1 he seed should be sown in heal at end of winter to produce strong flowering plants in the summer, in pans of 
v ery fine soil. Prick off the seedlings into pans and pot off later. Care should be used when sowing, as the seed is very 
fine. We can also supply tubers ready to start into growth in early spring. {See page 262.)

early, and last all the season.
