The large, showy flowers of this genus have been greatly improved during recent years, both in size 

 and brilliancy. In lines or groups their eft'tct is simply 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 trans- 

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

 mutt be lifted with a good ball of earth adhering to the roots, and shade and water well until estab- 

 lished. H.A.
