O’Clock because its flowers open 
about that time of the evening and 
fade the next morning. By the

or Beauty of the Night. It grows 
two feet high, with bright foliage 
and fragrant flowers of desiiable 
colors. Set plants two feet apart.

a foot apart. Seed should be planted

taken up in the autumn, and pre- 
served through the winter for 
spring planting, in the same man- 
ner as Dahlias.
