These require a good sandy soil, enriched with good fertilizers and well pulverized, 
loose and moderately moist. Sow the seed in usual way in boxes or warm seed bed, 
covering lightly, and keep in total darkness till the plant begins to show above 
ground, when gradually expose to the light. By puisning this plan, uniform tem- 
perature and moisture is secured, and all seeds po.ssessing life will be sure to grow. 
When the plants have grown to say two inches in height, they are ready to trans- 
plant. Give plenty of room, according to habit of growth of the plant. Crowding 
destroys the vigor and beauty of the flower.
