They bloom from early summer until frost in all sections of the country, succeeding in any sunny position in any kind of soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment. For best results the beds should be spaded about two feet deep, and a generous amount of well-decayed manure of any kind thoroughly incorporated, and at all times freely watered. They are most effective when planted in masses of one variety, setting out the plants about two feet apart. They are also very effective when planted in mixed borders, where their long flowering season insures a constant display of color. All varieties have green foliage unless otherwise specified.
