a double center which stands up like a cushion. The outer row or crest is made, up 
of broad ray petals. This is the best of all Cosmos for cut-flowers as the blooms 
last a long time in water. The flowers vary in, their degree of doubleness, eome 
having the anemone center and others perfectly double. Most, artistic- and beautiful 
in either form. Pkt. (200 Seed), |Q ets.; '/ 4 oz., 60 ets.; '/ 2 oz., 90 ets.; oz.,

Finest Mixed 
House Culture 
Coleus is very highly 
valued on account of its 
brilliantly colored foli¬ 
age. It may be planted 
outdoors in, well-pre¬ 
pared beds or may be 
grown as pot plants. 
The plants are easily 
grown and can be had 
in good condition 
throughout the winter. 
They do not develop 
their best coloring un¬ 
less they have a sunny 
position. Grown in the 
open the soil should not 
be too rich. During the 
summer months the 
plants should be wa¬ 
tered regularly. 
Start the seed indoors 
in boxes during Febru¬ 
ary or March, covering 
with one-quarter inch 
of fine soil. As soon as 
the plants are about 
one-half inch tall trans¬ 
plant to small pots. Set 
in the open when the 
trees are in full leaf 
and the nights are quite 
warm. Condon’s Finest

Lachrymae 
Job’s Tears (Ann ual)

seeds of peculiar appearance,

for sore throat, goiter and 
teething babies. They are 
strung on a linen thread and 
worn around the neck as a 
chain. Pkt. (25 Seed), 5 ets.;
