For Growing Out-doors. 
We find the forcing or early class best for this purpose, especially if 
the strong growing kinds are used. Not only are they 1 to 2 weeks earlier 
flowering than most of the late or original class but the colors are much 
more complete and more uniform. However the original or resistant 
strains should be used for out-door work where rust prevails for the 
forcing kinds have little or no resistance to it. For outdoor work in our 
latitude, we find that a Feb. Ist sowing grown on as cool as possible in 3 
to 4 in. pots and planted out in May under cloth will produce excellent 
flowers by late June and more or less thru the summer. For early Winter 
flowering under glass, most sowings are made in June. Altho supplies 
of most kinds appear adequate at this time for next summer’s sowing, we 
suggest placing your order early.
