\A/*1^ ^nr»iimKAi» iEchinocystis lohata) This is a useful climber where a rapid and vigorous growth of vine is desired. 

 W llCl ^UCUlllDCi To cover or to screen an unsightly building, there is perhaps no annual climber better adapted for 

 the purpose. The vine has abundant foliage and is thickly covered with sprays of small white, fragrant flowers, followed by 

 numerous prickly seed pods.

 W ISLaila V^nmenSlS tablished in good soil it will often grow fifteen to twenty feet during the season and frequently 

 blooms both in spring and fall. The fiowers are very fragrant, single, pale blue, pea-shaped and are borne in long, drooping 

 grape-like clusters, of ten over a foot in length. Foliage light green, pinnate. 



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. 



Zinnia 



Sometimes 

 called Youth 

 and Old Age. 

 The well 

 knov/n bush- 

 like plants of Zinnias produce a profu- 

 sion of large double imbricated flowers, 

 borne on stiff stems. They are much used 

 for bedding and are suitable for borders 

 and for cutting. (See back cover) 



There is much satisfaction in a bed of 

 Zinnias with their twisted and recurved 

 petalled flowers in many bright colors, 

 and when nearly every other flower has 

 been killed by frost this plant is still in 

 full bloom. Few flowers are more easily 

 grown or bloom more abundantly 

 throughout the season, and the wide 

 range of color is not less remarkable 

 than their unusual depth and richness. 



Sow the seed early in spring, in open 

 ground in good, rich soil, preferably in 

 rows one and one-half feet apart and 

 covering about one-fourth inch deep. 

 When the young plants are one to two 

 inches high thin to six inches apart. 

 Start under glass for earlier blooming. 

 Half hardy animal: tall growing, usually 

 about one and one-half to two feet high.
