Cornuta, Pansies, etc. The pyramid form Forget-Me-Nots come 

 in a lovely blue shade too, and a white and pearl white. Blue But- 

 terfly is a dwarf annual Delphinium as beautiful and just as blue 

 as the hardy Chinensis, and if started in paper pots up to March 

 Blue Butterfly will be a worthy early border flower. 



Dianthus is a biennial, blooming all through the first Summer 

 from March sown seed. These Dianthus tufts may be used to fill 

 in bare places wherever there are bare places, they may also pro- 

 vide a complete border directly back of lower growing border 

 plants. Salmon Queen, White Empress, Crimson Velvet, indeed 

 all of these biennial Dianthus are charming; besides they are ever- 

 blooming, that is if they are not allowed to seed. Dimorphotheca 

 hybrids should be pot sown so we may have these gay little flowers 

 abloom by mid- June through to Autumn. 



You may even have your California Poppies (Eschscholtzia) 

 all ready when real Summer warmth arrives, to tuck in countless 

 places, such as all through the naturalized plantings where they 

 will self -sow forever after. California Poppies will not bear trans- 

 planting from flats, but when grown in individual paper pots, 

 planting pot and all, their tap roots will not be disturbed. Grow 

 the newest hybrids, the Geisha, Rajah, Mikado, Dainty Queen and 

 Diana a fluted flesh pink Eschscholtzia. 



The Godetias of dwarf form and the very dwarf (10 inches) 

 Larkspurs are precious annuals for early blooming with "paper 

 pot" sown seed, in fact all heights of annual Larkspurs thrive and 

 blossom vigorously grown this way. Lobelias too should be ready 

 to give us early flowers, both the compact bush and the trailing; 

 the cobalt blue and the white, also the light blue with tiny white 

 eye. The annual Lupin which is one of our loveliest flowers, should 

 be grown only in pots ; they are tap root plants and cannot endure 

 transplanting. There is delicate little Nemesia, dear bushy things 

 for borders. In Pentstemons quite wonderful are "Gloxinioides" 

 a strain of Pentstemon worthy of any garden. Sow Scabioso and 

 Salpiglossis in paper pots and when cutting these unusual flowers 

 arrange them with Maidenhair ferns all the colors are lovely.
