Col. D. Appleton 
No flower makes a more magnificent display in the 
autumn than these, with their almost endless variety 
of form and colors, ranging from the purest snowy 
white, delicate pink and rose, through all the shades 
of brilliant yellows and deep reds. Set out the plants 
In a sunny, sheltered location, in good rich soil, using 
plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Water freely and 
keep well cut back until the first of August. If 
wanted for indoor blooming, they should be lifted 
about the middle of September, potted, watered thoroughly, and set 
in a shady place for a few days; afterward expose them to the full 
light, in a temperature not higher than fifty degrees.
