They like rather sandy, rich soil, and will grow 
in any garden. Seedlings begin to bloom when 
small and continue throughout the season. The 
bright flowers in many colors and variegations 
appear in big broad clusters. A carpet bed of

finest races, and can supply the colors sepa¬ 
rately or all in special mixture. They are hardy 
annuals, can be sown early.

soil and a sunny exposure, grow and bloom
