CANDYTUFT 
Candytufts have long 
been among the most 
. highly prized of garden 
annuals. The best effect is produced by raising the plants in masses, 
the seeds being sown where the plants are to bloom. Sow in rows 
six to eight inches apart, and thin out the plants so that those re- 
maining will have plenty of room. The soil should be rich, and when 
blooming time comes keep the plants well watered, especially if it 
be a dry time. The plants are very branching, and it is essential 
at times to prune away some of the shoots in order to increase 
the size of the flowers. 
Fine Mixed. Six inches high, blooms the entire season; fine 
for edging. Mixed colors. 
INDIANA CO., PA. Everybody is highly pleased 
with your Seeds. They say they are the finest lot of 
seeds ever seen in this section of the country. I say 
so too. W. W. BRADY. 
Calliopsis

fusion and for a

red contrasted. 
Choicest Mixture 
Canterbury

rich soil. Should be 
transplanted in the 
Fall or given

Winter weather. 
Flowers large, 
bell-shaped and of 
striking appearance. 
Colors white, and 
many shades of blue,

Double Mixed, 
The Centaureas are an exceedingly interesting genus 
of plants, embracing annuals, biennials and perennials 
which though botanically alike are very different in ap- 
pearance. Some are very valuable for the beauty of 
their silvery white, velvet-like foliage, the flowers being 
unattractive; others are highly prized for the beauty of their flowers. They are easily grown 
from seed. 
Double Mixed. {Batchelor' s Button). Produces larger, more globular flowers than the com- 
mon variety. 
CENTAUREA 
or BATCHELOR’S BUTTON 
CELOSIA 
A class of plants having colored foliage and in which the innumer- 
able small flowers and seed vessels together with their supports form 
a very brilliantly colored mass, sometimes gracefully arranged like 
or COCKSCOMB plumes and sometimes more dense, being corrugated and frilled at 
the edge like a cock’s comb. They form the gayest possible decora- 
tion, retaining their brilliant coloring for a long time after being cut. Very commonly grown out 
of doors but also adapted for the green house or conservatory. Half hardy annuals. Plant in 
light, rich soil and give plenty of moisture. 
Dwarf Mixed. A mixture of the best dwarf growing sorts. 
COCKSCOMB See Celosia 
COLUMBINE 
{Aquilcgia). Every well regulated garden has a space 
devoted to hardy perennials and no bed of perennials 
would be complete without a due proportion of Colum- 
bines. They are of the easiest culture and when once established will furnish for many years a 
magnificent display of the- handsomest flowers each spring and summer. The beds should be kept 
clear of weeds and given each year a liberal dressing of well rotted manure. Hardy herbaceous 
perennials; two to three feet high. 
Mixed double, best and finest colots.

THE FINEST SEED THEY EVER HAD. If my patrons have met with 
the same success with their seed as my wife has with hers which she bought 
of you, I do not think it will be worth while to try and sell next spring, 
for it will take so much ground to put the plants on. I think most of the 
seed produced two plants each. It is simply the finest seed we ever had.
