Cleome (‘‘Spider Flower’’) 
1965 Gigantea Rosea. Like many other garden annuals of merit, Cleome, 
or giant spider plant as it is sometimes called has been neglected for 
years probably because attention has not been directed to it by seeds- 
men. 
The feathery petals and long stamens give the flowers the appearance of an 
Orchid. Sow seed in May and when the seedlings are three or four inches high 
thin out to stand two feet apart. The plants grow very rapidly and attain a

Convolvulus or Morning Glory 
1980 Double-flowering. These beautiful climbing annuals are of very rapid 
and luxuriant growth; the flowers will come double, semi-double, and a 
few, perhaps, single. The colors vary; there are various shades of blue, 
white spotted with red, white marbled with purple and lavender, crim- 
son, pure white; etc. Mixed Colors...................... Pkt. 10c. 
1984 Convolvulus Minor or “*Bush’’ Morning Glory. These dwarf- 
growing Morning Glories are very desirable for beds or borders, as they 
form plants 1}4 to 2 feet in diameter, and about 1 foot high. The flowers 
are borne in great profusion, and resemble very closely those of the tall 
morning glories but they. remain open for a much longer period of time 
daily. In fact it may be said without exaggeration that they remain 
open practically all day, excepting in rainy weather. The mixture we 
offer includes “‘many self colors,” as well as striped and flaked varieties.

Clarkia Elegans 
or Rocky Mountain Garland Flower 
After almost a century of comparative obscurity, this plant has in recent years 
been greatly improved by our plant breeders through selection and hybridization, 
and from the original rose-colored flowers a number of new and beautiful hybrids 
have been evolved. 
The Clarkia is one of the most graceful plants grown. It produces a mass of slender 
upright branches that reach a height of about two feet, the foliage is bronzy-green. 
Each branch is covered for almost its entire length with buds and flowers. The buds, 
which are long and gracefully poised, resemble those of the Fuschia. The flowers are 
double, and for their daintiness of form, and delicacy of color, remind one of a garland 
of almond blossoms. 
As a cut flower for table decorations, few flowers are more satisfactory. If the 
s favs are cut before all the buds have opened, they will last for a long time, or until 
1 the buds have developed into bloom. ; 
Being a hardy annual, the Clarkia is easily grown. It will do well in any light gar- 
den soil, either in the open or in a partially shaded place. (See illustration.)
