wonderful 
A charming, 
hardy peren¬ 
nial, whic 
forms a dense 
carpet, close 
on the ground, 
producing 
crimson ber = 
ries in great 
profusion. As 
a house plant, 
however, 
nothing could 
be more at¬ 
tractive than 
a plant in 
fruit. 
Packet, 15 
seeds, 10c. 
and rapid that 
seeds sown in February or 
March will make nice little 
plants by June, and if plant¬

mine red, plants 2 feet high, the whole 
plant laden with flowers from base to 
summit—literally ablaze with the most 
handsome carmine-red fragrant blos¬

on a single plant. This variety does not 
close up in the daytime, but remains 
open all day; the fragrance is decidedly 
delicious. It is as easy to grow as a 
Petunia. If started indoors in early 
spring and planted out in May it gives 
a continuous display of blooms all 
summer and autumn. It can also be 
sown in the open ground. Packet, 5 c,
