ANEMONE 
(Windflower) 
GIANT FRENCH SINGLE 
MIXED. This lovely flower may be 
grown from seeds as well as bulbs. 
Our seed has been saved from an extra 
fine strain and contains a very choice 
mixture of colors. The seed may be 
sown in the fall or spring in seed bed 
or flats. We suggest that the seed be 
covered lightly with sand, then spread 
a thin cloth over the bed and water 
through this. The plants form bulbs 
which should be given the culture as 
recommended in our bulb catalog.

NEW SUNSHINE ASTER 
Giant California 
Neither the company of surrounding 
foliage nor a background of friendly 
flowers is necessary to enhance the 
beauty of this Sunshine Aster. The 
flowers, often measuring six inches 
across, give off such an airy, floating¬ 
like effect that one would suppose the 
Fairies had shared in their creation. 
Sunshine Aster is real* yet somehow 
fantastic with its loosely arranged 
lacy-like outer petals surrounding the 
disc from which show up tiny 
quills in a contrasting and harmonious 
color. There is thus produced in the 
respective shades offered various color 
combinations which are strikingly de¬ 
lightful. Carmine, Lavender, Mixed, 
White, Pink. 
All varieties, 25c per packet. 
BEGONIAS 
Begonias of the Semperflorens type 
take a very high rank among bedding 
plants; succeeding perfectly in full 
sunlight, they supersede all others in 
their ability to grow and bloom in 
positions partially or wholly shaded. 
They are also extensively used as pot 
plants. The neat compact bushes 
about 1 ft. in height are covered with 
brilliantly colored flowers practically 
all through the year. 
The seed of these handsome peren¬ 
nials should be sown in seed pans in 
fine soil composed of loam, leaf mould 
and sand. When sowing, first press 
down the soil with a small board or 
with the hand, scatter the seed on the 
surface and again press the soil firm, 
but do not cover the seed. Water 
with a fine misty spray or allow the 
water to soak up from below. When 
large enough, the plants should be 
potted or planted in boxes until time 
to set out.
