These are of the earliest culture in greenhouse or light window of dwell- ing house, flowering abundantly and continuously with little care, and should be sown during the spring in good porous loam. They will not germinate well in any compost containing peat or leaf mould. To develop the colors to the highest degree, grow in heavy soil, and at a temperature as near 60 degrees as possible.
