 double flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter, or as large as Peonies. Some of 

 the flowers have broad, round, smooth-edged petals; others have lacinited 

 and fringed edges; but the climax of all is the wonderful variety of color- 

 ing, ranging from gorgeous crimson through innumerable shades to purest 

 white; many are also striped, blended and edged with other colors. They 

 are of the easiest possible culture; the seed only needs to be sown thinly 

 in May where the plants are to remain. (See illustration.)
