A beautiful race of flowering plants brought into 
prominence recently with the introduction of an im¬ 
proved large-flowering scarlet type and the new various- 
colored hybrids. They are half hardy perennials, 
usually grown as greenhouse or window plants where 
they flower continuously. The Daisy-like blossoms, 3 
to 4 inches across, being borne on 12 to 18 inch stems, 
are unsurpassed as cut flowers, being of splendid lasting 
substance. For garden culture in cold climates the 
plants are wintered over in cold frames like Pansies, 
etc. They are easily grown from seed and will com¬ 
mence flowering the first year though older plants will 
produce the greater abundance of bloom.
