Dreer's Reliable FLOWER SEEDS 



Schizanthus— Bu/ter/7y 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.
