A LlNii OP KoLHIA Tkichophylla 



ANNUAI^ 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 blos- 

 soms 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 continuous 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 eflTective 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.

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