D. M, Ferry & Go's Descriptive Catalogue. 



A very showy plant, with large, double flowers, which, 

 when fully expanded, form hemispherical heads, become 

 densely imbricated, and might easily be mistaken for 

 dwarf dahlias. The colors run through all the shades 

 of carmine, lilac, scarlet, purple, crimson, yellow, to 

 pure white. If any single blossoms appear, they should 

 be at once pulled up. Sow the seed early in spring, in 

 open ground, and transplant to one and a half feet apart, 

 in good, rich soil. Half-hardy annual ; one and a half 

 feet high. 



By careful selection and several years cultivation^ 

 the EiLropemi florists have obtained the following 

 distinct varieties of this valuable plaiit. The seeds 

 7ve offer can be entirely relied ufo?t to reproduce the
