Hyacinth-flowered Candytuft 
Candytuft (umbellata type) 
CANDYTUFT (iberis) 
Grandmother’s garden abounded with Candytuft, and it still holds its place, for the modern border is not com¬ 
plete without it. You can sow it where it is to grow or to fill out empty spaces in the garden, for edging the border, 
and in rockeries for color effect. For early blooms start in the hotbed in March, making successive sowings out¬ 
doors any time from May to July. 1 ft. All varieties, except the Hyacinth-flowered, are of the umbellata type.

GIANT MARGUERITE or MALMAISON GARNATIONS 
Even the ordinary strains of the Marguerite Carnations are lovely for cutting, but these giant strains of ours 
are remarkable for their large and beautifully formed flowers, many of them elegantly fringed and in some instances 
as large as our best greenhouse Carnations. Like the latter, our Malmaisons are delightfully fragrant and have 
very long stems. They bloom in three months from seed and then continuously until frost. To have flowers for 
the longest possible period, sow the seed in the hotbed in February, transplant several times, and set outdoors in May. 
White, Maroon, Yellow, Deep Rose, and Flesh-Pink. Each, pkt. 25 cts.

CANARY BIRD VINE {Tropceolum canariense) 
Effective for covering stumps, fences, stone walls, or unsightly 
places, growing quickly to a height of 10 feet. Flowers clear sulphur- 
yellow, finely laciniated at the edges, and at a distance appear like tiny 
canary birds perched along the vine. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 75 cts. 
CARDINAL CLIMBER 
A beautiful annual vine of rapid growth. The flowers resemble 
those of the cypress vine, but are much larger, and are produced in 
great quantities continuously through the summer. The delicately 
cut foliage contrasts beautifully with the lovely blooms. Splendid 
for covering stumps and trellises. 20 ft. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1. 
CELOSIA (Cockscomb and Feathered Varieties) 
The dwarf Cockscombs are showy in the border. The Feathered or 
Plumed varieties are especially attractive in large beds, and are useful 
for cutting. The flowers 
retain their color even 
when dry, and can be used in winter bouquets. Seed should be sown 
in the hotbed in March for early flowers; for succession sow outdoors 
in seed-bed in May and transplant when large enough to permanent 
place. Allow a space of 8 inches between plants for Cockscomb and 
18 inches for Feathered varieties. Give them rich ground.
