" l_OOK AT ME." 
The following is the dcBciipxiou gl% 
en by W. S. Bassett. the well-knowD 
horticalturist. i 
It ia a hardy, perennial vine of ran 
and exquisite beauty, which btoomi 
early in June from seed sown In April 
and bears in the greatest profttston in 
verted, pea-shaped flowers from 
to. 2V2 inches la diameter, and ranging 
in color from a rosy violet to a red^ 
dish purple, with a broad feathered 
white marking through the center, 
while the large buds and back of the 
flowers are pure white, making It ap ' 
pear as if one plant bore many differ I 
ent colored flowers at onetime. Oc 
caslonally plants produce pare wbltti 
flowers, while others are broadly mar ' 
gined with a white feathering. The! 
flowers are produced in the greatent! 
abundance, sometimes six to eight in 
a cluster. The stem and foliage arc' 
ver^ graceful, and of a delightful odor. 
It 19 well adapted for ev<:ry garden 
purpose, and especially as a climber, 
running from six to eight feet in a sea- 
son. It will bloom until frost, and, if 
potted, will no doubt flower freely in 
the house. One of its most attractive 
features is the way in which the 
flowers look up at you in the face. 
Every imaginative person sees faces 
in the pansy, and this is even more 
suggestive in Centrosema. This ia 
the reason it has been given the name- 
*■ Lookat Me." Pkt- lOo- 
Grace, daintlnessand brilliancy are the characteriatfca 
of this pretty flower, with its yellow heart e xircled 
EARLY FLOWERING COSMOS 
with broad daisy -like petals, carried on long, slender stems which rise from a clood of feather j 
foliaee. It is very pretty for Taacs, and lasts often a week in tlic honse when out. A couple of years 
ago the Cosmos bloomed with the Chrysanthemum, and, being rather more tender, often died an 
untimely death by frost just at its first blossoming, so that it was almost useless to plant it in 
Northern sections, but since this Early Flowering' stra.in has been produced it may now be had in 
bloom from July to November. It i^ such a strong, vigorous grow cr and its fine frlnge-lilte foliage 
is such a pretty bacttgronnd for its lovely spreading flowers of white, pink, crimson or rosy purple 
bat it can,hardly be spared from any garden. It grows with the greatest freedom in any soil, but repays right royally the Ijest care you can 
rive it. It grows so last you can almost see it. and blooms with the greatest freedom. The plants should be set about three feet apart, and 
iopported by a strong stake, for they are easily bent by the wind. It is really one of the most »atislactory of annuals. Price, pkt. 10c. S pktB
