CYPRESS VINE AND CARDINAL CLIMBER 



These beautiful twining annual climbers are not as much grown as they deserve. 

 Seed started in pots early in the house or hot bed. and the seedlings set out in the garden 

 after danger from frost, will make plants 20 feet high and be completely covered for 

 3 months or more with beautiful star-shaped tubular flowers borne in clusters that 

 contrast effectively against the feathery Fern-like, bright green foliage. Sown in the 

 open ground they will of course commence flowering later. In the latter event the 

 hard shelled seeds should be soaked in hot water. 



White Pkl. 5c. Rose Pkt. 5c. 



Scarlet 5c. Mixed Colors 5c. 



Scarlet Queen or "Cardinal Climber." This new hybrid Cypress Vine is one of the 

 most beautiful annual climbers that we know of. In a warm, sunny location in good 

 soil, it grows about 20 feet high and is densely clothed with miniature Palm-like, 

 deeply serrated, rich, green leaves and literally bespangled with dazzling, scarlet, 



tubular flowers, 1% inches across Pkt. 25c. 



"/ do not think you ca7i be loo extravagant in your praises of the Cardiyial Climber, for it 

 is by all odds the best thing in a decorative annual climber I have ever seen."

DAHLIAS FROM SEED 



It is not generally realized that most beautiful Dahlias may be grown and flowered in 

 late summer and autumn from spring-sown seed. Many of them, differing from any 

 of the named varieties on the market, and some from seed are equally beautiful, the 

 production of novel forms and combinations of colorings being most interesting. One 

 of our customers. Mr. A. P. Updike. Reno, Nev.. writes us thus: "By planting a packet 

 of your choice Dahlia seed this spring, I was successful in raising such beauties, that I 

 secured the First Premium — a gold medal — at the Nevada State Fair, for the best 

 displa>' and greatest variety of Dahlias."

"The Dahlia seeds I bought of you last Spring were certainly great. Out of one 25c. 

 packet I raised fourteen beautiful plants and no two alike. The first one bloomed on the 

 28th of July and they kept blooming until frost. The flowers were all immense, measuring 5 

 and 6 inches across. They were the wonder of the neighborhood. I bought the seed merely 

 out of curiosity, as I had not the faintest idea they would bloom the first year."
