summer. Both the single and double varieties are very desirable for bedding and borders. The flowers 
are remarkable for their large size, delicacy of tissue and wide range of bright dazzling colors. 
As early in spring as ground can be worked sow the seed, which is quite small, where the flowers 
‘ are to bloom as the annual varieties do not bear transplanting. Pulverized soil, preferably light sandy 
loam, should be used. Make rows fifteen inches apart and cover seed one-fourth inch deep. When two inches high, thin from 
six inches to one foot. ‘To insure continuous bloom during a long season the flowers should be cut regularly and no seed 
pods allowed to form.
