ideal for bedding and cut-flower borders where the summers are not too hot. They require a light, 
rich soil, but avoid fresh manure. In warm latitudes it is best to plant them in a shady location. For 
outside culture start the seed indoors in February and set the plants out, to stand 1 foot apart, in 
April to bloom in June. Be sure to provide shade after transplanting, until established.
