DESCRIPTION. 
i vSow in hot-bed and plant out after 
middle of May. Being continuous 
r bloomers they are desirable for 
bedding. 
r The flowers are of great brilliancy. 
J They succeed in any soil and are 
j adapted for cutting. 
. Sow thickly, where wanted to flower, 
J early in the spring Plants for 
j winter flowering are readily had 
from seed sown in August. 
Very striking plants on account of 
their beautiful varied colored foli¬ 
age or peculiar mode of bloom. 
The leaves are always largest when 
the plants are grown on rich soil, 
but rather poor soil enhances the 
* coloring. The seed can be sown 
in the house, or in a liot-bed and 
transplanted to place where wanted 
for effect. If sown out doors the 
soil should be very fine and the 
spot protected until the plants are 
well started. 
| Constant bloomers, suitable for beds, 
rock work, etc. Plant in sunny 
( situations. 
) I'lowers somewhat like Eorget-me- 
> not. Very ornamental and of long 
) duration when cut. 
Spring and autumn flowering plants 
that require a rich, deep soil. The 
* Japanese sorts flower in the fall 
and are especially beautiful. 
j A beautiful winter pot plant. Tong 
spikes of cup shaped flowers. Very 
( fragrant. 
If sown in March or April and set 
out when strong enough, these 
plants make a display that is 
unequalled for duration and bril¬ 
liancy. The tall sorts are fine iu 
[ borders. The dwarf make splendid 
beds. They prefer a light, warm 
but well enriched soil. Seed sown 
outdoors in May will produce satis¬ 
factory results. Our Strains oj 
these are superior to all others in 
size and brilliancy oj flowers .

i any situation.
