flowers last a long time after cutting, and are so sweet and beautiful they are always in great demand. 
THE CULTURE IS VERY SIMPLE—Plant the seed three or four inches deepin the most convenient place you 
happen to have, very early in the Spring—just as early as possible—February, March, April or May, according to season

brush. Keep the flowers picked off clean every day as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloom 
abundantly for many weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction.
