 and has a bluish tinge or bloom, delicate and very 

 attractive.

 plants are wanted to bloom as they do not bear trans- 

 planting well. Use well pulverized soil, make the rows

 obtained by thinly sowing broadcast and lightly raking 

 in the seed. Hardy annual, low spreading; about one to 

 one and one-half feet high.
