Wallflower 



( Cheiranthus maritimus)

 with a dense mass of beautiful blossoms and are 

 very useful for border or edging. A continual suc- 

 cession of blossoms may be kept up the whole season 

 by sowing at intervals through spring and summer. 

 Hardy annual; about nine inches high. 

 Red and white, mixed Pkt. 5c. 



(Cheiranthus cheiri) An 

 old favorite garden flow- 

 er. The large, massive 

 spikes of the Wallflower are very conspicuous in beds 

 and borders and are very useful in making bouquets. 

 Sow the seed early in hotbeds and while the plants 

 are small prick them out into pots and sink in the 

 earth. On approach of cold weather remove the 

 pots to the house and the plants will bloom all 

 winter. Although a woody perennial it is best to 

 renew the plants from seed, for they begin to fail 

 after having bloomed one or two years. Tender 

 perennial that Avill live through the winter in a mild 

 climate; height about one and one-half feet. 



Early Brown. Brownish-red, fragrant flowers; large, 

 thick spikes; early. Tender biennial. Oz. 25c. Pkt. 5c.

 compact habit, and of attractive golden yellow color.

\X/il#J Pur-iiwik^** (Echinocystis lobata) This 

 Wild LUCUmDer is a useful climber where 

 a rapid and vigorous growth of vine is desired. To 

 cover or to screen an unsightly building, there is 

 perhaps no annual climber better adapted for the 

 purpose. The vine has abundant foliage, is thickly 

 covered with white, fragrant flowers, followed by 

 numerous prickly seed pods. Usually the plants 

 are produced from year to year by self sown seed. 

 Hardy annual. Oz. 20c; Lb. $1.50..... Pkt. 5c. 



One of the most 

 beautiful and rapid 

 growing of the hardy climbers. When well estab- 

 lished 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 pale blue, pea- ' 

 shaped and are borne in long, drooping clusters, 

 often over a foot in length. 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. 



Yovanfkomum (Everlasting) A free flower- 

 ACrdninemum j n g p i ant f compact habit 

 and of the easiest cultivation. The leaves are 

 covered with a silvery down and the single or double 

 flowers are pure white, deep purple or yellow. If 

 gathered before fully opened and dried in the shade, 

 the flowers will retain their beauty for years. Sow

 where the plants are to remain. Hardy annual ; one 

 foot high. Mixed Pkt. 5c.

 There is much satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias, for 

 when nearly every other flower has been killed by 

 frost this plant is still in full bloom. Few flowers are 

 moreeasily grown or bloommoreabundantly through- 

 out the season, and the wide range of color is not 

 less remarkable than their unusual depth and rich- 

 ness. Sow the seed early in spring, in open ground 

 and transplant to one and one-half feet apart in 

 good, rich soil. Half hardy annual; about eighteen 

 inches high.
