Two Beautiful Garden Annuals 



Which Should be Grown in Every Garden 

 LA VATERA "Sunset" Rosea Splendens (Annual) 



2618 The Lavateras are exceedingly popular in Europe where they are 

 generally known as Mallows. Lavatera "Sunset" is by far the most 

 striking of its kind, bearing large bowl-shaped flowers of a charming 

 rose-pink color.. These richly colored flowers may be cut on stems 

 2 feet or more in length, which with their foliage make a beautiful 

 decoration for large vases. The flowers are borne abundantly through- 

 out the summer and fall; making Lavatera "Sunset" very desirable 

 for beds on the lawn or as border decoration. The plants form 

 branching compact bushes two to two and one- half feet in height; 

 well furnished with bronzy-green foliage and stems which make a fine 

 foil to the shining rose-pink flowers. Our friends should plant freely 

 seeds of this beautiful flowering plant. Sufficient room should be 

 allowed for the development of the plant; a space of two ^3r three 

 feet being not too much to allow where the soil is good Pkt. 15c 



LUPINUS Selected (Annual) 



While the perennial varieties of Lupinus are desirable flowers for the 

 herbaceous border, the annual varieties offered below are the most useful 

 on account of their rapidity of growth and free-flowering qualities. They 

 are fine for mixed borders and for planting among shrubs or as beds on the 

 lawn, making a grand display for a small outlay. As will be noted there are 

 a number of charming colors in the selection and some of the varieties are 

 delicately scented. Plants of .-Annual Lupinus attain a height of about 2 

 feet; are of robust branching habit; and throw out spikes covered with pea- 

 shaped flowers for most of their length. If these are cut as they mature 

 the plants will continue to bloom for a long time. 



The leaves of the plant, too, are quite ornamental, being divided like a 

 palm leaf. They are from 4 to 7 inches in diameter, dark green and satiny 

 and form a very handsome bush.
