strains will provide valuable masses of colour for the mixed border and a great wealth of bloom for cutting through the summer months. 
The first to show is the Grenadin, making a useful prelude to the Prize and Perpetual classes which produce a large proportion of flowers 
equal to any that are seen on the exhibition stage. In August the Annual section should be in full bloom, and when frost begins, if the 
plants are transferred to pots and placed in the greenhouse, they will give an abundance of flowers for cutting during the winter months.
