Flower Planting Guide for the South 
Golden Orange Calendula 
Baby’s Breath 
Gypsophila grandiflora 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
Baby’s Breath is one of the necessi¬ 
ties in every garden where flowers are 
raised for cutting. It grows rapidly and 
produces sprays of dainty flowers in 
white, pink, or red, and is used exten¬ 
sively for mixing with other cut-flowers 
of heavier and denser appearance. Flor¬ 
ists grow it in large quantities for that 
purpose. Frequent sowings should be 
made in order to provide a continuous 
succession of flowers as the plants rap¬ 
idly come to maturity and are usually 
cut off close to the ground when in full 
bloom, in order to enjoy their airy, 
dainty grace. 
KILGORE’S PURE WHITE. 
KILGORE’S DEEP PINK. 
KILGORE’S FIRE BALL. Crimson. 
Each of the above: Pkt. 10 c; 3 pkts. 25c; 
V 2 OZ. 35c; oz. 60c. 
Bachelor’s Button 
Centaurea cyanus 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
The Bachelor’s Button, or Cornflower, 
is very easily grown. The blue variety 
is the one most prized and is one of the 
clearest and finest blues found in the 
flower kingdom. Our selection of Bach¬ 
elor’s Buttons comprises only the double 
varieties which are much superior to the 
single types. 
KILGORE'S DAINTY MIXTURE. A blend of 
several charming dainty types, producing a 
range of colors that will delight, including the 
famous “Cornflower blue.” Pkt. 10 c; 3 pkts. 
25c; Y 20 Z. 35c; oz. 60c. 
Calendula 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
The Calendula is one of the finest 
winter flowers in the South. It is per¬ 
fectly adapted to cool conditions and 
reaches magnificent proportions in glori¬ 
ous color, such as is seen nowhere else 
in the country except under glass. It 
grows quickly from seed, transplants 
easily, and is not affected by the coldest 
weather which Florida can experience. 
Space the plants 18 to 24 inches apart 
and take off all buds from each stem ex¬ 
cept the center if the largest and finest 
flowers are desired for cutting. If a 
showy display is wanted in the garden, 
allow all the buds to develop. 
KILGORE’S GOLDEN ORANGE. Dark Or¬ 
ange. 
KILGORE’S SULPHUR QUEEN. Rich lemon- 
yellow. 
EXCELLENT MIXTURE. Made up of excel¬ 
lent sorts in shades of orange, yellow, and 
lemon. 
Prices of the above: Pkt. 10 c; 3 pkts. 25c; 
Vioz. 40c; oz. 75c; V^lb. $2.50. 
Calliopsis 
Hardy. Plant from September to February 
Bushy, wiry plants with large, loose 
clusters of yellow and dark crimson 
flowers, usually with a distinct eye in 
the center. Requires very little care and 
yields such a profusion of blooms that 
they may be cut generously without 
destroying the beauty of the bed. Plant 
them in groups, borders, or beds. 
KILGORE’S CHOICE MIXTURE. Choice va¬ 
rieties of the various yellow and brown shades.

Candytuft 
Hardy. Plant from September to February 
Charming clustered heads of daintily 
colored flowers. Nice for cutting but 
particularly desirable for edging walks 
and flower-beds. Grows 8 to 12 inches 
high and blooms during autumn, winter, 
and spring, preferring the cooler weath¬ 
er. It can be transplanted, but is better 
if sown where it is to bloom and thinned 
out to 6 inches apart. 
KILGORE’S BORDER GROUP. A mixture of 
various colors and varieties, containing some of 
the very best types. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 25c; y 2 oz•

Chaubaud strain, very superior to any 
other outdoor type heretofore offered.

months from sowing the seed. Each plant 
produces from ten to twenty stalks of 
huge, intensely fragrant flowers. Allow 
plenty of space, at least 10 to 12 inches 
for each plant.
