Lovely annuals, far too little known, for they are truly beautiful. Like 
a spray of apple-blossoms, the tall spikes are covered with handsome double 
flowers, appearing all around the stem and from every leaf-joint. The colors 
are most delicate and refined. Sow the seed in the coldframe in March and 
make successive sowings outdoors in May and June. If planted in very rich 
soil and supported by stakes, they will produce lovely strong spikes.
