These popular flowers of French origin are exceedingly brilliant when in 
flower and excellent for cutting. They like to be planted about 6 inches deep 
in a cool, moist but well-drained soil. Will establish without any trouble 
and remain for years. For northern states we advocate early spring plant¬ 
ing, for the southern section of the country, fall planting is best. Cover in 
winter with strawy manure.
