Canary-Bird Vine ® 



Tropaeolum canariense 



1749 A beautiful, rapid growing annual climber with charming 

 little canary-yellow blossoms bearing a fancied resemblance 

 to a bird with its wings half expanded. The sprays of 

 flowers are very artistic and, when cut, keep in good condition 

 for a week. Pkt. 10c; \ oz. 30c; oz. 50c. 



Candytuft— iberis ® 



Charming for beds, borders, rock gardens, etc., and the larger 

 the mass the better the effect. The plants grow about 12 inches 

 high and will succeed in any light, airy position. Seed may be 

 sown any time during the spring. They bloom in about eight 

 weeks from the time of sowing, and in order to keep up a succession 

 of bloom two sowings should be made at intervals of about two 

 weeks. For best results thin the plants to stand not less than 

 six inches apart. While useful for cutting, it is for their bright 

 effect in the garden that they are mainly grown.
