Where You Buy Them 



COSMOS [hA] Every gardener delights in these choice plants 

 for late summer and autumn flowering. They have feathery light 

 green foliage and are used to advantage in clumps for screens or 

 backgrounds. The flowers, of a delicate texture with broad 

 petals often overlapping and fluted, are poised terminally on long 

 graceful stems suitable for cutting. The plants do well in any 

 sunny spot, but bloom more profusely in poor soil which discour- 

 ages excessive root growth. 



Early Double Crested [3 ft.] Some of the flowers have at- 

 tractive, raised, central crests of small petals which completely 

 cover the discs.

 blooms.

 Orange H oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Orange Flare [3J^ ft] A new variety, distinctive and striking. 

 The golden-orange flowers are fine for cutting, and the bushy 

 plants are especially good at the back of the flower border. (See 

 page 49 for illustration and further description.) Pkt. 25c 



CYNOGLOSSOM (Chinese Forget-me-not) [hA-2 ft.] Too few 

 people know this thrifty plant which is such an addition to a 

 garden border. The long graceful branches are well covered 

 with blossoms which resemble the Forget-me-not in form, but 

 are larger. Their color is rich turquoise blue. If kept cut for 

 bouquets the blooming season is long. They are easy to grow. 



Amabile, Blue H oz. 40c; pkt. 5c 



CYPRESS VINE (Ipomoea Quamoclit) [hA-C-8 ft.] A rapid- 

 growing climber with soft deep green feathery foliage. The flowers 

 are slender little trumpets with star-shaped rims. Due to its 

 twining habit it will readily climb a stretched cord or light trellis.

DELPHINIUM [hP] One of the greatest charms of hardy Lark- 

 spurs is in their shades of blue which range from soft rosy lavender 

 to violet and deepest indigo. The dwarfs are valuable in the 

 border while the magnificent tall varieties are stately and beauti- 

 ful in front of a shrubbery background. Above the deeply cut 

 dark green leaves rise long floral spikes. 



Dwarf Chinese [2 ft.] A short hardy type desirable for low borders 

 or even for bedding. It has the merit of reaching its full develop- 

 ment the first season from seed started early. The plants are 

 dainty in form with cosmos-like foliage and produce single 

 spurred flowers in rather loose sprays. 



Azure Fairy Charming soft sky blue. 



Blue Butterfly Blossoms intense gentian-blue. 



Each of the above: J^oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Tall Hybrids [5 ft.] Handsome sorts adapted to back- 

 grounds. The long stalks are well decorated with broad, 

 deeply cut, bright green leaves and carry long floral 

 spikes. Plants grown from early sown seed will flower 

 late the first season, but reach their full development 

 the second year and thereafter. A fine succession of 

 spikes if they are kept cut as they fade. 

 Belladonna A delightful shade of silvery blue. 

 Bellamosum Rich, deep and intense blue. 

 Each of the above: Pkt. 15c
