This class is now very popular for bedding, naturalizing and espe- 

 cially so for cutting, bearing their large brilliant flowers on long 

 strong stems and lasting a long time when cut. They bloom from 

 the middle of May until after the beginning of June, according to 

 weather conditions, and come in very useful about Decoration Day.
