 seed comes up very readily, and the little plants throw up tiny 

 flower stalks when only a few weeks old. These, however, 

 should be pinched off, and the plants kept growing until October, 

 when the flowers may be allowed to develop, and from then on 

 until late in spring they produce their sprays of beautiful rosy lilac 

 flowers in seemingly never-ending profusion. (See cut.) 25 



3822 Floribunda. Of the saine general character as Obconica, dififer- 



ing only in color of the flower, which is a lovely shade of yellow. 25

 protection they will stand the winter, but do better if protected by a cold frame.
