Succeeds Best on Hot Dry Spots

ing little annual is unrivaled for bril¬ 
liancy among plants of low growth; 
hot sun and light sandy soil suit it best. 
Nothing is prettier for beds, edgings,

test seasons it flourishes amazingly, 
carpeting the ground with a mat of 
foliage that is almost hidden by an 
abundance of pretty flowers.

seed until weather is warm. It
