bedding or borders, producing in great profusion and for 
a long time flowers which are bright yellow and rich 
brown, either self colored or with these colors and red con¬ 
trasted. Sow outdoors early in spring where the plants are 
wanted to bloom, covering seed one-half inch cfeep; thin 
to two feet apart. To secure an earlier bloom sow indoors 
and transplant. The tall, slender habit of growth makes 
neat staking desirable for best results.

producing an abundance of brilliantly colored single ray 
flowers with dark center. The flowers, which are about 
one and one-half inches across, vary from clear yellow to 
deep rich brown, tlie two colors often being beautifully 
contrasted in the same blossom. Long, graceful stems 
and very desirable for decorative purposes. Two to 
three feet high. Fine Mixed. Oz. 20c .Pkt. 5c. 
Lanceolata grandiflora. A very hardy perennial, blooming 
the first year and producing on very long stems a constant 
succession of rich bright yellow flowers two to three inches 
in diameter; exceedingly valuable for cutting and deco¬ 
rative purposes. Seed may also be sown in fall outdoors.

baceous plants of stately branching growtn and profuse 
bloom for beds and backgrounds. They produce long 
racemes of strikingly effective bell-shaped or saucer¬ 
shaped flowers of nen color. Usually grown as a hardy 
biennial, but if seed is sown very early indoors it may be 
treated as a tender annual. Sow' seed outdoors early in 
spring in row's about two feet apart covering w ith about 
one-fourth inch of fine soil firmly pressed dow'n. The 
plants succeed best in light, rich soil with good drainage
