CLARKIA 
This hardy annual is of easy culture, bearing bright 
rose, white, or purple flowers in great profusion. The 
single type is native to California and is a wild flower. 
Seed sown in the fall will give early blossoms in the 
spring. Seed can be sown almost any time. The Ele- 
gans varieties grow 2 feet tall in spikes; the seed- 
lings should be pinched back twice to make bushy 
plants, once to 3 inches and again to 9 inches. Allow 
enough space in the garden; flowers are borne along 
the stems. The Pulchella varieties are more compact, 
and as the flowers are on pedicels they show less 
leaves.

mine double flowers along the stems. Pkt. 10c.
