^€i^^adci^ for BEAUTIFUL SPRING FLOWERS 



Grown in fhe Stale of Washington 



No garden is complete without a liberal

 almost any position, sun or shade, moist or dry. 

 They are equally suited to pot-culture for winter 

 flowering and are unsurpassed for naturalizing.

 the perianth is the surrounding row of petals or wings. (EE) Extra
