 hardy and are much in demand for cutting.

 forced. It succeeds best planted in rather heavy soil, in partial shade, 

 and where it will not suffer for lack of moisture. 20 cts. each; SI. 75 per 

 doz.; SI 2.00 per 100.

 beautiful artistic blossom and easily forced. 20 cts. each; S2.00 per doz.;
