Flame Flower, or

 only used in a limited way in the mi.xed

 the early, free and contiinious blooming 

 qualities of this variety have made it one 

 of the great bedding plants, and when we 

 consider that there are few plants which 

 are suitable for massing under our severe 



climatic conditions, it is little wonder that such an excellent subject 

 should at once become pr)pular. All the varieties offered are worthy 

 of cultiv.ition ; they are hardy if given protection, but the most satis- 

 factory method of wintering is to bury the roots in sand in a cool 

 cellar!
