lovely varieties of this popular flower-

are charming beyond description and 
flower profusely all summer, espe- 
cially near the coast, or if given fre- 
quent watering in the lath house or 
shaded north side inland. They are 
available in singles and doubles, either 
erect shrubs or trailing plants for 
hanging baskets.
