This exceedingly beau- 

 tiful genus comprise-; an 

 almost endless number 

 of varieties, all mure or 

 less showy in the flower 

 garden in the autumn, 

 when most other flowers 

 have faded. They are 

 all of easy cultivation, 

 growing freely in almost 

 any soil, from seed sown 

 in spring. The seed can 

 be sown in shallow pans, 

 any time from March to 

 •■July, and the seedlings 

 transplanted to small 

 . pots. As soon as they 



'-'^'^''^- are strong enough (but 



not until danger of frost is over) plant out, one foot 

 apart. These plants will make tubers which should be 

 taken up in the fall and kept through the winter in a 

 dry place, away from frost, and planted out in the 

 spring, when they will blossom the following autumn. 

 New varieties are constantly being produced from seed, 

 some of them of exquisite beauty.
