Many occasions arise when it is desirable to go into the garden 

 and gather huge annfuls of choice cut-flowers. 



Flowers purchased in a store can never be as interesting as a 

 bouquet cut fresh from your own garden. The Helichrysums or 

 Everlasting Flowers included in this collection may be dried, and 

 will remain bright and attractive for an entire year. These varieties 

 are just as suitable for beds and borders.

Summer Flowering Collection of 

 Annuals for the Rock Garden 



Unless annual flowers are used, the Rock Garden usually takes on a 

 rather drab appearance during the summer months. In order to keep it 

 bright and gay, we recommend planting the following group. These 

 may be sown directly in the garden during the month of May or the seed 

 may be started earlier indoors and the seedlings transplanted to the 

 garden after the flowering of the early permanent material has completed 

 its display. 



Ageratum Blue Star. Light blue 

 flowers; height 4 to 5 inches. 



Alyssum Carpet of Snow. Grows 

 only 2 to 3 inches high; white fra- 

 grant flowers; blooms all summer. 



Candytuft Dwarf Hybrid Mixed. 

 Grows 4 to 6 inches high; bright 

 colors.
