These handsome plants are absolutely hardy everywhere, have no 
insect enemies, and increase in beauty from year to year. We are 
surprised that no more of these old garden favorites are grown. The 
finer and newer varieties should delight everyone, as the perfection of 
flower and variety of color have been carried to a high degree. They 
are well adapted for cutting, as they are rivals of the rose, and are in 
accord with the present taste and style in floral decorations.
