Catch Fly Plant 
Japanese Giant Chrysanthemums 
It has two plump 
leaf lobes, set nearly 
at right angles to each 
other, like the pages 
of a book held open, 
each lobe being frin¬ 
ged at the outer edge 
by a single row of 
sharp thorn spikes 
"which interlock like 
the gates of a prison 
behind the unfor¬ 
tunate insect which 
chances to alight up¬ 
on the surface of the 
leaf or even to brush 
lightly against one of 
the three tiny fila¬ 
ments which project 
upright of each lobe 
and which warn the 
plant of the presence 
of its live prey. A 
Silene 
most wonderful plant which everyone should' 
have to drive away the flies. No. 1112—Pkt. 10c; 
Clarkia 
handsome plants be sure 
order. No. 997—Clarkia. 
One of the prettiest 
and showiest of hardy 
annuals that bloom 
freely and have flow¬ 
ers of such various 
bright colors that a 
bed of them in full 
bloom is a beautiful 
sight; useful for 
hanging baskets, vases 
and edgings of beds of 
larger growing plants. 
Sow outdoors in early 
spring and grow in 
partial shade. The 
plants keep a con¬ 
tinuous bloom 
throughout mid-sum¬ 
mer to late autumn. 
This is one of the 
newest and latest 
varieties and it is en¬ 
joying a wonderful 
demand, for there is 
no flower more hand¬ 
some or more easy to 
grow than Clarkia. If
