FLOWER SEEDS 



CLARKI A ELEGANS or Rocky Mountain Garland (Annual) 



The plants send up a mass of slender upright branches that reach a height of about two feet. 

 Each branch is covered for almost its entire length with buds and flowers. The buds, long and 

 gracefully poised, resemble those of the Fuchsia. The flowers are double, and their daintiness of 

 form and delicacy of color, remind one of a garland of almond blossoms. 



For the table decorations, few flowers are more satisfactory. If the sprays are cut before all 

 the buds have opened, they will last for a long time, or until all the buds have developed into 

 bloom. 



Being a hardy annual, the Clarkia is easily grown. It will do well in any light garden soil.

CLEOME ("Spider Flower") (Annual) 



1965 Gigantea Rosea. Cleome, or giant spider plant as it is sometimes called, has been 

 neglected for years: probably because attention has not been directed to it by seedmen.

 two feet apart. The plants grow very rapidly and attain a height of from three to five 

 feet. {See illustration.) Pkt. 10c
