FLOWER SEEDS 



CLARKIA ELEGANS or Rocky Mountain Garland (Annual) 



Xhe plants send up a mass of slender upright branches that reach a height of about two feet. 

 Each branch is covered for almost its entire length with buds and flowers. The buds, 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. 



For the 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.

CLEOME ("Spider Flower") (Annual) 



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 seedmen. 

 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

 Flowers large and bell-shaped.

COLEUS (Perennial) 



Plants with richly colored foliage of maroon, green, crimson, yellow, etc. For groups on

 tender perennials, they attain perfection the first season from seed sown indoors; 1 to 3 feet.

 Glories are very desirable for beds or borders, as they form plants IH to 2 feet in diameter, 

 and about 1 foot high. The flowers are borne in great profusion and resemble very closely 

 those of the tall morning glories but 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. 25c; pkt. 5c

 will flower the same season from seed sown early; compact, bushy plants, about 2 feet 

 high, blooming abundantly during the summer and fall Pkt. 10c 



1993 New Double. This semi-double form of this hardy perennial is proving to be very 

 popular and valuable for cutting and for the hardy border: color bright yellow. {See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 15c 



1994 Harvest Moon. One of the finest hardy garden plants grown. It flowers the first sea- 

 son from seed sown early. Harvest Moon is an improved variety of the lanceolata grande 

 flora type, producing immense, long stemmed rich yellow flowers, shaded with orange, and 

 flowering in profusion during the summer; unequalled for cutting; grows anywhere. {See 

 illustration.) Per 500 seeds, 50c; pkt. 10c. 



1995 Mayfield Giant. This very fine perennial, of Australian origin, is a considerable ad- 

 vance on any strain yet introduced of this highly ornamental and very useful flower. It 

 produces a taller and more vigorous plant than the type, with longer and firmer stems and 

 larger individual blooms, of which the ray petals are broader and form a more perfect 

 flower. The color is intense yellow. Both for the border and for cutting we can strongly 

 recommend this excellent new strain Pkt. 25c 



CORN (Burbank's Rainbow) {Annual) 



1996 A highly decorative type of Corn. It is an annual, grows about 5 feet high and suckers 

 out, forming good-sized clumps. The foliage is striped with rose, purple, green and cream
