until after severe frosts, endures our hard winters with safety, and greets us in early 
spring with a profusion of magnificent blossoms. It will flower better m the middle 
of summer if planted in a shady location ; but in almost any situation will give fine 
flowers in spring and autumn. Seed may be sown in the fall or very early in 
spring, in hot-bed or in open ground, and transplanted to the location where
