 Mixed. Take rank as 

 bedding plants with 

 Geraniums and Col-

 well in full sunlight,

 Furthermore, they 

 are as easily raised 

 from seed as the or- 

 dinary annuals, and 

 can be started in 

 _ early Spring in a hot- 

 bed or window, and have nice plants 

 ready to set out in May, thus saving 

 all the room usually given to the 

 carrying over of bedding plants. They 

 are of steady growth, growing about 

 1 foot high and forming dense bushes, 

 which from May until frost are com- 

 pletely hidden with flowers. As pot 

 plants for Winter flowering they are 

 superb, remaining a sheet of bloom 

 throughout the entire year.

 ble as any of the named sorts propa- 

 gated by divisions of the roots and 

 sold at a high price. Splendid plants 

 for early Spring and Summer flower-
