FERRY'S SEEDS 



SCARLET RUNNER BEANS [h.\-10 ft.] Brilliant sprays of 

 scarlet pea-shaped blossoms decorate this rapid growing 

 pole or runner Bean. The large leaves form a dense mass of 

 handsome fohage. Following the vivid flowers it bears fine 

 long pods of superior flavor but rather stringy and when 

 more mature produces fine green shell Beans. Hence it 

 fiUs a dual role being valuable for eating as well as orna- 

 mental Lb. 40c; pkt. 10c 



SCHIZANTHUS (Poor Man's Orchid) [hA-18in.] Myriads 

 of dainty blossoms Uke butterflies or tiny orchids smother 

 these delightful bushy plants. In the garden or for pot 

 culture it makes a charming, effective gro'5\'th. Finely cut, 

 fresh green fohage forms a pleasing background for the 

 loose sprays of deUcate flowers. The seed germinates 

 readily and the plants start flowering within a few weeks. 

 Fine for picking.

 large flowered hybrids with dainty markings, chiefly in the 

 lighter tones of color or pastel shades.

 of the large flowered glorification of our common field daisj'.

 blooms with handsome j'ellow centers on long stems. They 

 axe valuable for border decoration and especially pleasing 

 in bouquets. If the early buds are pinched back the mass of 

 foliage wfll be improved while the later flowers ■^■ill be
