Varieties marked (WR) are Wilt-resistant. 
With the distinct types and wide range of 
colors they are the outstanding flowers for late 
summer and early fall blooming. For early flow¬ 
ers sow seed from February to April indoors, 
otherwise sow outside when danger of frost is 
past. They require a fairly rich deeply culti¬ 
vated soil and an open sunny location.
