quality on plants which are hardy with a 
little protection during the winter. 
They begin blooming in late May or 
early June, depending on the locality, and

cations of fertilizer, and are kept sprayed 
or dusted so that the foliage is free of dis¬ 
ease or insects, will bloom practically con¬ 
tinuously until stopped by frosts. Book of
