TYPES OF SEW FUESCH EYER-ELOOMIUG CANUAS. 



ARE likely the present season to be the most popular of all bed- 

 ding plants. No plant is more easy of culture — growing and 

 flowering in almost any soil or situation from the time of plant- 

 ing out in May or June until cut down by frost in late fall. If desired, 

 they may be lifted and put in large pots or boxes, and kept in 

 bloom during the entire winter in green-house or window garden, for 

 they are never out of bloom when kept growing. For beds on lawns, 

 or in front of shrubbery, nothing is so desirable, as their glowing 

 colors of crimson, yellow, scarlet and orange caD be seen at a great 

 distance. Their average height is from 3 to 5 feet. We had a bed of 

 3,000 plants on our grounds at Jersey City the past season, which was- 

 admired by thousands. When not wanted for flowering in winter, 

 they should be lifted after they are cut down by frost in fall, and 

 stored away in a cellar, just like dahlias or potatoes, when they can 

 be divided and planted again in May or June. (See cut.)
