 pensable for the lawn or shrubbery border. It is of 

 the easiest culture, succeeding well in any situa- 

 tion. The varieties we name are the best for gen- 

 eral purposes. All are thrifty growers and most 

 profuse bloomers, each in its turn furnishing a 

 succession of flowers all through the summer.

 dwarf compact bush two or three feet high, 

 crowned with a mass of red flower heads. Each

 sembles the well-known variety Thunbergii.
