 also for ribbon lines and massing, very beauti- 

 ful little plants 5

 are of recent introduction and are especially de- 

 sirable for cut flowers, lasting much better than 

 the single sorts. To produce the best results they 

 should be grown in a light soil. About 80 per 

 cent of the seed sown will be double 8

A charming and profuse flowering plant, and one 

 of the most desirable of house blooming plants, and 

 will richly compensate for the little care they re- 

 quire. They are in almost constant bloom all winter,

 they will bloom nearly all summer. Care should be 

 taken in watering that no water fall on the buds 

 as it causes them to rot. Greenhouse perennial.

 duces its long stemmed flowers in the greatest abund- 

 ance. The disk is brown, the ray florets are yellow 

 with large velvety-brown spots at the base.
