A 



CANDYTUFT [hA-lft.] Somewhat like Sweet Alyssum, 

 both flowers and plants are a little more open and 

 larger. They are splendid for use in the border, and as 

 cut flowers. They bear quantities of single four- 

 petaled blossoms in terminal clusters. Plenty of sun- 

 shine and only a moderate amount of watering are 

 conditions that favor their best development. 



Umbellata Compact varieties liberally sprinkled with 

 flat clusters of small florets.

Perennial Candytuft (See Iberis) 



CANNA [tP-3 ft.] There is fine dignity in this stately 

 plant. Each stalk produces broad leaves of green or 

 bronze, topped by a cluster of large flowers of varied 

 and vivid colors. Usually they are started from roots, 

 but they can easily be grown from seed. The seeds, 

 however, are very hard and should be notched or 

 filed and soaked before planting.

Canterbury Bell (See Campanula) 



CARDINAL CLIMBER (Ipomoea Quamoclit Hybrida) [hA- 

 C-15 ft.] This rapidly growing climber attains quite a 

 height during the season if planted in rich soil in a warm 

 sunny place. The flowers, growing in clusters, are tubular 

 and expand into star-shaped rims. Their color is an intense 

 fiery red which shows off to advantage against the feathery 

 green of the leaves 34 oz - 40c; pkt. 10c 



Cardinal Flower (See Lobelia cardinalis) 

 Cardiospermtjm (See Balloon Vine) 



CARNATION (Dianthus Caryophyllus) [tP] Few flowers 

 surpass in beauty of form or delicious fragrance the richly 

 hued Carnation. The plants are branching but compact, 

 and the handsome blossoms are produced on blue-green 

 stems that are stiff but slender. The double flowers with 

 their thick waxy petals are spicily scented. 



Chabaud Giant [18 in.] This variety blooms six months 

 after seeding and continues throughout the summer. The 

 plants, robust and erect, supply handsome, double, clove- 

 scented flowers of extra large size. This type should not be 

 confused with the old, small-flowered Chabaud. 



Cardinal Red Salmon Deep Rose 



Yellow White

Enfant de Nice Mixed (20 in.) Slightly larger flowered, longer 

 stemmed and a little more spreading than Chabaud 

 Giant, but otherwise similar to it Pkt. 25c 



Marguerite [20 in.] This well-known variety blooms five 

 months after the seeds are planted and may be treated as an 

 annual. The vigorous plants bear deeply fringed, sweet- 

 scented flowers in a choice assortment of rich colors. 



Double Mixed y 2 oz. 60c; pkt. 10c 



Castor Bean (See Ricinus) 



Chinese Woolflower planted in rich soil makes 

 an excellent low-growing annual hedge. 



CELOSIA (Cockscomb) [hA] An odd and picturesque class 

 of plants having colored foliage and innumerable small 

 flowers and seed vessels which form a brilliant colored 

 mass. The vivid blossoms are sometimes gracefully 

 arranged like plumes and in other types form dense 

 clusters corrugated and frilled at the edges like cocks' 

 combs. They retain their brilliant coloring from midsum- 

 mer until frost. 



Dwarf Crested (Cristata) [10 in.] This little plant is al- 

 most over-powered by the large ruffled velvety crest that 

 rises above it on a central stem. This variety gives Celosia 

 the name "Cockscomb". 



Empress Large crimson combs, rich bronze foliage. 

 Rose Fine rose colored crests. 

 Yellow Rich golden yellow combs.

Feathered (Plumosa) [3 ft.] For grace and dignity the 

 Plumosa type is remarkable among Celosias. The plants 

 display numerous stately, elegant plumes. They are im- 

 pressive in the garden and are equally striking when dried 

 and used for winter bouquets. 



Golden Yellow Crimson

Childsi (Chinese Woolflower) [2 ft.] Upon the many 

 branches of this gay plant are borne, terminally, vivid 

 crimson flower clusters like balls of yarn. A single plant 

 forms a veritable bouquet of these odd blossom heads. 

 Crimson \i oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



CERASTIUM (Snowin Summer) [hP-R-6 in.] This luxuriant 

 fast growing creeper is particularly adapted to edgings, or 

 for sunny situations in the rock garden. At a distance the 

 silvery-white foliage and profusion of small white flowers 

 give the effect of snow. It blooms early. 



Tomentosum Pkt. 15c
