FLOWER SEEDS 
Schizanthus—Butterfly or Fringe Flower ® 
This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, es- 
pecially adapted to bordering beds of taller flowers and those of a 
heavier growth. The seeds germinate quickly and come into 
bloom in a few weeks after sowing. The flowers are so numerous 
as to completely obscure the foliage, making the plant a veritable 
pyramid of the most delicate and charming blooms. Schizanthus 
is an admirable pot plant for the house in late winter and early 
spring. For this purpose sow in the autumn.

Statice—Annual Varieties ® 
The anaual Statice is extensively used in 
combination with other Everlastings in the

The seed of Statice is sup- 
plied in the dry flower heads 
and in order to secure satis- 
factory germination these 
heads should be somewhat 
pulled apart before sowing in 
pans filled with sandy soil. 
By far the best method is to 
sow in a layer of sharp sand 
placed on top of the soil. 
Keep uniformly but moder- 
ately moist and transplant 
into the garden when the 
weather gets warm. They 
also may be sown outdoors 
hes 1 in mid-May.
