CLEOME ("Spider Flower") 



1965 Gigantea Rosea. 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 seedsmen. 

 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 height 

 of from three to five feet. (See illustration.) Pkt. 10c
