Very interesting old-fashioned flowers, some varieties producino; 

 the large Cockscomb of rich scarlet, others the beautifully plumed 

 and richly colored varieties. The tall, plumed sorts should be planted 

 in groups. Sow where they are to bloom, but transplant into rich 

 soil about the time the combs begin to form, and the heads will be 

 much larger,

 much to its beauty. Should be planted in broad masses or along 

 borders, against evergreens or fences. Start the seed early in the 

 house or frame, transplanting to the open ground. If topped or 

 pinched back when half-grown, the plants will bloom earlier and be 

 in better sliape. Perpkt.

 sort ; flowers double the size, the petals being broad and over- 

 lapping, forming a perfectly round flower. Fine for cutting
