annuals, either for bedding or pot culture; for bril¬ 
liancy and diversity of color, fragrance, profusion and 
duration of bloom it is unsurpassed. Start the seed in 
February and March, and as soon as the plants have 
their second pair of leaves, prick out into shallow 
boxes and in about four weeks the plants will be ready 
to pot; from which they should be transferred to the 
open ground in May or June.
