ANNUAL LARKSPURS 



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 blossoms and the general habit of the plant. 

 Seeds sown in the open ground before the close of April will produce 

 flowering plants by the beginning of July, and give a continuou- 

 succession of flowers from then until frost, a record that is not 

 surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome beds or 

 lines, and their free, graceful habit and bright colors are very 

 effective when interspersed in the old-fashioned flower or shrubbery 

 border. They stand well when cut and a vase of one or mixed 

 colors is indeed charming. 3 feel.
