These stately species of plants are highly ornamental in flower-gardens, producing a rich 

 and Oriental effect by their large, broad, massive foliage, and rich crimson and scarlet flow- 

 ers. Though perennial, if sown early, they will make lu-xuriant growth, and bloom the first 

 season. In late autumn, they should be carefully potted, and allowed to mature their bloom 

 in the greenhouse or parlor, and afterwards preserved in a cool, dry cellar. In spring, again 

 start them into growth, and replant them in the open air last of May or first of June. Before 

 sowing, soak the seed in water at 125° for about twelve hours.
