 Pkt., 3c. 



Alvssum, Sweet Scented. Of all small white flowers this one is one of the best and most useful. Florists would 

 be at a loss to find anything to take its place, and a garden would miss it always. In bouquets it gives a finish that is to 

 the bouquet what lace is to a dress. Pkt., 3c. 



.\moranthus. Tricolor, or Joseph's Coat. The foliage of this plant is brilliant and pleasing. Should be used in 

 masses to get the effect of the contrasting colors. Pkt., 3c. 



.\ntlrrhinum (^Snap Dragon). Succeeds best in light, rich soil; used very largely in Europe and the famous gardens 

 of England. Pkt., 3c. 



^ Asters (Mixed). One of the most popular and useftd of all our annuals. 

 For early flowers the seed may be sown in the house or greenhouse in March 

 or April, and transplanted in the open ground in May. However, as the 

 Aster is a Fall flower, and the late blossoms are the finest, it is best to sow 

 the seed in the bed thinly early in May and transplant. Half hardy annuals. 

 Pkt. 3c. 



Bachelor's Button (Centaurca Cyanus). These bright flowered plants 

 of hardy nature and easy culture, yet esteemed by all, the most attractive

 showj', easily grown, hardy annual, producing a profusion of blooms; excellent 

 for cutting and massing in beds. Pkt., 3c.

 from beyond the Rocky Mountains. They bloom freely and have flowers of 

 such variety of bright colors that a bed of them is a beautiful sight. Used 

 in hanging baskets and vases, also for borders in beds. Sow in open garden in 

 early spring in partial shade. Pkt., 3c. 



Convolulus Minor or Dwarf Morning Glory. This plant needs no 

 further description than to say it is the dwarf variety of the well-known tall

 as Cosmos. Sow the seed in March, April and May, and will bloom in Sep-
