 fast growing creeper is particularly adapted to edgings, or 

 for sunny situations in the rock garden. At a distance the 

 silvery-white foliage and profusion of small white flowers 

 give the effect of snow. It blooms early. 



Tomentosum Pkt. 15c 



CENTAUREA This important family of flowers is particularly 

 well adapted for border planting. The types cultivated for 

 their flowers have bulging calyxes from which many finely 

 cut petals expand. Others have a downy growth on their 

 leaves, making the foliage quite ornamental. All of them 

 are of easy culture from seed. 



Cyanus Double (Bachelor Button) [hA-2 ft.] This superb 

 class of Cornflowers produces handsome, large, double 

 blooms which are effective out of doors and make fine 

 bouquets.

 times completely covered with the daisy-like flowers. Their 

 colors are vivid in shades and combinations of purple, red,
