RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS.

ANNIJAI. I^ARKSPURS 



This is one of the best-known of garden flowers, and in recent years a vast 

 improvement has been effected by careful selection in size and color of the blos- 

 soms and the general habit of the plant. Seeds sown in the open ground be- 

 fore the close of April will produce flowering plants by the beginning of July, 

 and give a continuous succession of flowers from then unlil frost, a record that 

 is not surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome beds or lines, and 

 iheir free, graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when interspersed 

 in the old-fashioned flower or shrubbery border. They stand well when cut, 

 nnd a vase of one or mixed colors is indeed charming. 



Double StOCk=flOwered. The finest variety with splendid spikes of beau- 

 tiful double flowers. 2^ to 3 feet. (See cut.)
