THUNBERGIA (Black Eyed Susan) 
This ornamental creeper will climb as well as twine if 
offered support. It is decorated by an abundance of fine 
triangular leaves and produces quantities of tubular flow¬ 
ers with broad expanded overlapping lobes about 1 inch 
across. The blossoms vary from white through buff to 
deep orange and are set off by a solid black center. A 
fine ground cover in sunny spots or overhanging a bare 
bank. It should be grown as an annual. Mixed, Pkt., 10c, 
TITHONIA (Mexican Sunflower) 
In a mild climate, wdiere the season is long, this bril¬ 
liant Mexican plant makes a fine show. Many tall branch- . 
ing stalks rise from the base carrying large leaves and 
numerous blooms like small sunflowers. They are of a 
dazzling orange-vermillion color. It is handsome among 
shrubs in the sun and supplies good flowers for cutting. 
Speciosa, Pkt., 10c. 
TRITOMA 
Sometimes called Red Hot Poker. Flowers range in 
color from deep yellow to coral, orange and scarlet with 
some very striking combinations. Easily grown from seed 
by planting in flats and keeping thoroughly moist until 
germinated. Transplant w'hen three or four leaves are 
formed. Hybrida Mirabiles, Pkt., 10c. 
VALERIANA (Garden Heliotrope) 
During the summer months when many plants are 
likely to suffer from lack of moisture, Valeriana remains 
in flower—it is so vigorous and hardy. Its silvery green 
foliage spreads considerably, and its numerous stalks carry 
feathery clusters of tiny sweet-scented florets. Since it 
needs little care, it is useful in spots like a rocky bank 
that receive scant attention and yet should have decora¬ 
tion. Mixed, Pkt., 10c. 
VENIDIUM 
FASTUOSUM—This is an annual of such easy culture 
that anyone can grow and enjoy it. Its brilliant orange 
flowers, 4 inches across, with shining black center, dis¬ 
played to perfection above the soft gray, woolly foliage, 
make this an unusually showy plant. Ht., 2% ft. Pkt., 10c 
VERBENA 
VIOLET (Viola Odorata) 
For this well-beloved and fragrant favorite no intro¬ 
duction nor description is necessary—the sweet Violet is 
known to all. It is a true perennial, and once the plants 
have become established they thrive for years in the same 
bed with little care, but like most perennials the seeds are * 
rather slow in germinating, therefore, do not disturb seed 
box or beds until sufficient time has elapsed. Sow in win¬ 
ter or errly spring in lignt ioam mixed with leaf mould. 
Violets succeed best in partial shade,

VIRGINIAN STOCK 
This was a favorite in gardens in the old days, and 
modern flower lovers should make use of it more often 
than they do. It can be sown quite early, and as summer 
comes on it will provide a pretty, fresh effect as an edging 
or in a low r border. The dwarf plants are light green and 
produce quantities of four-petaled single flowers with a 
faint perfume. These come in shades of red and white. 
The plants bloom for many weeks.

ZINNIAS 
There is perhaps no better illustration of the advance¬ 
ment in plant breeding than the glorious Zinnias grown 
today. From the small flowers of a few years back have 
been evolved the marvels of size, color, form and wonder¬ 
ful freedom in flowering which is seen in the latest crea¬ 
tion®. The Zinnia is nne of the most satisfactory flowers 
to grow through the summer. It is extremely colorful, 
stands considerable heat and has few pests. As a cut 
flower it i® unexcelled. 
Zinnias are best grown from seeds sown where the 
plants are to remain. The seeds are easily sprouted if 
sown in warm soil. In preparing the soil, irrigate, pul¬ 
verize and level, sow the seeds in a shallow furrow and 
firm rhe soil to them. If the seeds are sown in freshly 
turned soil, there should be sufficient moisture to sprout 
them without sprinkling. If sprinkling becomes necessary 
to sprout the seeds, keep tne soil thoroughly moist to pre¬ 
vent surface crusting until the plants are up. Knox’s Zin¬ 
nias are the very finest and latest improved selections. 
Hundreds of customers write • o us each year, telling us of 
the wonderful flowers they have produced from Zinnias. 
DAHLIA FLOWERED 
The large size, fullness, of petals, fine color range and 
good keeping qualities have all contributed to the popu¬ 
larity of this strain. The flowers resemble in appearance 
the Decorative Dahlia and for this reason it is called the 
Dahlia Flowered Zinnia. When in full bloom they often 
measure 5 to & inches in diameter.

CALIFORNIA GIANTS 
Since its introduction a few years ago this type of 
Zinnia has rapidly gained in popularity. The enormous 
flowers, often measuring 5 to 6 inches across, are flat and 
have smaller centers than the Dahlia Flowered strain. The 
petals are symmetrically formed presenting an extremely 
graceful appearance. Tlie plants attain a height of 3 to 4 
feet. This is a strictly California introduction.

GIANT VERBENA 
(tP) Do you remember a sunny bare place that was an 
eyesore in the flower border last summer? Or some other 
spot that would have been improved by low-growing plants 
with a dash of color? You will make no mistake by choos¬ 
ing Verbenas for such a need in your next year’s garden. 
These ever-popular dwarf creeping plants produce a 
. garnish of somber, dark green foliage enlivened by many 
fine clusters of star-shaped blossoms with rounded lobed 
petals. The colors are decidedly refreshing in their bril¬ 
liancy. . 
Though half hardy, it should be used as an annual and 
will flower from midsummer to frost from seeds started 
early in the spring. 
HYBRIDA'GIANTS 
A new strain of Verbenas with the same characteris¬ 
tics as the mammoth except that each flowerlet in the 
cluster is much larger. This gives the blooming plant a 
more brilliant effect.

Good cut flowers, the buds all opening in water, valu¬ 
able as a winter pot plant for the house. Mixed, Pkt., 10c 
VIOLA (Tufted Pansy) 
There are few bedding plants so dependable, colorful 
and persistent in blooming over a long period as the Tufted 
Pansies. While the individual flowers are smaller than the 
regular Pansy, they are produced in such profusion that 
the beds are a sheet of bloom through the entire season. 
Like the Pansies, they are gross feeders and thrive best in 
light, but rich soil.

SCABIOUS FLOWERED ZINNIA 
The flowers, somewhat less than medium-sized, bear 
a remarkable resemblance to the annual Scabiosa, from 
which they get their name. The plants are extremely free 
flowering, 2 to 2% feet high, giving a wealth of bloom 
throughout the summer. Pkt., 15c. 
. FANTASY ZINNIA 
As different from the ordinary stiff, formal Zinnias 
as one could imagine. The delicate, lacy petaled flowers 
lend an air of friendly informality to the garden or flower 
arrangement. Ideally suited to any decorative use, the 
rounded, medium-sized, shaggy flowers are borne profusely 
on 2 y 2 - to 3-foot plants, in a wide and varied color range. 
Pkt., 15c. 
SHOWING—EVERY FLOWER GARDEN SHOULD INCLU 
DOUBLE GIANT ZINNIAS 
(2 y 2 ft.) Here is the class to which the Zinnias are 
indebted for the favor they enjoy today. In habit the 
plants are tall, branching, and vigorous. The flowers are 
usually brighter than the Dahlia-Flowered type and are 
nearly as large. Normally they are quite similar in shape, 
but the center is somewhat more elevated, and the rows 
of slightly convex petals are more regular, giving the 
bloom the appearance of being well shingled. This group 
will give great satisfaction.

SMALL FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
LILLIPUT OR POMPON 
If you have room for two rows of Zinnias, sow the 
seeds of the Dahlia Flowered or California Mammoth in 
the background, and Lilliput Pompon in the front row. 
This makes a charming combination and will give a 
greater variety of flowers for cutting purposes. Pompon 
Zinnias are easily grown and the flowers compare favor¬ 
ably with the Pompon Dahlia. If you plant more than 
one color, Salmon Rose should predominate. This variety 
is very popular among commercial growers for cut flow* 
ers. Grows 2 feet high.

in delightful shades of rose, cream, yellow, carmine red 
and pink. Pkt., 10c. 
HAAGEANA MEXICAN HYBRID ZINNIAS 
The small-flowered Mexican Zinnias have a charm all 
their own. The smaller flowers lend themselves to bedding 
and make a brilliant display and yet have stems long 
enough to make fine bouquets for small vases and bowls. 
The mixture contains many attractive colors and color 
combinations. Mixed colors. Pkt., 10c.
