Show or Laced Varieties. 
An indispensable class of Florists' Flowers of easy growth. Invaluable for decorating borders 
or cutting, commencing to flower early in June, and continuing to the end of July. They thrive 
well in good garden soil, enriched with a little rotten manure. To obtain perfect blooms it is 
necessary to shelter the plants under glass, as rain and wind quickly tarnish the flowers.
