velous beauty, and 
bl oms in 4 or 5 weeks

of the most delicate and 
beautiful color, shining 
like satin. Seed can be 
planted at once in pots 
making most charming 
pot flowers, or it can lie 
sown in the garden in 
May. In either case it will bloom in about 4 weeks 
and’ make a most beautiful show. For only IO eta.
