fine for both bedding and cutting purposes. The stately, graceful flower spikes, many to each plant, 
come in the most pleasing shades and in three height classes. In good soil they flower continually

san. Set plants in the border in May, the tall varieties at Ieast 1 foot apart and the dwarfs 9 inches.
