SELECTED FLOWER SEED—Continued 
No. 298. Heliotrope 
No. 305. Lobelia 
These half hardy annuals, usually about six in¬ 
ches high are charming plants, well adapted for 
bedding, pots or rockeries. They make a neat 
edging for beds of white star-like flowers and are 
very effective in masses, being covered with 
flowers a long time. They are grown extensive¬ 
ly in hanging baskets. The flowers are usually 
blue with lighter center and are borne in neat 
clusters, each irregularly lobed flower being about 
five-eighths inch across. Seed may be sown out¬ 
doors after danger of frost is over ; or start the 
plants in pots, in greenhouse or hotbed, early in. 
spring and transplant in May to place outdoors., 
Cover seed very lightly. 
NO. 305. FINEST MIXTURE — Pkt. 10c i 
% oz. 35c. 
Half hardy perennial; 1% to 2 feet high. 
Splendid border and bedding plants, highly es¬ 
teemed for the fragrance of their branching clus¬ 
ters of small flowers. The seed is hard to start 
and should be sown early in the spring, in mellow 
soil indoors, and when plants are one to two 
inches high, put into pots. Transplant to bed 
when three to four inches high. They thrive 
in a sunny location and need plenty of water 
when in bloom. While it is a perennial it will 
not stand any frost and is therefore started 
afresh every year, unless plants are removed 
to the house before frost comes. Can be started 
from cuttings.

shakes and colorings. Sow seed 
% inch deep, any time from 
early spring until early August

No. 302. Larkspur 
Quick growing and free-flow¬ 
ering annuals which produce 
stiffly erect spikes of beautiful 
flowers in great profusion. They 
are strictly annuals, being dis¬ 
tinct from the Delphinium or 
Hardy Larkspurs in this respect. Sow seed % 
inch deep as early in the spring as possible 
where they are to bloom. When the young 
plants are well started, thin out or transplant 
to stand 6 to 12 inches apart. Very showy and 
easily cultivated. 
The plants do best in cool and moist ground. 
Larkspurs are admirably adapted for borders or 
beds, but they are also very useful for cutting.

ture of the best tall annual Larkspur about 3

LATHYRUS 
No. 307. “Love-in-a-Mist”— 
Nigella 
One of the prettiest old-fashioned annuals. It 
will grow well even under adverse weather con¬ 
ditions and withstands considerable heat and 
drought. The flowers come in blue and in white, 
and this thin, moss-like foliage runs close up to 
the blooms. The large seed-pods are quite or¬ 
namental and attractive. Nigella is wonderfully 
well adapted for mass planting or for making 
borders, and it is just as good as a cut-flower. 
Sow in April or May in light soil and thin to 
stand 10 inches apart. The plants grow 12 to 
15 inches high, blooming 8 to 10 weeks after 
sowing. 
No. 303. Everlasting Peas 
An easily grown, hardy perennial climber with 
Sweet Pea like blooms, though smaller and lack¬ 
ing the same fragrance. They produce for many 
weeks a succession of blossoms in clusters of 
eight to ten each. They increase in bloom and 
foliage each season. Plants die down late in the 
fall and start again in the spring. 
Sow seed early in spring, in well prepared soil, 
©over about one inch with fine soil firmly pressed 
down. Suitable for covering stumps, fences, and 
to grow on trellises. Vines grow 8 to 10 feet.

arise in continuous succession the stately blooms, 
on stems 3 feet high. They prefer rich, moist 
soil. Do not disturb plants after they are once 
established. If the flowers are cut as they ma¬ 
ture, they will continue to bloom from June until 
frost.
