now in the heat of Nirotianas. Some people enjoy the garden in the evening hour after the duties of the day are ended* seated in some corner with book and pipe. It is then when unbidden the dreamy fragrance of the plants mentioned as thev open their blossoms is appnxdated. What is more delightful than a bed of heliotropes? FLOW ER DALE.
