Kochia Tricophylla 



Mexican Fire Plant or Summer Cypress 



2542 A popular annual, sometimes known as Belvidere, Mock, Cypress, etc. 

 It is easily grown from seed, forming oval bushes 2 to 214 feet high, 

 densely clothed with small, feathery, light-green foliage, deepening in 

 color as the summer advances until the whole plant assumes a fiery crim- 

 son hue. The small numerous flowers, borne in the fall, are also of a 

 bright red color. An attractive plant at all times, either in garden beds 

 or in pots, placed at intervals in beds of white Sweet Alyssum, or among 

 "Dusty Millers," the effect is very fine. (See illustration.)

Larkspur 



Annual Henderson's Tall Branching 



(Consolida Candelabra fl. pi.) 

 Popular garden annuals. 

 •This splendid class grows 2 to 

 3 feet high and bears flowers 

 on long stems, rendering them 

 of exceptional value for cut- 

 ting purposes. The spikes of 

 flowers are of varied shades 

 of red, blue, white, etc. They 

 are of easy culture, thriving 

 in almost any soil — but a 

 sunny situation suits them 

 best. They are of long-con- 

 tinued bloom, keeping up a 

 bright display until cut down 

 by frost. (See illustration.)

Hardy Everlasting Peas

 borne in large clusters. They are peculiarly adapted to rough places, to 

 scramble over rocks and bushes; spendid for cutting. The flowers are 

 without odor. (See engraving.)

Lavatera, Rosea Splendens, "Sunset 



A Beautiful, Robust Garden Annual of Easy Culture 



2618 The Lavateras are exceedingly popular in Europe where they are 

 generally known as Mallows. Lavatera "Sunset" is by far the 

 most striking of its kind, bearing large bowl-shaped flowers of a 

 charming rose-pink color. These richly colored flowers may be 

 cut on stems two feet or more in length, which with their foliage 

 make a beautiful decoration for large vases. The flowers are borne 

 abundantly throughout the summer and fall; making Lavatera 

 "Sunset" very desirable for beds on the lawn or as border decora- 

 tion. The plants form branching compact bushes two to two and 

 one-half feet in height; well furnished with bronzy-green foliage, 

 and stems which make a fine foil to the shining rose-pink flowers. 

 Our friends should plant freely seeds of this beautiful flowering 

 plant. Sufficient room should be allowed for the development 

 of the plant; a space of two or three feet being not too much to 

 allow where the soil is good. (See illustration.) Pkt. 15c. 



Your pleasure in owning an old-fashioned hardy garden, will be greatly enhanced if you start it yourself from seed. See
