times lobed, usually narrow and well
veined, The flowers are denSely
packed at the terminal of the stem
and are axillary spikes, these spikes
in the cultivated forms becoming
thickly massed in bundles.
The seeds are small, black and
glossy. They may be kept for years
before planting. They terminate
readily.
Many people are inclined to limit
their color to red, when it comes to
selecting the cockscomb. Perhaps the
name seems to cause the planter to
think Of the flower only in the crimson
or bright red shade. But there are
to 10 well-marked colors that may
be had-the purple. violet. yellow,
amarth and crimson being those that
have become popular. These may be
had in either dwarf or giant size.
The enemy Of the cockscomb that
often spells disaster to the grower is
the red spider, one of the most under
handed little pests in the world. His
presence is not discovered until he
has made serious lnroads on the
strength of the plant. The dropping
of the leaves is your sign. Spraying
with one of the decoctions known
to be fatal to the spider will save
your plant.
