baceous plants of stately branching growth and profuse 

 bloom for beds and backgrounds. They produce long 

 racemes of strikingly effective bell-shaped or saucer- 

 shaped flowers of rich color. Usually grown as a hardy 

 bieimial, but if seed is sown very early indoors it may be 

 treated as a tender annual. Sow seed outdoors early in 

 spring in rows about two feet apart covering with about 

 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 

 eighteen inches or two feet apart and given some pro- 

 tection in severe winter weather. Height of plants, from, 

 two to four feet.
