GYPSOPHILA "Angels Breath" 

 Gypsophila Paniculata. Also called 

 "Baby's Breath." It is extensively 

 used for decorating, its mist-like 

 sprays setting off a bouquet as dainty 

 lace does a lady's dress. Hardy per- 

 ennial. 11 feet. Pkt., 300 seeds, 5c. 

 Double Gypsophila. New and very 

 desirable. The spray is just a little 

 heavier because of the double flowers, 

 but loses none of its dainty or grace- 

 ful effect. Hardy perennial. Pkt., 

 50 seeds, 10c. 



Gypsophila Annual Mixed. Sow at 

 different times throughout the season, 

 and always have a quantity to use 

 for decorating. Pkt., 500 seeds, 5c; 

 1-16 oz., 12c. 



FREESIA 



New Hybrids. These beautiful plants, 

 though generally grown from the 

 bulbs, may be easily raised from seed 

 and made to bloom within a year. The 

 flowers are deliciously fragrant, cut 

 well and are adapted to design work. 

 White and mixed colors. Pkt., 40 

 seeds, 6c. 



GERANIUM 



New California Geranium. Seedling Geraniums 

 almost always give, some new varieties, and being 

 easy to cultivate they are interesting to grow. This 

 mixture contains a splendid new strain of California 

 Zonale varieties in shades of blush pink, crimson 

 and scarlet. Pkt., 40 seeds, 6c. 



Lady Washington Geranium, or Pelargonium. Pkt., 

 10 seeds, 15c.

 graceful, finely cut foliage serving nicely for a 

 decoration of green. A good honey plant. 1 foot. 

 Pkt., 400 seeds, 5c. 



GOURDS 



If you have an odd corner or an old brush heap, 

 trail the gourd vine over it. Its fruit has many uses, 

 but if for no other purpose raise it for the little 

 ones. They much enjoy the striped and odd-shaped 

 fruits — Calabash, Bottle, Dipper, Dish Cloth, Hercu- 

 les Club, Nest Egg, Sugar Trough, and many other 

 sorts. Mixed. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5c; large pkt., J oz., 

 12c ORNAMENTAL GRASSES 



For ornamenting the border, for summer cutting, 

 and for the winter bouquet, these are indispensable. 

 This mixture includes beautiful feather and striped 

 grasses and many other choice varieties, some an- 

 nual, others perennial. Large pkt., 5c. 

 GLADIOLUS 



It is interesting to see the endless variety of 

 colors and fantastic markings that come from the 

 seedlings and one often gets valuable new varieties. 

 This is a mixture of three very choice strains. 3 

 feet. Pkt., 65 seeds, 5c. For bulbs, see Plant De- 

 partment. KENILWORTH IVY 



Pretty for hanging baskets. It comes quickly 

 from seed and grows under severest neglect. Pkt., 

 300 seeds, 5c. ICE PLANT 



A trailing plant with curious foliage, covered with 

 glossy globules, looking like minute drops of dew. 

 Pkt., 300 seeds, 5c.

 pretty blue flowers and graceful sprays for decorat- 

 ing. Pkt., 5c.
