AMARANTHUS 
These plants are strong growing and highly ornamental. A. 
salicifolius, A. Henderi and Princess of Wales form splendid pot- 
plants, and are also very effective for centers of beds and backgrounds 
of borders. A. melancholicus ruber is a very excellent bedding plant, 
contrasting well with Golden Feather, Cineraria maritima, etc. 
Sow the seed in a hotbed in April, and set out the latter part of May.

abundance of their blooms ought to render them general favorites. 
Many of the varieties are extremely beautiful. Hardy perennials.
