Didiscus Coeruleus 



"Blue Lace Flower" 



2155 None of the easily grown garden annuals have 

 within recent years attained greater popularity than the 

 Blue Lace Flower. It is extensively grown by cut 

 flower growers in the vicinity of New "York to supply 

 the fashionable Fifth Avenue trade. The Blue Lace 

 Flower was introduced into the United States from 

 Australia and is a welcome addition to our garden 

 annuals. The plants grow about 2 feet high, 

 roducing graceful subdivided foliage. The 

 ovely. umbel-shaped flowers, which are com- 

 posed of a great number of small florets, 

 range from 2 to 3 inches across. The color 

 is the most beautiful imaginable, a clear 

 coerulean or heavenly blue — a rare and 

 beautiful shade. 



The Blue Lace Flower is of easiest cul- 

 ture. Seed sown outdoors after danger 

 from frost will produce plants which 

 should bloom continuously from July to 

 October. It may be grown in the green 

 house or conservatory for winter 

 blooming. It is also desirable as a pot 

 plant Price per pkt., 23c.
