CLARKIA. 
For their bright and attractive colours, and for the ease with which they 
can be flowered in ordinary soil, Clarkias are extremely popular summer 
annuals. The plants bloom profusely, and when grown in masses a very 
striking effect is produced. In good ground each plant of the Pulchella 
varieties should be allowed a space of 8 or 10 inches, and unless otherwise 
stated the height will be about 18 inches. 
No garden should be without the International Prize Elegans class, 
which is quite distinct in habit from the other sorts and requires more room. 
They are among the best annuals for spring decoration of conservatories 
and houses. For the latter purpose, if sown in September and grown slowly 
with the least possible heat, magnificent specimens 4 feet high, and the same 
distance across, may be had in May. The seedlings should be pinched back 
to 3 inches high, and again to 9 inches to ensure nice bushy plants.
