One of the best bedding plants, being literally a sheet of 
bloom from early summer till frost. Unlike many bedding

trying climate. Easily raised from seed, which is usually 
started in a hotbed or window and transferred to the open 
ground in May. Can also be sown outdoors in May, A sow- 
ing in September will give plants to bloom all winter. (See cut.)
