 brilliant, rich scarlet, pea-shaped flowers, 3 inches in length, each flower 

 picturesquely marked with a large black blotch in the centre. Plant out 

 in May or June, when the weather has become warm, in a rather dry, shel- 

 tered, sunny position ; 4 feet. 



5584 Cliautlms Danipieri 15 



5585 Cliautlms Dampieri Germani- 



CUS. The seed supplied of this mag- 

 nificent but little known plant has hereto- 

 fore been of Ausiralian growth, and has 

 generally given unsatisfactor)' results un- 

 less grown under glass. By careful selec- 

 tion for many years in a colder climale, 

 the plant has been gradually hardened, 



and we now offer a strain of seed 



that, if sown in ihe open border 

 ' in May, will produce plants that 



will flower freely all summer. . .25

 seeds in warm water for 24 hours 

 before sowing; hardy perennials;

cosnos. 



Beautiful autumn-blooming plants. The flowers 

 are borne profusely in loose clusters on long 

 stems and present a charming appearance when 

 the plants are in full bloom as they wave to 

 and fro in every passing breeze. It is a half- 

 hardy annual and should be sown in spring, in 

 the open ground, when danger of frost is past, 

 or the seed may be started under cover and 

 afterwards transplanted. It is of the easiest 

 culture, planted about a foot apart in rows or in 

 masses in beds, it produces during September 

 and October or later, until cut down by frost, thou- 

 sands of beautiful flowers in pure white, pink, and 

 crimson shades, furnishing an abundance of cut 

 blooms for autumn decoration when other flowers 

 are scarce.
