THE CULTURE IS VERY SIMPLE— Plant the seed three or four inches deep in the most convenient place you 
happen to have, very early in the Spring—just as early as possible- February, March,.April or May, according to season 
and locality. Keep the ground loose and mellow, give the the young plants good support to climb on—wire netting, twine o* 
brush. Keep the flowers picked off clean every day, as fast as they open (this is very important), and they will bloom 
abundantly for many weeks. No flowers are easier to grow or more certain to give satisfaction.
