 ^ure four to five inches across: the colors are varied and beautiful ; the plants which 

 grow from four to si^ feet high, are a perfect mass of feathery, fern like foliage, and 

 studded with their mammoth flowers, long after most other plants have succumbed to 

 frost, they indeed present the most beautiful sight imaginable.
