EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



in March or April are the two best seasons of the year to get the best success. Seeds 

 may be sown also and plants raised from seed but the colours of such plants will differ 

 from the parent, whereas cuttings will always produce like flowers. 



The flower is too well known to require any further remarks. At Ottawa several 

 hundred varieties have been under test for some years. There is a remarkable differ- 

 ence in the value of different varieties. Not more than ten per cent are suitable for 

 bedding purposes. Certain well known varieties have achieved reputation in this con- 

 nection and these will be found in one of the following lists. 



Frequently varieties which do not succeed outside in bede do exceptionally well in 

 the house, while varieties which do well in the beds outside are not the best for house 

 culture. A separate list is given of varieties for house culture.
