 The Pearl produces much larger and more fully double pure white flowers which 

 are borne in large clusters on long stems. It grows about 2 feet high and is 

 literally covered with these snowy blossoms from spring until frost. Splendiil 

 cut flower for vases. Although a perennial it will flower freely the first season 

 if the seed is sown early .- Pkt. .10c

 in summer. Effective in hardy flower borders, shrubberies, etc.; height, 3 tc 

 4 feet Pkt. 10c 



ACROCLINIUM, Double Mixed 



1020 Free summer-flowering annual plants for garden decoration; the flowers dry as
