CYPRESS VINE (Ipomoea Quamoclit) 
A most beautiful rapid 
growing climber with del¬ 
icate dark green, feathery 
foliage and many bright, 
star-shaped, scarlet or 
white blossoms. Planted 
by the side of veranda, 
tree or stakes, and trained 
properly, there is no 
handsomer climber. 
Seed is usually sown 
outdoors early in spring 
in the row where the 
plants are to remain. 
Cover seed one-half inch 
deep. Germination will 
be hastened if the soil is 
warm and kept in moist 
condition. Thin the young 
plants four to six inches 
apart. Tender annual; 
About 15 feet high. 
Scarlet—A very deep, rich shade. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c. 
White—Clear paper white. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c. 
Mixed—The two colors above. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c. 
"DAHLIA 
Seed may be sown in spring in open ground after 
danger of frost is over, but for best results sow in 
shallow pans at any time from March to June, and 
transplant the seedlings to small pots. When strong 
enough and danger from frost is over plant out one 
foot apart. These plants will produce tubers which 
should be taken up in the fall and replanted the follow¬ 
ing spring: these roots will flower freely the following 
autumn. Tender herbaceous perennial, three to four 
feet high.

"DAISY 
Daisy, or Beilis Perennis—Plants of Double Daisy 
will bloom the first summer and will continue to bloom 
for years if given slight protection during the winter. 
They are very pretty when in bloom, and deserve to be 
grown much more than they are. They commence 
blooming in April and continue to bloom until summer. 
They are not very particular as to soil, but should be 
grown where they have partial shade.

and admired everywhere. Soak seed in warm water 
over night before sowing. Pkt. 10c. 
"DATURA 
Seed may be sown outdoors after danger of frost is 
over, but for early blooming sow in hotbed and trans¬ 
plant about three feet apart each way. Roots can be 
kept all winter in cellars. Tender annual; three feet 
high. 
Wrightii—Pure white at the center shaded into lilac 
and blue; magnificent large single flowers. In warm 
latitudes can be continued as a perennial. Pkt. 10c. 
DELPHINIUM CLIVEDEN BEAUTY 
Cliveden Beauty is the same beautiful light blue as 
the Belladonna Delphinium but is a highly improved 
strain. The flowers are larger and the plant a more 
robust grower, very even in height, making a striking 
show in the garden or when used for cutting. Pkt. 15c 
"DELPHINIUM 
Delphinium—Hardy Larkspur. Very decorative border 
plants ranging in height from the 18-inch Cashmer- 
ianum to the stately Hybrids, 5 to 6 feet tall, whose 
side shoots flower after the main spike has finished, 
thus prolonging the blooming period. If the flower spikes 
are removed as soon as they fade, new ones will continue 
to appear, at intervals all summer. The colors run from 
pure white to darkest blue. Some varieties have a 
black center, others show a pleasing contrast, in shades 
of blue, between the inner and outer petals. Stake all 
varieties when 18 inches high to prevent them from 
blowing down. 
★Butzer’s Portland Hybrids—This mixture is a won¬ 
der. The plants are strong and vigorous. The flower 
spikes are tall and graceful, covered from bottom to top 
with the most beautiful hollyhock-like flowers. The 
colors are from the palest lavender to the richest blue, 
some with white centers, others with black, reminding 
one of bees at work. Pkt. 15e

Pkt. 10c 
DIMORPHOTHECA—(Star of the Veit, 
African Daisy) 
Most of us know the African Daisies and have ad¬ 
mired their bright blossoms which are among the 
earliest to come in the spring. In a border or massed 
bed they are delightful, but for a really gorgeous 
display of colors in contrast, plant them with bedding 
Petunias. The showiest effect is obtained by using 
mixed colors of African Daisies, and the dark shades 
bedding mixture of Petunias, sowing the seed broad¬ 
cast or setting out the plants informally, giving the 
appearance of being broadcast. The effect is startlingly 
beautiful and this bed or border will be the showiest 
spot in the garden. Dimorphothecas thrive in the 
hottest climates, so they can be grown in any part of 
the country, or in the hottest corner of the garden.
