For out-door decoration 
or house culture few plants 
are equal to this class. 
They commence flowering 
early and continue a mass 
of bloom throughout the 
whole season, until killed 
by frost; easily cultivated,

sunny situation. Of late 
years the single- striped, 
mottled and double varie- 
ties have been greatly im- 
proved.
