The old Sweet Sultan has long been a favorite garden annual of the easiest culture. 

 These new manunoth-llnwering varieties are grand improvements, producing blossoms 

 from '.i to 4 inclies across, of graceful, airy effect, and are most dellciously fragrant— the 

 colors of the flowers are infinitely varied from glistening white through shades of red, 

 from flesh-pink to crimson, and through blues from silvery liinc to royal purple, etc., and 

 all flowers are deliciously fragrant; for bouquets, vases, or as corsage flowers the airy 

 grace of the giant long-stemmed flowers renders them of exceptional value. If cut scarcely 

 opened they w ill 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, 

 liUKhy form, 3 to 4 feet high. (See cut.)
