large variety, grown principally for the big seeds they pro¬ 
duce, which are used as poultry-feed.

the best free-flowering bedding plants we have. Best 
results are obtained by sowing the seed early indoors or under 
glass, then transplanting out; yet if seed is sown outside in 
May they bloom abundantly from August until frost and 
may be potted and kept in bloom all winter. They make 
fine cut-flowers, every bud opening when placed in water.
