 ing calendula. The flowers are of a light sulphur color, with creamy 

 white stripes, the stripes being arranged with great regularity. The 

 plant attains a height of about one foot, and is bushy, compact and

 tinuous bloomer. It is a worthy addition to my list of choice an-

 few flowers possessing such a shade of blue. The foliage is delicate 

 and ornamental. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 

 LARKSPUR. Giant Hyacinth Flowered.- These splen- 



tiums, which are offered in mixture, are of the Tom Thumb or dwarf did annual larkspurs grow to a height of two feet or more, and bear 



type, and it seems like a contradiction of terms to call them Giants 

 of California. The term "Giant" refers, however, to the flowers, 

 which are of a large and handsome type, in full variety of color and 

 markings, and equal to anything in the world in point of brilliant 

 beauty and great size. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents.

 candytuft, than which there is no more available bedding plant. The

 ance when the flowers are massed. This candytuft attains a height 

 of about one foot, or somewhat less, and is one of the best flowers 

 for cutting that can be found. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
