Cyclamen 



Well known and uni- 

 versally admired tuber- 

 ous rooted plants pro- 

 ducing exceedingly handsome red and white 

 flowers for indoor winter or spring blooming in 

 greenhouse or conservatory. Seed sown in 

 spring, by autumn will produce a little bulb. 

 If this is placed first in a three inch pot and 

 later repotted as required in a five or six incli 

 pot it will produce excellent blooms the follow- 

 ing spring. Tender perennial; one foot high 



Margaret. A clear white Pkt. 25c.

 colors Pkt. 15c. 



Persicum giganteum, mixed. Beautiful fohage and 

 profuse bloom; each flower is two to two and 

 one-half inches long. Very choice Pkt. 20c. 



{Ipomoeaqiianioclit) A. 

 most beautiful climber 

 with delicate dark green, feathery foliage and an 

 abundance of bright, star-shaped, scarlet or white 

 blossoms which contrast most effectively with 

 the graceful foliage. Planted by the side of ve- 

 randa, tree or stakes, and trained properly, there 

 is no handsomer climber. Seed is usually sown 

 outdoors early in spring in the tow where the 

 plants are to remain. Well pulverized soil should 

 be used and the seed covered with about one-half 

 inch of fine soil firmly pressed down. Germina- 

 tion will be hastened if the soil is warm and 

 kept in moist condition. Thin the young plants 

 four to six inches apart. If very early blooming 

 is desired, seed should be started indoors. Tender 

 annual; about fifteen feet high.

A favorite for autumn flowering. 

 The flowers are so symmetrical 

 and perfect and the range of 

 colors so wide and varied that they will always be 

 popular where display is wanted. Seed may be 

 sown in spring in open ground after danger of 

 frost is over, but for best results sow in shallow 

 pans at any time from March to June, and trans- 

 plant the seedlings to small pots. When strong 

 enough and danger from frost is over plant out 

 one foot apart. These plants will produce tubers 

 which should be taken up in the fall and re- 

 planted the following spring; these roots will 

 flower the following autumn . Tender herbaceous 

 perennial.

Y\ • (Bellis perennis) Charming little plants for 



11a IC^ edgings and borders. The flowers of the im- 

 *'^***'^J' proved varieties we offer are very large and 

 borne on long, stiff flower stalks, making them very suitable 

 for bouquets. With careful cultivation nearly seventy-flve 

 percent are double. For best results sow seed early in hot- 

 bed and when plants are large enough transplant to a rich 

 soil in a cool and partially shaded situation, setting the plants 

 six inches apart. If plants are started early indoors they 

 will flower the same season, but bloom more abundantly 

 in the spring if sown in autumn and the plants wintered 

 over in cold frames; or can be set out in the open border 

 and protected with mulching. Tender perennial; about six 

 inches high.

 doors after danger of frost is over, but for early blooming sow

 way. Roots can be kept all winter in cellars. Tender annual; 

 three feet high.

r« 1 1^ li • (California Poppy) The 



r.Q/^nQOf>Ol t71A state flower of California. It 

 J^0V^110^11\/lt.^tCl, ig fully as valuable as the 



common Poppy for garden ornamentation since it blooms 

 through a much longer season. A bed in full bloom of these 

 saucer-shaped flowers in various shades of yellow with orange 

 center gives a brilliant color effect. The foliage is flnely cut 

 and has a bluish tinge, delicate and very attractive. Sow 

 seed where plants are wanted to bloom as they do not bear 

 transplanting well. Use well pulverized soil, make the rows 

 one foot apart and cover the seed with one-fourth Inch of fine 

 soil firmly pressed down. When the young plants are about 

 two inches high thin six to eight inches apart. Hardy annual; 

 about one foot high. 



Bush (Hunnemannia) A variety of unusual merit. Leaves are 

 coarser and larger than the common kinds. Flowers are about 

 three inches in diameter and are formed of broad, bright 

 yellow petals with wavy edges. Stems ten inches long. In the 

 northern states for early blooming and largest flowers the 

 plants should be started in pots and transplanted outdoors. 

 When once in bloom one will be amply repaid for the trouble 

 since the flowers are remarkably brilliant and continue in 

 bloom longer than other varieties which start more readily.
