ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS—(Continued) 
Geranium 
The brilliant colors of the flowers and the 
exquisite zone or horseshoe markings of the 
leaves of some of the varieties, render the 
Geranium very desirable for pot culture as well 
as for bedding out of doors and for growing in 
window boxes. 
Sow in a pot or box in the house in rather 
light soil, preferably containing a little leaf mold 
and sand. Keep as near 65° F. as possible. 
Water moderately, and as soon as the third leaf 
appears, pot in two-inch pots. 
Double and Single Mixed—The seed we 
offer will produce a large percentage of double 
flowers in many beautiful shades. Pkt., 15c;

(Giant Yellow Tulip Poppy, or Bush 
Eschscholtzia) 
Fumarlaefolia—This is by far the best of the 
poppy family for cutting, remaining in good con¬ 
dition for several days. Seed sown early in May 
will, by the middle of July, produce plants cov¬ 
ered with their large buttercup-yellow poppy¬ 
like blossoms and never out of flower until hard 
frost. The plants grow about 2 feet high, are 
quite bushy, with beautiful feathery glaucous 
foliage. Pkt., 7c; !4 oz., 15c.

Everlasting or Eternal Flower 
Helichrysum 
Mixed—These are of the most beautiful 
colors: pink, white, red, yellow, lavender. They 
bloom on good, strong stocks, standing 3 to 4 
feet high and are as beautiful as any of the 
annuals you can have. Cutting these just as the 
buds commence to open, they retain their 
delicate colors perfectly and remain beautiful for 
several years. These are the genuine everlasting 
flowers. Plant liberally of these. Cut large 
quantities of the just opening buds and retain 
them for the holidays and for special occasions. 
Add a few green fern leaves or Plumosus fronds 
and you will have most beautiful bouquets for 
all occasions. Pkt., 5c; oz., 15c; oz., 25c.

of this. It can be planted with lawn grass

Dear Sir; 
Your seeds are the best of all I have tried.

vegetable garden turned out just fine. 
Yours truly, 
Mr. George Weberg 
Marine on Saint Croix, Minn.

Giant Imperial Mixed 
Larkspur, or Delphinium 
Annual Varieties 
The annual varieties are very free bloomers 
and produce large spikes of flowers, white, pink, 
rose, light blue, dark blue and violet. In some 
varieties the flowers are double, in others single. 
The beautiful plume-like foliage is very orna¬ 
mental. 
Giant Imperial Mixed—Great advancement 
has been made in this new and valuable type of 
Larkspur in the past few seasons. Especially 
fine for cutting, as it produces flower-stems 
3 to 4 feet long, branching from the base of the 
plant. Very popular on account of its upright 
Delphinium-like form. Pkt., 8c; !4 oz., 25c. 
Double Rocket—One foot in height, mixed 
colors. Pkt., 5c; A oz., 20c. 
Mignonette 
Seeds of Mignonette may be sown at any sea¬ 
son, so that a succession of flowers can be se¬ 
cured. Seeds sown early in the garden will give 
flowers through the summer. Very few cultivate 
the sweet Mignonette compared with the many 
that might show their love for this sweet little 
flower. Annual. 
Sweet—Well-known, fragrant. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 20c. 
Mourning Bride Scabiosa 
(Pin Cushion Flower) 
Scabiosa or Sweet Scabious—An old-fash¬ 
ioned but most attractive flower. Its great 
abundance and long succession of richly colored, 
fragrant blossoms on long stems make it one of 
the most useful decorative plants of the garden. 
Desirable for cutting as well as for beds and 
borders. 
Seed may be sown in place as soon as ground 
can be worked; or for earlier blooming sow in 
hotbed early in spring and transplant. About 
two to two and one-half feet high. Pkt., 7c; 
A oz., 25c.
