RAINBOW CORN 



(Japanese Maize) 



An improved, fancy strain, as 

 beautiful and decorative as the 

 Dracaenas. In some the leaves are 

 variegated like those of the striped 

 grass, in others there will be broad 

 stripes of crimson, yellow, white 

 and other rainbow colors. Noth- 

 ing like it for decorative purposes, 

 either for the garden or for cut- 

 ting where large effects are de- 

 sired, or in the center of a tropi- 

 cal bed, or a screen against a 

 fence, or a background in a bor- 

 der. 4 feet. Pkt., 25 seeds, 5c. 



ANNUAL GAILLARDIA 



Showy, daisy-like flowers in bril- 

 liant shades of yellow, orange and 

 scarlet. Double and single mixed. 

 Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c.

FEVERFEW (Matricaria) 



Price, each, per pkt.. 5c; any 3 pkts. . 12c. 



Dwarf Snowball. Charming little plants, 

 oval in shape, covered with clusters of pure 

 white double flowers; very" desirable for bed- 

 ding or for edgings. S inches. Pkt., 200 

 seeds. 



Dwarf Golden Ball. A fine display is made 

 by combining the white and golden. Both 

 are hardy perennials, blooming the first 1 sea- 

 son. Pkt.. 20 seeds. 



Golden Feather < Parthenif olium Aureum) 

 Low growing, with golden variegated foliage, 

 used for edgings. Pkt., 500 seeds. 1-16 oz., 

 10c. 



Tall Snowball. One of the prettiest things 

 I have ever seen was a single specimen of 

 this tall Feverfew. 3 feet tall, in bush form 

 which was covered for weeks with a mass of 

 double white blossoms. Hardy perennial. 

 Pkt., 300 seeds. 



FOUR OCLOCKS 



Four O'Clocks should be grown for the 

 children if for no other purpose, from which 

 they may pick freely, they so enjoy the 

 bright colors and sweet odor. In a large 

 garden they may be used effectively to 

 border walks, or as a background for lower- 

 growing plants. Mixed. 2 to 3 feet. Pkt., 

 25 seeds. 5c. 



JAPANESE KUDZU VINE 



A fast-growing hardy climber. The first 

 season it grows 10 feet, and later often makes 

 a growth of 50 feet in a season. The flowers 

 are rosy-purple and pea-shaped. In the 

 North the top dies in winter, but in the 

 South it becomes woody. For vigorous growth 

 and fine shade it is unsurpassed, but is not 

 hardy enough for the extreme North. Pkt., 

 20 seeds. 5c. 



JAPANESE HOP 



For a rapid growing vine nothing is better 

 than the Japan Hop. The foliage is luxuriant, 

 the leaves being smaller and more delicate 

 than those of the common hop, and curiously 

 marked with silvery and yellowish-white 

 streaks. Pkt., 5c.

FOXGLOVE OR DIGITALIS 



The Foxglove becomes more popular each 

 year. It is perennial and perfectly hardy, 

 very easily grown from seed and is fine for 

 shrubberies and other partially shaded places. 

 It sends up stately stalks 2 to 5 feet high, 

 covered with thimble-shaped flowers in varied 

 and beautiful colors. This is a strain of Glox- 

 iniae-flora, which rivals the gloxinia in odd 

 and varied shadings and markings. Splendid 

 mixed. 3 to 5 feet. Pkt., 400 seeds, 5c; 1-16 

 oz., 12c.
