retain all their natural color when dried and as 
the name indicates, are practically everlasting.

their natural brightness all during the cold win¬ 
ter months. The drying is a very simple opera¬ 
tion; they will dry thoroughly in about 10 days. 
Cut before fully expanded, tie in bunches and 
hang in warm, dry room.

ular shades, Packet, 10c.

elor Button, but very much larger and finer. One

is complete without this beautiful annual 
Ranges in color from pure white through pink

Salpiglossis 
Only nature can paint its wonderful colors. 
The blossoms are tubed shaped, much like a Pe¬ 
tunia, but rivaling the latter in beautiful col¬ 
ors displayed. Each flower is veined with a glint 
of gold and is the only flower to our knowledge 
displaying this odd characteristic. Sow seed in 
open ground in spring. Blooms in early summer 
and continues until frost. Try this once and you 
will always sow it. 
Best special mixture, all colors and sorts.

STOCKS 
The Stocks represent all the desirable quali¬ 
ties of a flower. The plants have good growing 
habits, fine dull glossy leaves. The flowers ap¬ 
pear on long, stiff stalks like small rosettes; are 
exceedingly fragrant and range through a most 
complete scale of all the soft distinct shades, 
such as white, yellow, flesh pink, rose pink, 
crimson, light blue and dark blue. The spicy 
fragrance of Stocks perfume the whole garden 
and the abundance of beautiful bloom adds 
greatly to its attraction. If you haven’t been 
growing stocks start this year and we believe 
you will not again be without them. 
Dwarf German 10 Weeks Stacks 
This is the earliest strain to come in bloom 
and while the plants are not so tall or flower 
stalks quite so long as Giant Perfection, they 
are very beautiful and desirable. We advise 
planting both varieties and you will have abun¬ 
dant bloom from early summer until freezing 
weather.
