Their exquisite shades, ease of culture, and great dependability cause these to be- 
come increasingly popular from year to year. They are thoroughly at home in sandy 
soil, although they will do well in any soil that is not too heavy. 
In color they range from the purest white to golden yellow and bronze, from helio- 
trope to light blue and to the darkest blues. Because of dainty form and having 
strong, wiry stems, they lend themselves particularly for artistic and decorative 
arrangements. In the garden they should be massed, grouping the different colors 
by themselves. 
They readily force in moderate temperature. Outdoors they should not be planted 
zi the same place in succession, new ground each year producing by far the best 
owers.
