KING CAI^ENOUI^AS 



While all of the Calendulas offered on page 73 are distinct and splendid varieties 

 and well worth growing, the three sorts here offered produce flowers of 

 supreme quality and size, and should be in every garden, being equally as de- 

 siraljle for garden decoration as for cutting. 

 1682 Orange King. An extra fine strain of this splendid double rich orange 



red variety, producing flowers over 3 inches in diameter. 5 cts. per pkt. ; 



40 cts. per oz. 

 1686 Lemon King. Identical in every way to the preceding, except in 



color, which is a rich lemon-yellow. 5 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per oz. 



1684 Qolden King. Rich golden-yellow flowers of large size, and 

 borne on long, strong stems, making it of special value for cutting. 

 5 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. per oz. 



Giant Hyacinth -Floivered or 



Improved Empress Candytuft 



1753 



A wonderfully improved strain 

 of the popular Empress Candy- 

 tuft, forming much branched 

 plants about 18 inches 

 high, each branch termi- 

 nated by an immense spike 

 of very large individual 

 pure white flowers. Makes 

 a very effective white 

 bed or border, and is 

 invaluable for cutting. 

 10 cts. per pkt.; 35 

 cts. pel ^ oz. ; 60 cts. 

 per oz. 



The Cardinal Climber 



(CHINESE ^WOOLFLO^WER 



(Celosia Childsi) 



This is a unique form of the feathered Cockscomb, 

 growing 2 to 3 feet high, Ijy as much through, each 

 branch terminated with a large head of flowers that 

 look as if made out of some silky wool material, and 

 which is nicely shown in our illustration. Not only 

 effective in beds or borders, but highly interesting and 

 valuable for cutting, as they can be dried, and retain 

 their bright color for weeks. We offer two colors: 



1865 Crimson. Very rich color. 



1864 Pink. A pretty shade of salmony-pink. 



Price of either, 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. • ;' 



THE CARDINAL CLIMBER 



(Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) 



2158 We named and introduced this glorious and absolutely distinct 

 annual climber in 1912, and it is now generally considered the 

 most beautiful and brilliant annual climber ever sent out. It 

 is a strong and rapid grower, attaining a height of 30 feet or 

 more, with beautiful fern-like foliage, and literally covered 

 with a blaze of circular cardinal-red flowers from mid-summer 

 till frost. The flowers, about 1^ inches in diameter, are borne 

 in clusters of 5 to 7 each. Like other Ipomoeas, it delights in 

 a warm, sunny situation and good soil. The seed may be 

 started indoors in March or April, in a temperature of not less 

 than 70 degrees, but it is just as well to wait until the weather 

 gets warm and settled and then sow out of doors. Packets 

 containing about 25 seeds each, 15 cts.; 2 pkis., 25 cts.
