|IIESE are a splendid hardy class of plants. Some of them are lovely colours and perfectly 
distinct to any other flower, and for mixed borders or in shrubberies they are not equalled 
5(5^ by any other plant. Some of their blooms are almost a perfect circle. Tbeir roots can be 
divided in February, and are quite hardy. Plant them in good, deep, rich soil in an open situation. 
To get fine exhibition blooms strong cuttings must be taken and struck early in March. For cut 
blooms they are valuable, also very ornamental, and continue in bloom for a long time ; if cultivated 
in pots they are equally valuable for conservatory decoration, and only require nice yonng plants 
put into 7-inch pots in May, and, well attended to through the summer, like the Chrysanthemum, 
to make a grand display.
