ANNUAL, LARKSPURS. 



This is one of the best known of garden flowers, and in recent years a vast im- 

 provement has been effected, by careful selection in size and color of the blossoms 

 and the general habit of the plant. Seeds sown in the open ground before the 

 close of April will produce flowering plants by the beginning of July, and give a 

 continuous succession of flowers from then until frost, a recoid that is not sur- 

 passed by any other annual. They make handsome beds or lines, and their free, 

 graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when interspersed in the old- 

 fashioned flower or shrubbery border. They stand well when cut, and a vase of 

 one or mixed colors is indeed charming.
