Celosia — Childsi 



{Chinese Woolflower) 

 A new and very attractive form of Celosia 

 with large, globular, purplish crimson flowers 

 which resemble a ball of brilliantly colored 

 wool. The plants are vigorous growing, two 

 to three feet high and branch freely, each 

 branch terminating in a flower head. A bed 

 of these plants when in full bloom make a 

 gorgeous showing and even a few plants set 

 in a mixed border will be found a valuable 

 addition. They are of easy culture and con- 

 tinue in bloom from early summer until killed 

 by frost. Seed may be sown out of doors as 

 soon as the ground is warm and dry or plants 

 may be started indoors and transplanted to 

 place when weather is settled. (See cut on 

 this page and further description, page 77) 

 Pkt. 10c. 



Stock — Double Ten Weeks 



The Stocks have long been favorites in 

 European gardens and have much to recom- 

 mend them for more general cultivation in 

 this country. They produce throughout a 

 long flowering season attractive spikes of 

 double rosette-like flowers in delicate _shades 

 of white, old rose, lavender, violet, red and 

 purple. The flowers are fragrant, borne on 

 stems of good length and are very desirable 

 for cutting. The plants are especially attrac- 

 tive in front of shrubbery and are also much 

 used for edgings, bedding and pot culture. 

 duce a very large proportion of double flowers.

Marigold — El Dorado 



A strain of this old fashioned garden favorite with large double flowers of deep golden color. They are 

 easily grown and even where space is limited a few plants will furnish a profusion of bloom long after many 

 of the more tender annuals have been killed by frost. In beds or borders they are among the most showy of 

 cur garden flowers. (See further description, page 85) Pkt. 10c. 



Sweet Peas — Early Flowering Spencers 



This desirable new class of sweet peas is steadily gaining 

 in popularity and we believe that within a few years all of 

 the shades and colors found in the older types will be rep- 

 resented in it. The flowers have all the excellent qualities 

 of the later flowering Spencers but will bloom a full month 

 or more earlier and furnish an abundance of flowers during 

 a very long season. They are equally valuable for growing 

 under glass or for planting outdoors. (See colored plate, 

 page 96 and further description, page 97)
