 branching from the roots, v^ith very large, broad leaves, producing clusters of large flowers of varied and brilliant 

 colors from August until cut down by frost.

 file, eare being taken not to cut into the germ. Cover with one-half inch of fine soil. Keep the soil moist and the temperature 

 averaging 60° F. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost is over, preferably in very rich soil, giving each plant two feet of 

 room. Tender annual in the open ground, or tender perennial in the greenhouse.

growth and profuse bloom for beds and backgrounds. They produce long racemes of 



strikingly effective bell-shaped or saucer-shaped flow^ers of rich color. Leaves sessile, 



lanceolate. L^sually grown as a hardy biennial, but if seed is sown very early indoors it maybe treated as a tender annual. 



Sow seed outdoors early in spring in rows about two feet apart covering with abovit one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly 



pressed down. The plants succeed best in light, rich soil with good drainage and in the fall should be transplanted or thinned to
