 height of the 

 second story

 stem was six 

 inches in dia- 

 meter, and tne 

 leaves were 

 as large as an 

 nmbrelia."

 ppointed in not getting the Moon- 

 flower to bloom before frosts. Here 

 is a grand new hybrid variety from 

 40 to 60 days earlier than the old 

 variety, bearing just as large and 

 beaut ifulflowers. It came into flower 

 in Minneapolis last summer about 

 Aug. 15 from seed sown out of doors 

 Mayl, Starting it in the house in 

 April will give a longer period of 

 bloom. Pkt., 8 seeds, 8 cts.
