Excellent Background Flowers 



CYNOGLOSSOM (Chinese Forget-me-not) [hA-2 ft.] Too few

 blooming season is long. They are easy to grow.

 flowers are plentiful and delightfully colored. Unusually pretty 

 and adaptable to any garden 3^ oz. 55c; pkt. 10c

 in low beds and borders. The spreading plants are covered with a 

 wealth of large daisy-like blossoms which expand in full sun but 

 close toward nightfall. Dark centers, common to all varieties, 

 enhance their beauty. African Daisy is a splendid winter flower in
