V lrginicUi JIOCK The plants are covered

cession of blossoms may be kept up the whole season 
ly sowing at intervals through spring and summer.

Wallflower 
(Cheiranthus cheiri) An 
old favorite garden flow¬ 
er. The large, massive 
spikes of the Wallflower are very conspicuous in beds 
and borders and are very useful in making bouquets. 
Sow the seed early in hotbeds and while the plants 
are small prick them out into pots and sink in the 
earth. On approach of cold weather remove the 
pots to the house and the plants will bloom all 
winter. Although a woody perennial it is best to 
renew the plants from seed, ror they begin to fail 
after having bloomed one or two years. Tender 
perennial that will live through the winter in a mild 
climate; height about one and one-half feet.

Wilrl PnriimKpi* (Echinocystis lobata) This 
VVlia GUCUmoer is a useful climber where 
a rapid and vigorous growth of vine is desired. To 
cover or to screen an unsightly building, there is 
perhaps no annual climber better adapted for the 
purpose. The vine has abundant foliage, is thickly 
covered with white, fragrant flowers, followed by 
numerous prickly seed pods. Usually the plants 
are produced from year to year by self sown seed. 
Hardy annual. Oz. 20c; Lb. $1.50.Pkt. 5c. 
Wistaria Chinensis b^utffuiSfdrapid 
growing of the hardy climbers. When well estab¬ 
lished in good soil it will often grow fifteen to twenty 
feet during the season and frequently blooms both 
in spring and fall. The flowers are pale blue, pea¬ 
shaped and are borne in long, drooping clusters, 
often over a foot in length. The seed should be sown 
in mellow loam early in the spring, or in greenhouse 
or hotbed in winter and when plants are one foot high 
transplanted into permanent situations.. .Pkt. 20c. 
ntV»p»rr»nm ( Everlasting ) A free flower- 
Aeranmemum i„g plant of compact habit 
and of the easiest cultivation. The leaves are 
covered with a silvery down and the single or double 
flowers are pure white, deep purple or yellow. If 
gathered before fully opened and dried in the shade, 
the flowers will retain their beauty for years. Sow 
the seed in any good, well prepared 'garden soil 
where the plants are to remain. Hardy annual; one 
foot high. Mixed . .Pkt. 5c. 
Very showy plants with 
large, double imbricated 
flowers which, when fully 
expanded, might easily be 
mistaken for dwarf dahlias. 
There is much satisfaction in a bed of Zinnias, for 
when nearly every other flower has been killed by 
frost this plant is still in full bloom. Few flowers are 
moreeasily grown or bloom inoreabundautly through¬ 
out the season, and the wide range of color is not 
less remarkable than their unusual depth and rich¬ 
ness. Sow the seed early in spring, in open ground 
and transplant to one and one-half feet apart in 
good, rich soil. Half hardy annual; about eighteen 
inches high.
