CANDYTTIPT-The Candytuft is a popular flower for cutting. 
Seed sown in the autumn produces flowers early in the spring. Seed 
sown in April will produce flowers in June. Successive plantings 
may be made and thus furnish cut flowers during the entire sum¬ 
mer. They are easily cultivated and look best in beds or masses. 
Mixture of all varieties and colors. 
CARNATION (Marguerite)—Finest double mixed. Beautiful 
long-stemmed flowers, sweetscented and of a large size. If given a 
slight protection they will live through the winter and begin blos¬ 
soming early in the spring and continue blossoming throughout the 
summer. Mixed colors. 
CENTUBIA (Bachelors Button)—One of the hardy, old fashion¬ 
ed flowers. One planting is usually sufficient as they re-seed them¬ 
selves and come up year after year. Cyanus, double mixed, all col¬ 
ors, including rose, blue and white. 
CELOSIA OR COCKSCOMB —Plants produce bright red combs 
which can be cut and dried for winter use. Its bright color will

sown out of doors in May. Thrives best in rather light soil. 
CLARKIA —A hardy annual growing about two feet tall. The 
branches are covered with bright colored flowers resembling minia¬

COSMOS —One of the notable fall flowers. A strong, tall-grow¬

heightened in effect by their foliage setting of feathery green. It is 
most effective when planted in broad masses, or long background 
borders against evergreens or fences. We offer only the choice, 
large-flowering strains. To make sure of flowering early, Cosmos 
should be started indoors and transplanted into dry, sandy, or poor 
soil, in a sunny situation.

produce flowers a month earlier than Mammoth Perfection.
