A hardy annual of more Ilian ordinary beauty. It crows 
about two feet high, branching freely and bearing a profu¬ 
sion of tho most lovely dowers, similar In all respects to the 
i'orget-mo-nots, though tho blooms are much larger and of 
finer color. It is al ways taken for a beautiful, large-flowering 
Lorgot-mo-not, and for bouquets and cut flowers It Is Indeed 
superior to It. Its color Is a deep, clear, brilliant blue with 
a pure white eye; one of tho rarest and most lovely shades of 
that color. It blooms early and continues all summer. Pkt. 
100 seeds, » cents.

If those members of the flower-loving fraternity who have 
failed with liouseplants would try the cultivation of some of 
our hardy out-door flowers as potplants,such as Antirrhinum, 
they would have little reason to complain of non-success. 
Many of tho so-called annuals will keep up a succession of 
bloom for one. two, and even three seasons with proper care 
to keep them from ripening seed, and under this treatment 
will bloom much more profusely, and produce much liner 
blossoms than if grown In the open air in the usual way. Be¬ 
ing hardy, they can better endure occasional neglect and tho 
dry atmosphere of tho house than can more tender plants 
and are not so liable to be injured by insects. Torn Thumb is 
tho best of all the Antirrhinums, very dwarf, growing only 8 
Inches high, thickly studded with beautiful spikes of gay-col¬ 
ored flowers, oningc. scarlet, rose-white, maroon, striped, etc 
Pkt 5350 seeds, 4 cents. 1 ’ c *
