 annuals. For early flowers the seed may be sown in the house or greenhouse

 sow the seed in the bed thinly early in May and transplant. Half hardy 

 annuals. Pkt., 3c.

 from beyond the Rocky Mountains. They bloom freely and have flowers of 

 such variety of bright colors that a bed of them is a beautiful sight. Used 

 in hanging baskets and vases, also for borders in beds. Sow in open garden in 

 early spring in partial shade. Pkt., 3c.

 known tall or running Morning Glory. Pkt., 3c.

 as Cosmos. Sow the seed in March, April and May, and will bloom in Sep- 

 tember. Does best in light, rich soil, in sunny places; grows about 7 feet 

 high. Flowers are borne on long stems in clusters of pink, dark pink, and 

 white colors. Fine for house and church decorations. Pkt., 3c.
