 The flowers are large, very numerous, produced on long stems 

 and excellent for cutting, and of the most gorgeous coloring.

 marked with rings of brilliant scarlet crimson, orange and ver- 

 milion, and often a combination of all these colors in one 

 flower. It delights in a rather poor, light soil, and blooms in 

 the greatest profusion from June to November.
