Flower Planting Guide for the South 
Helichrysum 
Helich rysum - Strawflower 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
Large, showy flowers of straw-like 
texture which retain their brilliant col¬ 
ors when dry, making them useful for 
decorative purposes in winter when they 
will keep indefinitely. The plants should 
be sown where they are to bloom and 
thinned out 1 foot apart. When drying 
for preservation, cut with long stems 
and hang them in the shade, with their 
heads down, so that the stems will dry 
straight. Plant seed % inch deep.

taining fiery red, canary, silver, rose, salmon, 
and blue. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 25c; y 2 oz. 45c; oz.

Giant Larkspur 
Hardy. Plant from September to February 
This is the annual form of the always- 
popular Delphinium, and blooms quickly 
from autumn-sown seed. The range of 
color is much more extensive than in the 
perennial type, producing some spikes a 
foot or more long, like enormous hya¬ 
cinths, in all shades of blue, pink, red, 
and white. The seed should be sown 
about Vs inch deep, and the seedlings 
thinned to stand from 12 to 18 inches 
apart. Larkspurs bloom about 60 to 70 
days from the time of sowing seed. They 
like plenty of fertilizer, full sun, and an 
abundance of water.

Lupines - Lupinus 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
This is an annual. Plants make decor¬ 
ative, palm-like foliage and stems cov¬ 
ered with bristly hairs. Flowers are pea¬ 
shaped, borne in spires of varying length. 
They include a wide range of color, em¬ 
bracing blue in many shades, pink, 
white, and yellowish tones. Exceptional¬ 
ly desirable for cutting and bedding. 
Thin the plants to 12 inches apart. They 
like full sun but will flourish in partial 
shade. Their one requirement is abund¬ 
ance of water during the blooming sea¬ 
son. Fertilize very little if at all.

Double Marigold 
Tender. Plant from September to April 
These, tall, aromatic plants, with fern¬ 
like foliage, produce gigantic, double, 
frilled flowers of much greater size and 
substance than the old-fashioned types. 
They make a splendid garden show and 
are magnificent when cut. Plant the 
seed % inch deep and thin or transplant 
the seedlings 1 to 2 feet apart.

Mignonette - Reseda 
Hardy. Plant from September to March 
A famous, old-time, sweet-scented 
garden flower valuable for mixing with 
brighter scentless blooms. It makes long 
spikes of small, fuzzy, greenish flowers 
tinged with brick-red and yellow and con¬ 
tinues in bloom over a long season. Sow 
the seed as early as possible where the 
plants are to bloom, as Mignonette can¬ 
not be transplanted with any great de¬ 
gree of success. It will endure partial 
shade and considerable dryness, although 
it likes plenty of water at blooming¬ 
time. 
GRANDIFLORA IMPROVED. Pkt. 10c; 3 
pkts. 25c; V 2 OZ. 35c; oz. 60c. 
Morning-Glory 
Tender. Plant from September to June 
A rapidly-growing vine which will 
quickly cover lattice-work, trellises, and 
unsightly fences. It makes good porch 
shade with fine, large, heart-shaped 
leaves, and covers itself with large, 
salver-shaped flowers of many lovely 
colors. They thrive in warm weather and 
bloom continually when once estab¬ 
lished, the flowers opening early in the 
morning and closing before noon. Plant 
thinly, 1 inch deep, and thin out to 4 
inches apart.
