Canary-Bird Vine @eo 
Tropaeolum canariense 
1749 A beautiful, rapid growing annual climber with charming 
canary yellow blossoms bearing a fancied resemblance 
to a bird with its wings half expanded. The sprays of 
flowers are very artistic and, when cut, keep in good condition 
for a week. Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 
Candytuft—Iberis @A 
Charming for beds, borders, rock gardens, etc., and the larger 
the mass the better the effect. The plants grow about 12 inches 
high and will succeed in any light, airy position. Seed may be 
sown any time during the spring. They bloom in about eight 
weeks from the time of sowing, and in order to keep up a succession 
of bloom two sowings should be made at intervals of about two 
weeks. For best results thin the plants to stand not less than 
six inches apart. While useful for cutting, it is for their bright 
effect in the garden that they are mainly grown.
