from 6 to 20 inches. Seeds should be sown in open ground 
beds in latest autumn, or at first practicable moment in 
spring. Slow germinating. Plants are hardy and long

planted when small. Good drainage. Lime tolerant, or 
favoring. Full sun. Fine mixture offered here, all below, 
and others. Pkt. 15c.

good, fern-foliage, its long season of flowering. I like even 
its somewhat robust coloring, a clear purple-rose with deeper 
veinings. At Philadelphia, still full of bloom on Thanks¬

germinates with ease and readiness. Some of them make 
attractive foliage mats. The flowers are carried In loose

colorings range from palest lemon, through buff, amber and 
honey tones, to gold and radiant orange. Late spring and
