VISCARIA. 



Very free-blooming annuals, closely allied to the Lychnis; they form com- 

 pact plants about a foot high, and are covered from early summer till fall with 

 their bright flowers, shaped somewhat like a single Pink, borne on long, slender 

 stems; it is best to sow them where they are to bloom, thinning out to prevent 

 overcrowding.

flowers for cutting.

VlSCARIA. 



Water Lily Seeds. 



Hardy Nymphseas may be sown 

 either in fall or spring in the shal- 

 low places on the margin of natural 

 ponds, where, if conditions are favor- 

 able, they will germinate and soon 

 become established. 



Nelumbiums should have a small 

 hole cut through the shell of each 

 seed with a sharp knife. 



Tender Nymphaeas may be sown 

 in spring in pots or pans, using any 

 good potting soil, cover the seeds with 

 one-fourth inch of sand, give a thor- 

 ough watering, and allow to drain for 

 an hour, then submerge in water as 

 near 70° as possible. Two inches of water 

 over the soil is sufficient. As soon as the 

 seedlings have made two leaves, put them 

 singly into small pots, and when well rooted 

 repot into four- or five-inch pots, from which 

 size they may be planted into their flowering 

 quarters during May and June. PER pkt.
