Desirable Climbers 



The Moon Flower and Morning Glory illustrated on the page opposite, are among the best known and 

 most desirable of annual climbing plants. They are of rapid growth, easy culture and for growing on fences, 

 trellises, etc., are unsurpassed, not only for their foliage, but also on account of their attractive flowers. {For 

 list of varieties and prices see page 85.) 



Mourning Bride 



This charming old fashioned garden flower with its unusual but pleasing snades of color is deserving of 

 a place in every garden. The flowers are borne on long, slender stems and, as a cut flower, will be found very 

 desirable, not only on account of their graceful appearance, but also because of their excellent keeping qualitie-^ 

 • after being cut. The very double, half round flowers are composed of closely grown tubular florets from whicli 

 protrude dainty, light colored stamens which contrast very effectively when flowers are of deeper shades. The 

 plants are of easy culture succeeding in average garden soil and produce from midsummer until frost, ver}- 

 attractive flowers of many shades and colors. {See further description page 86 and colored plate page 87.)

 tubular or trumpet shaped, fiery red 

 flowers are borne in clusters and make a 

 brilliant showing from July until late in

Zinnia — Dahlia Flowered 



This new giant flowered type has 

 petals which overlap in such a manner as 

 to give the flowers the appearance of a 

 decorative dahlia. The flowers, although 

 not so brilliant in color as those of the 

 older type, are many of them in ex- 

 quisite shades of rose, lavender and old 

 gold. The plants are strong and vigorous 

 growing and produce an abundance of 

 blooms throughout the summer and early 

 fall.

Nasturtium 



It is doubtful if any other garden 

 annual will give as much satisfaction with 

 as little trouble and expense as Nastur- 

 tiums. They are of easy culture, requir- 

 ing only a light sandy soil, a sunny situa- 

 tion and plenty of water for perfect devel- 

 opment. In color one may find an almost 

 endless range from sulphur yellow through 

 shades of rose to scarlet, crimson and ma- 

 roon. Many of the flowers are beauti- 

 fully blotched or marked. 



The dwarf varieties are very desirable 

 for borders or edgings and the trailing 

 sorts if given support may be used for 

 covering arbors and trellises. They may 

 also be grown in window boxes with good 

 results. {See further description and list 

 of varieties, page 86)
