The flowers are borne profusely in loose clusters, and present a charming appearance when the plants are in full blossom as they wave to and fro in every -pivssine breeze. Seed should be sown early in spring and the plants transplanted in the open border when danger from frost is past. It begins Ijlooming in August and con- tinues until cut down by frost. If yonn? plants are starved a little it will have the effect of bringing them into bloom early. For planting in shrubbery it will be found very valuable. Hydridns, Mixed 10 ' Pure White 15
