THESE old garden favorites are always 
welcome. Of easiest culture they can 
be depended upon to give a bountiful yield 
of bloom. There is the greatest diversity of col- 
ors and form among the varieties now offered. 
The plants are extremely hardy and seldom fail to 
live when transplanted. After having grown for 
three or four years in a place they are better for a 
dividing up and transplanting.
