A stately-growing plant, with dark green foliage and flowers of all intermediate shades between yellow 

 and crimson; effective for c(>nte;s of beds: hardy and permanent, and not so generally planted as they should 

 he. Thcii- flowers ar(> jjroduced (luitc early in spring and are \-ery ornamental and decorative in the center 

 of a b(>d of other huUious ])lants. The old. dull red variety, while hand.some, does not give anything like the 

 efi'ect tliat ihv newer soils do. The double varieties are especially conspictious and desirable in every respect. 

 They are all the better tor being planted in good rich, well-drained soil; the flowers will be larger and of finer 

 coloring, as well as more endtuing.
