FLOWER SEED COLLECTIONS 



Popular Collection of Flower Seeds, 25c 



12 PACKETS EASY-GROWING ANNUALS 



For the convenience of those who would rather trust to my judg- 

 ment and experience instead of selecting them themselves, the fol- 

 lowing will be found a beautiful collection giving a continuous dis- 

 play of flowers. Full cultural directions on each packet. Twelve 

 easy-growing annuals for 25 cts., consisting of Asters, Sweet Alys- 

 sum, Balsam, Candj'tuft, Carnation, Cosmos, Mignonette, Nastur- 

 tiums, Petunia, Pinks, Poppies and Sweet Peas. 



California Privet Hedge 



The California Privet is, by all odds, our best hedge plant. It is abso- 

 lutely free from insect pests, is a rapid, vigorous grower under all con- 

 ditions, has handsome, glossy foliage that lasts well into the winter. It 

 can be pruned at any time, and the more you prune the better it will 

 look. It can be kept low when you simply wish a border, or it can be 

 grown 5 or 6 feet high, or higher, to be used as a screen or a windbreak 

 for your garden. It can also be trimmed in geometrical shapes and curved 

 arches ; in fact, you can do with it almost anything you want to, doing 

 well under all situations and under all conditions. 



In planting, I recommend a double row, 6 inches from each other with 

 plants set 6 inches apart in the row, diagonally opposite. In this way it 

 makes a thick, compact hedge, which even dogs cannot get through 

 easily. 



California Privet is also very desirable in clumps or as a single plant. 

 One of the handsomest plants at my Floracroft gardens is a single plant 

 of California Privet, which we trim hard each year. It is a very handsome 

 specimen. Per 100 i.ooo
