They produce thousands of beautiful 
flowers in pure white, pink and crimson 
shades, furnishing an abundance of cut 
blooms for autumn decoration when other 
flowers are scarce. Should be sown in 
spring, in the open ground, when danger 
of frost ‘s past, or the seed may be started 
under cover and afterwards transplanted. 
Plant about 18 inches apart in rows or in 
masses in beds. When the plants are 
about a foot high the tops should be 
pinched out to induce a bushy growth. %
