ANNUAL LARKSPURS 



This is one of tlie best-l^nown of garden flowers, and in recent 

 years a vast improvement lias been effected by careful selection in 

 size and color of the blossoms and the genera! habit of the plant 

 Seeds sown in the open ground before the close of April will pro- 

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

 ous 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. 



Double Stock-flowered. The finest variety with splendid spikes 

 iif beautiful double flowers. 1\ to 3 feet. (See cut.)
