Diamine jn by far 
the most useful of

tints, combined 
with the aromatic 
fragrance of 
many of the 
species are valu¬ 
able recommen¬ 
dations for the 
entire family.

any idea of their beauty. Rich in hue, very 
double, deeply fringed petals— only lacking 
fragrance to make them perfect. Half-hardy 
biennial . . 10
