CANNA [tP-3 ft.] There is fine dignity in this stately plant. 

 Each stalk produces broad leaves of green or bronze, topped 

 by a cluster of large flowers of varied and vivid colors. 

 Usually they are started from roots, but they can easily be 

 grown from seed. The seeds, however, are very hard and 

 should be notched or filed and soaked before planting.

CARDINAL CLIMBER (Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) [hA- 

 C-15 ft.] This rapidly growing climber attains quite a 

 height during the season if planted in rich soil in a warm 

 sunny place. The flowers, growing in clusters, are tubular 

 and expand into star-shaped rims. Their color is an intense 

 fiery red which shows off to advantage against the feathery 

 green of the leaves M oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Cardiospermtjtm (See Balloon Vine) 



Rich soil, good drainage, and sunshine will help 

 perfect these spicy blossoms. This is Chabaud Giant. 



CARNATION (Dianthus Caryophyilus) [hA] Few flowers 

 surpass in beautj' of form or delicious fragrance the richlj^ 

 hued Carnation. The plants are branching 1 ut compact, 

 and the handsome blossoms are produced on blue-green 

 stems that are stiff but slender. The double flowers with 

 their thick waxy petals are spicily scented. Carnation is 

 really a tender perennial, but it is best to treat it as an 

 annual and plant new seeds each year. 



Chabaud Giant [18 in.] This variety blooms six months 

 after seeding and continues throughout the summer. The 

 plants, robust and erect, supply handsome, double, clove- 

 scented flowers of extra large size. This type should not be 

 confused with the old, small-flowered Chabaud.

CELOSIA (Cockscomb) [hA] An odd and pictm-esque class 

 of plants having colored foliage and innumerable small 

 flowers and seed vessels which form a brilliant colored 

 mass. The vivid blossoms are sometimes gracefully 

 arranged like plumes and in other tj'pes form dense 

 clusters corrugated and frilled at the edges like cocks' 

 combs. They retain their brilliant coloring from midsum- 

 mer until frost. 



Dwarf Crested (Cristata) [10 in.] This Httle plant is al- 

 most over-powered by the large ruffled velvety crest that 

 rises above it on a central stem. This variety gives Celosia 

 the name "Cockscomb".

 give the effect of snow. It blooms early.
