 the most useful of 

 all the biennials 

 and perennials, 

 and for beauty 

 and variety can- 

 not be surpassed.

 richness of the 

 tints, combined 

 with the aromatic 

 fragrance of 

 many of the 

 species are valu- 

 able recommen- 

 dations for the 

 entire family.

 find two alike. Seeds saved from double flow- 

 ers will produce double ones 5
