Clarkia Elegans 



or Rocky Mountain Garland Flower 



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 Fuchsia. 



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 sprays are cut before all the buds have opened, they will last for 

 a long time, or until all the buds have developed into bloom. 



Being a hardy annual, the Clarkia is easily grown. It will do well in any 

 light garden soil, either in the open or in a partially shaded place. (See 

 illustration.)

The flowers are double, and 



Convolvulus 



or Morning Glory 



1084 Convolvulus Minor or 

 "Bush" Mornlnd Glory. 



These dwarf-growing Morn- 

 ing Glories are very desirable 

 for beds or borders, as they 

 form plants 1 H to 2 feet in 

 diameter, and about 1 foot 

 high. The flowers are borne 

 in great profusion and resem- 

 ble 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 with- 

 out 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. Mixed Colors Oz., 30c. i Pkt. 10c.

Clematis 



1957 Paniculata. One 



of the finest hardy peren- 

 nial climbers. Of robust 

 habit, and covered from the 

 ground to the summit with 

 pure white fragrant flowers. 

 The flowers are followed by 

 pretty seed pods of bronzy- 

 red; 12 feet Pkt. 10c. 



Cleome 

 ("Spider Flower") 



1965 Gitfantea Rosea. 



Cleome, or giant spiderplant 

 as it is sometimes called , has 

 been neglected for years: 

 probably because attention 

 has not been directed to it 

 by seedsmen. 



The feathery petals and 

 long stamens give the flow- 

 ers the appearance of an Or- 

 chid. 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 height of from 

 three to five feet. (See il- 

 lustration) Pkt. 10c.
