OF ANNUALS 



ceedingly delicate and beautiful. Flowers like 

 small Roses, very double, and set so thickly along 

 the stalks that each branch seems like a wreath of 

 bloom. It is often necessary to trim off many 

 of the leaves in order to give the blossoms a 

 chance to display themselves. Some varieties are 

 charmingly variegated. Being quite tender it 

 should not be sown until one is sure of warm 

 weather. 



CalUopsis (Coreopsis). — ^A very showy plant, 

 with rich yellow flowers, marked with brown, 

 maroon and scarlet at the base of the petal. A 

 most excellent plant where great masses of color 

 are desired. Fine for combining with scarlet 

 and other strong-toned flowers. An aU-the- 

 season bloomer. 



Candytuft. — ^A free and constant bloomer, of 

 low habit. Very useful for edging beds and bor- 

 ders. Comes in pure white and purplish red. 



Celosia (Cockscomb) . — ^A plant with most pe- 

 culiar flowers. What we call the flower is really 

 a collection of hundreds of tiny individual blos- 

 soms set so close together that they seem to com- 

 pose one large blossom. The prevailing color is 

 a bright scarlet, but we have some varieties in 

 pink and pale yellow. Sure to please. 



Cosmos. — ^A plant of wonderfully free flower-
