showy flowers are borne

Germination will be hast¬

four leaves transplant in rows two feet apart and about 
twenty-four inches apart in the row. At this distance the

the ground completely. Earlier blooming may be had if the 
plants are started indoors and transplanted in the open 
ground after danger of killing frost is over. Half hardy peren¬
