in Europe. If the seed is started early 
in a hot-bed an abundance of flowers 
will be produced the same season.

< should be housed during winter. D.

three inches and are scadious-like in 
construction. Monarch is a cross be¬ 
tween a double and cactus, very large

borders, house cultivation and cutting. 
Sweet fragrance and great diversity in 
color and form are theirs peculiarly.
