 brilliant colors, ranging through many beautiful shades of 

 red, pink, white, variegated, etc.; they are of perfect form 

 and large size. Those sown in spring commence flowering in 

 early suminer, and continue to bloom in lavi.sh profusion 

 iintil checked by frost. They can be potted and taken in the 

 liouse and will flower abundantly through()ut the winter, 

 though if intended specially for winter flowering, it will be 

 better to sow later in the season. The plants are compact 

 and robust in habit, supporting themselves w^ithout the use 

 of unsightlv stakes. (See cut.) Pkt., lOc.; ."i pkts., 2nc.
