MISS ELLA V. BAINES, The Woman Florist, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



THE most popular, easy growing flower of the 

 garden, not "touchy" about soil or conditions, 

 but responding fine to good soil and location by 

 an increase in size and color of flowers. This grand 

 flower is so nearly hardy that they can be' planted 

 in March for early bloom and allowed to remain in 

 ground till matured in fall.
