These wonderful bedding plants give uniformly 

 good results in all sections of the country. They 

 succeed in any sunny position, in any kind of 

 soil, but will repay liberal treatment. For best 

 results spade the beds 2 feet deep, and In- 

 corporate In the soil a liberal amount of well- 

 decayed manure of any kind. Water well at all
