No other bedding plant will give the same uniform good results in our varied and trying climate. They do well in all sections 
of the country and stand pre-eminently at the head of the list, succeeding in any sunny position in any kind of soil, but responding 
quickly to liberal treatment. For best results the beds should be spaded two feet deep and a generous amount of well-decayed 
manure of any kind thoroughly incorporated, and at all times supplying water freely. For best effect plant in large masses of one 
color, setting out the plants 2 feet apart. To find the number of plants required for any bed from 3 to 20 feet in diameter see 
planting table on page 117. All have green foliage unless otherwise specified. —
