These bright, graceful flowers are yearly growing in 
favor. Plants grow from 12 to 18 inches high and bear a 
profusion of bloom, each flower being belted and zoned with 
the most clear and vivid of colors. This intenseness of 
coloring has earned them the name of "Painted Daises.”

Storm Petrel This is a hardy perennial, with finely cut, 
fern-like foliage, and dwarf growth. It blooms at 
all times of the year if kept in pots, and out of doors, 
until after hard frosts have killed almost everything 
else. It is a very profuse bloomer, and the pretty, 
rosette-like Mowers are of pure white, very large and 
double. It bloomes early the first year from seed, 
and makes a fine plant for both summer and winter.lO& 20

Cherianthus, Fairy Queen 
Ne\V Marguerite G e htaureas. 
For an early summer garden flower nothing surpasses 
these superb new Centaureas. Each plant produces scores 
of flowers which are borne on long wiry stems, and ale ex¬ 
ceedingly graceful, while for cutting, for vases, or corsage 
wearing, no flower can surpass them. Flowers 2 to 3 inches 
across of the most lovely texture and superb fragrance. 
Sow seed in open ground very early: the plants will soon be 
up and blooming and continue for several months. Their 
beauty and value may be judged when we say that they- are 
superior in every way to Carnations, not only in beauty and 
usefulness for cutting, but in fragrance as well. They grow 
like a weed in any situation. Per pkt.

close relative of the Stock 
and Wallflower. One of 
those bright flowers that 
give a quick return for one’s 
care, blooming a month 
after seed is sown, either 
in garden or pots. One who 
has never seen them does 
not realize how bright and 
pretty their little clusters 
of maltese-cross-shaped 
flowers are. They form a 
of bloom, and 
1 bouquets, filling 
baskets, etc., they are 
11 st t he flower one needs in 
quantity. Bright, without 
beingbig.andcheerful with¬ 
out being gaudy. Very easy 
to grow, and sweet-scent¬
