2145 Chrysanthemum Annual 
Coronarium Mixed 
The Annual Chrysanthemums do best where the weather re¬ 
mains reasonably cool during - the summer. They are easily 
grown. The flowers appear within ten weeks after the seeds 
are sown, if planted early in the spring as soon as the ground 
can be prepared. Blooms continuously from June until Sep¬ 
tember. For fall blooming, sow during June and thin to stand 
12 to 15 inches apart in the row. A very fine garden variety 
including a wide range of colors such as white, rose, sulphur- 
yellow, golden yellow, orange, red, and maroon; 18 inches tall.

2157 Cobaea Scandens 
[Cathedral Bells} Annual Climber 
Of very rapid growth, 10 to 20 feet 
tall. In our northern climate the seed should 
be started indoors and the plants set out 
when the nights have become quite warm. 
The young flowers are light green, changing 
to rose-purple as they open up fully. They 
are quite large, borne on long stems and of 
bell shape. In warmer sections it will live 
outdoors for many years. To encourage an 
even and quick germination press the flat 
seeds edgewise into the soil so that the upper 
edge comes even with the soil surface. It 
is a good climber for covering tall unsightly 
fences or garden houses where plenty of shade 
is wanted. Equally as fine for providing 
shade for the porch. Pkt. (20 Seed), 10 cts.; 
■J4 oz., 25 cts.; Vz oz., 40 cts.; oz., 60 cts.

2151 Clarkia 
Double and Single Mixed 
Annual 
Clarkia is one of our easiest 
grown annuals, developing to 
perfection in a cool climate. 
The plants grow quickly and 
are in full bloom from 5 to 6 
weeks after planting. The 
plants make a branching 
growth and bloom very freely. 
The flowers are borne on long 
stems and are very fine for 
cutting. Clarkias, on account 
of their bright colors, are ex¬ 
cellent for mass planting. The 
mixture contains rosy purple, 
rose, salmon, white, and many 
other delicate shades in a 
complete and harmonious as¬ 
sortment. Sow the seed thinly 
and barely cover from view 
early in the spring. When 
the plants are about an inch 
tall thin to stand 4 to 5 inches 
apart. Pkt. (2,500 Seed), 10
