height 

 Pkt. 



The large, showy flowers of this genus have been greatly improved during 

 Tecent years, both in size and brilliancy. In lines or groups their effect is sim- 

 ply grand, being one perfect blaze of color all summer. Sow in open ground in 

 the positions they are wanted to flower in. They do not bear transplanting 

 well, and where this is absolutely necessary, as in the case of the Perennial 

 varieties, they must be lifted -with a good ball of earth adhering to the roots, 

 and shade and water well until established.
