unless; they are grown in a very sheltered position, which is not always available. They are valuable plants however, as they supply flowers well into the autumn; the blooms being useful for cut flower purposes as well as for garden decoration. The recentlyintroduced variety, "Early Klohdyke, Orange Flare/^s a distinct break from the white, pink, or red forms of the older varieties. ' It. is very free flowering, of a vivid orange shade, and grows.from 2ft to Sfttalli with light green foliage. Not growing so tall as the older sorts, it is not so difficult to manage, and the blooms are particularly use* ful as cut flowers.
