Heavenly Blue Morning Glory—C 
790 Heavenly Blue (Early Flowering’ Rubro Coerulea). One of the few 
flowers of true blue and probably finest of all morning glories. Flow¬ 
ers measure 3% to 4 inches across, deep blue with white throat. 
They blossom profusely and for a long season, opening in the morning 
and facing the sun. While many have easy success sowing seed in 
the open ground, others prefer to sow two seeds in a 2-inch pot in¬ 
doors in April and transplant to the open after the weather has 
settled in May, in gravelly, sandy soil, with southern exposure. Pkt., 
10c.

Myosotis (Forget=Me=Not)—A 
They are considered among the best spring flowers and grouped with 
Pansies and Daisies the most lovely combinations may be obtained. The 
tall varieties are of trailing habit and adapted to covering large patches, 
which they transform into a sea of blue. Respond to good treatment 
and flourish in shady, moist situations. The national flower of Belgium.

the ground. Makes excellent edgings and carpeting for beds or bor¬ 
ders of perennial plants. We list the seeds of Alpestris varieties 
among annuals as they are better treated as such by those who have 
no hot-bed or cold frame accommodations for wintering the yearling 
plants.

N asturtium—A 
Always one of the most widely planted annual flowers in American 
gardens, the nasturtium is gaining new importance from the improve¬ 
ments made by plant breeding. 
970 Nasturtium Golden. Gleam. This plant forms a vigorous, large 
bush, which throws out runners, averaging eighteen inches. Flower¬ 
ing begins as soon as the plant nears complete development, and at 
the time it is in full bloom the entire plant, including runners, is a 
blaze of color. The large, golden-yellow semi-double flowers average 
two and one-half to three inches across. They are borne on erect, 
stiff stems six inches in length. Consequently the flowers stand well 
above the foliage, an arrangement which adds immeasurably to the 
showy appearance of the plant. Pkt., 10c.

frame, the plants will begin blooming very early the following spring 
and continue their showy display throughout the summer.
