They are bright and hardy (except the Polyanthus sorts), and nearly all are most deliciously fragrant; no flower better deserves its popu- larity. Of easy culture, they are equally satisfactory for potting and for the open bed and borders, while their rush-like, glaucous foliage and white and yellow flowers are very much admired.
