green plants make splendid edging, borders and 
beds, 12 to 15 inches high and very uniform. The 
2-inch flowers are borne profusely for mass color, 
and the stems are stiff and strong for cutting. 
They last a long time in water and are effectively 
used in low and medium arrangements. Their 
opening color is deep and glowing mahogany-red, 
gradually bronzing to auburn and then to bronzy 
gold. Showing all these rich shadings is like 
having several varieties blending perfectly on the 
same plant. Red Head is widely adapted to cli- 
mates and soils, growing most anywhere in the 
sun. Versatile, profuse in flowering and so easily 
grown from seed, it is sure to be a popular garden
