GLOWING BALL 



{Kochia scoparia) 



We predict that this new annual 

 plant will be very popular as soon 

 as it is known. It is an annual 

 and grows easily and quickly from 

 seed sown in the open ground. It 

 grows 2 to 2^A feet high, with many 

 slender branches pressed close to 

 tlie main stem. A singular feature 

 of this plant is that it always keeps 

 a globular form, even when very 

 small, a row of them making a very 

 striking object all through their 

 growth. They are a beautiful, light, 

 feathery green until September, 

 when the whole plant becomes a 

 mass of small scarlet flowers, the 

 bushy plant resembling balls of 

 fire. They should be planted at 

 least 2 to 3 feet apart each way ; 

 or, the seed can be sown in masses, 

 as in the fall of the year a solid 

 mass of them is very handsome. 

 Very highly recommended Pkt.
