Coleus 



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-gTeen. 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 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, either in the open or in a partially shaded place. (See 

 illustration.)

Convolvulus 



or Morning Glory 



1984 Convolvulus Minor or 

 "Bush" Morning' Glory. 

 These dwarf-growing Morn- 

 ing Glories are very desirable 

 for beds or borders, as they 

 form plants 1 14 to 2 feet in 

 diameter, and about 1 foot 

 high. The flowers are borne 

 in great profusion and resem- 

 ble very closely those of the 

 tall morning glories but they 

 remain open for a much 

 longer period of time daily. 

 In Tact, it may be said with- 

 out exaggeration that 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., 30c: Pkt. 10c. 



1990 Convolvulus Major Climbing' Morning' Glory. These beautiful 



annual climbers are of easy culture and produce freely all summer 



long large funnel-formed flowers of lovely combination of coloring. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground. Height, 15 to 20 feet. 



Mixed Colors Oz., 25c; Pkt. 10c. 



1951 Special Offer. One packet each of the six named varieties 75c 



Clematis 



1957 Paniculata. One 



of the finest hardy peren- 

 nial climbers. Of robust 

 habit, and covered from the 

 ground to the summit with 

 pure white fragrant flowers. 

 The flowers are followed by 

 pretty seed pods of bronzy- 

 red; 12 feet Pkt. 10c 



Cleome 



("Spider Flower") 



1965 Girfantea Rosea. 

 Cleome, orgiant spiderplant 

 as it is sometimes called, has 

 been neglected for years; 



Erobably because attention 

 as not been directed to it 

 by seedsmen. 



The feathery petals and 

 long stamens give the flow- 

 ers the appearance of an Or- 

 chid. Sow seed in May and 

 when the seedlings arc 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 il-
