 flowering abundantly and continuously with little care, and should be sown during 

 the spring in good porous loam. They will not germinate well in any compost con- 

 taining peat or leaf mould. To develop the colors to the highest degree, grow in heavy 

 soil, and at a temperature as near 60 degrees as possible. (See cut.)
