popular. Dwarf and very bushy, it is the ideal 
bedding variety. Extremely double and almost 
ball-shaped flowers, in color tones not usually found 
in other types. The daintiness of its large number of 
tiny flower-heads (1£ inch) makes it particularly 
desirable for cutting.

type, and resemble Phlox Isabellina in color.

FANTASY MIXED (NEW) 
“All-American” for 1935. The new selection has 
flowers composed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals, 
large enough for massing, and small enough to lend 
themselves gracefully to flower arrangement. See 
photo on Novelty Page. Packet, 26c. 
To promote continuous bloom in the flower 
garden, all seed pods should be kept clipped. 
Also, every day or two, all fading blossoms 
should be cut, so as to prevent seed formation, 
as the setting of seed terminates the period 
of bloom. This is particularly true of Pansies 
and Snapdragon. A few annuals are strong 
enough to continue blooming without cutting, 
and among them are Marigolds, Petunias and 
Verbenas. Some Spring-blooming plants like 
Delphiniums, will bloom again in the Fall if 
all flower-stalks are cut immediately after 
flowering. Put the shears in your pocket 
when you step into the garden, and reap the 
reward of extra bloom over a long season.
