DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 
(Mathiola) Sometimes called Gillifilower. 
Considered almost indispensable where a 
Oc fine display of flowers is wanted and par- 
ticularly valued for edgings, bedding and 
pot culture. The improved varieties we offer of this favorite 
garden plant produce dense spikes of very fragrant and 
beautiful rosette-like double flowers in a wide range of at- 
tractive colors. They are suitable for cutting, being produced 
on stems of good length in pleasing contrast with the dark 
green foliage of the bushy plants. Each of the two types 
is of long flowering period and if the earlier ones are started 
indoors, a profusion of fragrant and pleasing flowers is 
afforded for the entire season. 
Sow outdoors early inspring, using well fertilized, care- 
fully pulverized soil and cover seed with one-fourth inch of 
fine soil firmly pressed down. Make the rows fifteen inches 
apart; thin to six inches apart. For earlier blooming start 
indoors and transplant. Height of plants, one to one and 
one-half feet. 
Mammoth Beauty of Nice 
A decidedly superior, large-flowering annual strain with 
the splendid foliage and bloom of the older type but flower- 
ing with the Ten Weeks and decidedly superior in length 
of stem and size of flower spike. This group is also called 
Beauty Stocks, Giants of Nice, ‘‘Cut and Come Again” and 
Victoria Stocks.

SUNFLOWER, Rep anp Gop 
Stock, DousLte Ten WEEKs 
(Helianthus) These stately, 
old-fashioned flowers with 
un ower the newer improved varie- 
ties are coming into special 
favor as a background for lawns and in front of high fences. 
Valuable also as a screen to hide unsightly places and some- 
times used to mitigate the evil of adjacent swamp holes. 
Their very tall dense growth and bright yellow disc-like 
flowers of very large size and long blooming period make 
them one of the most deserving and useful of hardy annuals. 
Sunflowers grow readily in almost any soil but do best 
on light, rich limestone or alluvial land well supplied with 
moisture and not shaded by trees or buildings. Sow the 
seed outdoors in spring after danger of frost is over, prefer- 
ably in well pulverized soil either broadeast or in rows two 
to three feet apart and cover about one-half inch deep. 
When the young plants are about four inches high thin one- 
half to two feet apart to secure the best development.

ing averaging five to seven feet. Oz. 50c..... -. Pkt. 10c.
