A Fine Garden Annual 
This double-flow’d Gaillardia is one of the 
most free-blooming, showy, and beautiful of 
our annuals. The plants start readily from 
seeds, begin to bloom early, and continue 
blooming until the ground freezes, rivaling 
the Calendula and Pansy. The flowers are 
produced on long stems, are double to the 
center, as large as a Chrysanthemum Aster, 
and come in rich colors, white, cream, yellow, 
red, variegated red and white, and red with 
yellow. If started in midsummer the plants 
will bloom during Autumn, endure the Winter, 
and make a fine display the next season. The 
firs, are showy in the garden, and last well 
when cut; for bouquets or floral designs. See 
page 35. All colors, 50 seeds 5 cents. 
Showy Musk Mallow 
A showy and very handsome 
perennial of the easiest culture is 
Malva Moschata, shown in the en¬ 
graving. Seeds germinate in five or 
six days, and the plants bloom free¬ 
ly the first season and remain, be¬ 
ing a hardy perennial. The flowers 
are large and very attractive, pleas¬ 
antly scented, and come in fine 
terminal clusters throughout the 
season. Young plants often spring 
up from fallen seeds. This is a 
splendid garden flower and excel¬ 
lent for beds or groups. The plants, 
two feet high, stool out, branch, and 
become a mass of big flowers, al¬ 
ways showy and admired. You 
make no mistake in getting this 
fine perennial. Colors: Pure Rose 
also Pure White, Separate or 
Mixed, 200 seeds 5 cents. 
A Fine Golden Annua! 
A very beautiful golden-flowered annual 
is Cosmea Klondyke. It’s massive laciniated 
foliage is dark green, and richly clothes the 
plant from the ground to the top. The firs, 
come in masses in late Autumn, at that time 
the plants have attained a height of 6 to 
10 feet, the top freely branched and very 
showy. This plant will retain it’s foliage 
firm and unaffected during a drought, while 
many other plants wilt and suffer. In a bed 
or border in the background this Cosmea 
can hardly be excelled for showiness and 
beauty Sow as early as possible in a warm 
sunny bed where plants are to grow and 
bloom. This will promote earlier bloom as 
transplanting retards development. 40 seeds.
