ft. Hardy anywhere. Of all the flowering 
plants that may be grown in North 
America this is one of the most satis- 
factory and easily grown. You will find 
it in old cemeteries and around old aban- 
doned homes. In coldest Canada or the 
tropics they grow well. No lime or acid 
chemicals are required. The plants are 
immune to insects and diseases. During 
the past few years many fine new va- 
rieties have been created by Mr. Rus- 
sell of Texas, Dr. Stout of the Brooklyn 
Botanical Garden, Mr. McDade of Ten- 
nessee, and other hybridizers. These new 
kinds grow just as luxuriantly as the old 
common kind found in the cemetery, and 
in addition come in beautiful forms and 
shapes. They are large in size and in 
many shades of red, yellow, purple, wine, 
rose and pink. For night illuminated gar- 
dens kinds are available that open their 
flowers just before sunset and stay open 
the following day. Many of them have 
evergreen foliage. They will grow in 
either full sun or part shade. Delivery 
any time.
