 large beds or as a tall background screen or border. The plants are 

 tall and bushlike in form, the foliage finely cut and very dense. A 

 profusion of blooms appear late in summer and early in autumn. 

 Culture. Plant seed outdoors early in spring, covering lightly with 

 soil. A sunny situation is required. Thin the plants to 15 inches each 

 way. The soil should not be too rich, as this induces excessive plant 

 growth at the expense of the blossoms.

 freely until the plants are well started. Pot the plants when 3 inches 

 high. By autumn a small corm will have formed. This should be 

 planted in a larger pot, and kept indoors over winter. Blooms will
