 foliage, terminated by racemes of crimson or scarlet variously-lobed 

 flowers. Though perennial in habit, if sown early, and kept growing 

 until May, and then planted out, they will make luxuriant growth the

 warm cellar, or under the stage of a green-house, through the winter; 

 and the second season will attain their greatest perfection.
