FLOWER SEEDS 



AMMOBIUM ALATUM (Annual) 



1079 Valuable white Everlasting. The fully expanded flower has a yellow center. If sown 

 in April or May the plants bloom freely the same year. Height, 2 ! A feet Pkt. 10c 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII, '^Boston" or "Japan Ivy" (Perennial) 



1082 A valuable climber. Entirely hardy in the most exposed places, often attaining a height 

 of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years from seed, clinging to stones, brick or wood-work 

 with the greatest tenacity. It is a great protection to walls, etc., as the leaves lapping 

 over each other, shed rain. For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls etc 

 it has no equal. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in the fall it 

 assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange Pkt. 10c 



ANCHUSA 



1087 Italica (.Perennial) "Dropmore" variety. A fine, large, hardy, herbaceous plant, 

 4 to 5 feet high. This new "Dropmore" variety is a great improvement on the type; 

 the beautiful Forget-Me-Not-like flowers being much larger than others and of a lovely 

 Gentian blue produced in long, loose sprays. Invaluable for the hardy border, as flowers 

 are produced during the entire season and until late in the fall Pkt. 15c 



10£8 Anchusa Myosotidiflora (Perennial). A beautiful hardy variety from Siberia, bearing 

 a profusion of light blue flowers resembling the Forget-Me-Not, blooms in April and May, 

 splendid for rock gardens, height 2 feet Pkt. 25c 



1089 "Blue Bird" (Annual). The perennial Anchusa, in its highest development, the Drop- 

 more variety, is deservedly popular by its lovely bright blue flowers. This esteem is 

 now shared by the annual Anchusa, which grows about 18 inches high, is of compact 

 habit, and bears its flowers Tn a luxuriant bouquet at the top of the plant. The latter 

 are of a vivid indigo blue and of brilliant effect for the decoration of beds and borders.

 ordinary dwarf sorts. The great size and perfect form of the individual bloom combined with 

 ideal symmetry of the spike are its main characteristics. A beautiful variety for beds or bor- 

 ders, height 1 foot. Seed is sown in the open ground in May to flower in July, but a better way 

 is to start seeds indoors in March and transplant outdoors when ready. (See illustration.)
