This perfectly hardy perennial is easily 



grown from seed and is not only valuable for the gar- 

 den but is highly recommended for florists. The spikes 



of brilliant crimson flowers extend high above the 



foliage and are admirably adapted for cut flowers and 



bouquets. The plants are about eighteen inches high, 



of bushy habit. The leaves are light green and slightly 



hairy. If started early indoors the plants will flower 



abundantly and continuously the first season, but as 



their flowering capacity increases with age, their full 



beauty is not developed until the second year
