 hardy perennial climbers. When well established in good 

 soil it will often grow fifteen to twenty feet during the 

 season and frequently blooms both in spring and fall. The 

 flowers are very fragrant, single, pale blue, peashaped and 

 are borne in long, drooping grape-like clusters, often over a 

 foot in length. Foliage light green, pinnate. The seed 

 should be sown in mellow loam early in the spring, or in 

 greenhouse or hotbed in winter and when plants are one 

 foot high transplanted into permanent situations. .Pkt. 20c. 

 WOOLFLOWER (See Celosia Childsi) 



r*nr« • " Sometimes called Youth and Old Age. 



XVV^Y^l^ Tne wel1 known bush-like plants of 

 / a * I ! ! [ICL Zinnias produce a profusion of large 

 double imbricated flowers, borne on 

 stiff stems. They are much used for bedding and are 

 suitable for borders and for cutting. 



There is much satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias with their 

 twisted and recurved petalled flowers in many bright colors, 

 and when nearly every other flower has been killed by frost 

 this plant is still in full bloom. Few flowers are more easily 

 grown or bloom more abundantly throughout the season, 

 and the wide range of color is not less remarkable than 

 their unusual depth and richness. 



Sow the seed early in spring, in open ground in good 

 rich soil, preferably in rows one and one-half feet apart and 

 covering about one-fourth inch deep. When the young 

 plants are one to two inches high thin to six inches apart. 

 Start under glass for earlier blooming. Half hardy annual; 

 tall growing, usually about one and one-half to two feet high. 



f*» . r\ ii An improved strain which produces 

 VJiant UOUDle immense double flowers 3 to 4 inches 

 in diameter in an extremely wide range of colors. The 

 plants are hardy, of very vigorous growth, often 3 feet 

 high, and remain in bloom from early summer until killed 

 by severe frost.
