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. The flowers are double, and 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 sal isfactory . 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.)
