This is one of the most beautiful and showy of garden 
plants. In the South it can be treated as a hardy biennial 
but in the colder climates, it may die out in the winter. 
Sow the seed very early in the spring indoors and trans¬ 
plant after heavy frosts are over. Or sow seed in the 
summer for next spring’s blooms. The single flowers are 
of much neater appearance than the doubles.
