VIOLA CORNUTA (Tufted Pansies) [hP-R-6 in.] Those who 

 do not know the Viola often mistake it for a small- 

 flowered Pansy. It belongs to the same great Violet 

 family, but it is distinctly different. It is very hardy, and 

 for that reason it is one of the best edging plants for the 

 permanent border or rock garden. Over neat tufts of foli- 

 age the dainty flowers are gracefully poised on slender 

 stems. Frequently the petals of the blossoms do not over- 

 lap as they do in many Pansies, and the spur or horn of 

 the lower petal is more pronounced. 

 White Glistening white. Yellow Bright gold. 



Blue Perfection A fine light blue. 

 Any one of the above: Y% oz. 45c; pkt. 15c 



Jersey Gem The best deep violet-blue Pkt. 25c

VIRGINIAN STOCK [hA-6in.] This was a favorite in gardens 

 in the old days, and modern flower lovers should make use 

 of it more often than they do. It can be sown quite early, 

 and as summer comes on it will provide a pretty, fresh 

 effect as an edging or in a low border. The dwarf plants 

 are light green and produce quantities of four- 

 petaled single flowers with a faint perfume. These 

 come in shades of red and white. The plants bloom 

 for many weeks. 



Mixed Oz. 35c; pkt. 5c 



VISCARIA (Rose of Heaven) [hA-12 in.] Another 

 of the colorful annual flowers which the older 

 generation may recall in gardens when they were 

 young. The neat tufted plants with pale green 

 leaves bear terminal flowers resembling tiny single 

 wild roses. Throughout the summer there is a wealth 

 of blossoms in shades of red, white, and blue. 

 Mixed .Pkt. 10c 



WALLFLOWER [hhB] This branch of the Stock or 

 Gilliflower family is a great favorite throughout 

 Europe ; it should be one of the garden's treasures 

 in the milder sections of this country. In our £• 

 Northern States even the early varieties may not J? 

 flower out of doors before frost, but if taken up and :0F 

 potted they will furnish beautiful blooms indoors. 

 They come in wonderfully rich tones of red, yel- 

 low, and brown and are deliciously perfumed. 



Single Earliest [12 in.] Four-petaled single flowers 

 with a sweet fragrance characterize this group. The 

 stocky plants branch near the base and send up 

 quite erect stalks with thick lance-like leaves and 

 rather open floral spikes. 

 Golden Gem A clear golden yellow flower. 

 Paris Brown Handsome soft light brown coloring. 

 Vulcan Flowers in a rich deep blood-red shade. 

 Any one of the above: Y oz. 30c; pkt. 10c 



Double [20 in.] Many shades of orange, yellow, and 

 mulberry are to be found in this type of wall- 

 flower. Each plant normally produces a single 

 vigorous stalk with drooping dark green leaves 

 and a tapering spike thickly set with double flow- 

 ers. It makes a fine accent plant in the front of 

 the border. 



Mixed H oz. 50c; pkt 10c. 



WHITLAVIA (California Canterbury Bell) [hA-12 in.] 

 This native of California is a blue flowering plant that 

 does well everywhere, and it should be grown more 

 generally. The leaves which are heart-shaped and toothed 

 form a dense group above which rise delicate hairy stalks 

 with curving sprays of flowers at the top. The blossoms 

 are little bells, their flat, five-lobed margins of violet- 

 blue intensified by their clear white interiors. Each 

 flower soon fades, but the continued succession of bloom 

 keeps the plant in color for many weeks. 



Gloxinoides Blue M oz. 40c; pkt. 10c 



Wind Flower (See Anemone) 



Woolflower (See Celosia) 



XERANTHEMUM (Everlasting) [hA-18 in.] When winter 

 comes, the person who has planted this dainty strawflower 

 may have a lasting remembrance of his garden's summer 

 beauty. The erect plants are graced with silvery foliage and 

 carry on long slender stems double flower heads about 1 Y 

 inches across. These have one or two rows of ray petals 

 around a dense central tuft of shorter, tubular florets. The 

 exterior ray petals come in shades of white, pink, and 

 purple, while the tufts are usually ivory white. 



Double Mixed Y oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Yarrow (See Achillea) 



Pompon Zinnias make a pretty border planting for the taller 

 varieties. These are the Double Lilliput.
