plants, of easy culture, which should occupy a place in every garden ; for several months their beautiful 
star-shaped flowers are freely produced, and continue long in good condition. Some varieties are 
beautiful in lines and masses in pattern gardens, while all are valuable for shrubbery and flower 
border, also for naturalization in wild gardens ; a collection, well assorted, will give a succession 
of flowers from May till late in November. As a cut flower it is one of the most elegant in vases.
