—growing and flowering in almost any soil or situation from the time of planting 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 or lawns, or in front of shrubbery, nothing is so desirable, as their glowing colors of crimson, yellow, 
scarlet and orange can ke seen at a great distance. Their average hcight is from 8 to 5 feet. Our planting of 
these grand plants on our grounds at Jersey

potatoes, when they can be divided and 
planted again in May or June. (See cut.)
