New Azalea-Flowered Godetias 
Wonderful Flowers that Rival the Loveliest Potted Azaleas 
Of all the hardy annuals for garden 
decoration, Godetias are unsurpassed for 
the brilliant effect they produce in beds 
and borders. The new Dwarf Azalea- 
Flowered varieties are also highly recom¬ 
mended for pot culture. For outdoor 
culture, the seed may be sown in the 
garden, the same as asters. When 
thinned to about a foot apart each plant 
makes a compact bush about a foot 
high. The big beautiful blossoms are 
produced in such profusion as to just 
about hide the plant. It is surely a 
revelation, and you will be surprised 
and delighted. They are especially 
recommended for shady locations where 
many other flowers will not bloom. We 
have the three following varieties to 
offer: 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOW¬ 
ERED, CARMINEA. Pink with crimson 
blotched center. So free flowering that 
when it is in full flower it is nothing but 
bloom. May be called an annual Azalea. 
Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOW¬ 
ERED, CORNELIA. Same as above, ex¬ 
cept that flowers are of delicate salmon 
color. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOWERED, MIXED. A fine mixture of colors. Pkt., 15c. 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOW¬ 
ERED, BRILLIANT. A gorgeous new 
variety with large flowers of dark crim¬ 
son. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c. 
Dwarf Double Azalea-Flowered Godetia Carminea 
LAVATERA (Annual Mallow) 
Ornamental 
Grasses 
TRIMESTRIS MIXED. The showy flowers and large downy leaves of these annual Mallows 
produce a most decorative effect in beds, hedges and background borders. The bushy plants 
grow to a height of 2% to 3 ft. The large cup-shaped flowers of charming white, pink, and rose 
colors measure 2 to 4 inches across. They bloom profusely during the entire summer and fall. 
Spikes of these richly colored flowers, 2 feet in length, make long keeping cut flowers, as the 
buds continue to expand in water. In habit they are rather spreading, but this is an advan¬ 
tage as they may be sown late to fill vacant spots following spring flowers. Mixture of colors, 
10c per packet; 3 pkts., 25c. 
ANNUAL GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower) 
HELICHRYSUM (Straw Flower)

ture of rare, useful and orna¬ 
mental varieties. Pkt., 10c; 3

Ornamental Gourds 
Helichrysum (Straw Flower) 
Remarkable for the profusion, size and brilliancy of their flowers, continuing in bloom from 
early summer until November. Excellent for beds, borders, or for cutting. A fine range of 
• colors, from creamy-white and yellow Shades to orange and crimson, both single and double. A 
fine mixture. Pkt., 5c. 
Monstrosum. The largest of the Everlastings. Beautiful Aster-shaped flowers that when dried 
retain much of their original shape and splendor. Popular for winter decorations, for which 
purpose the blossoms should be cut when about one-third open, tied in small 
bunches, and dried slowly in a cool, shady place, hanging the flowers down¬ 
ward to keep the stems straight. We can supply seed in the following separate 
colors. Fire Red, Golden Yellow, Crimson-Purple, Rose-Pink, Salmon-Rose, 
White. Pkt., 10c; 6 pkts. (one of each color), 40c. All colors mixed: Pkt.,
