 long-stemmed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and most delieiously 

 fragrant. The colors are varied from glistening white through shades of red, from 

 flesh-pink to crimson and through blues from silvery-lilac to royal-purple, some of them 

 having centres of some distinct color, as violet with white centre, etc.; for bouquets, 

 vases, or as corsage flowers they are of exceptional value. If cut scarcely opened they 

 will last for ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering freely 

 in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. They are of strong, bushy 

 form, 2 to 3 feet high. (See cut.)
