flowering, often showing as many as twenty of the fringed blooms 
on a single plant at one time. Unlike many of the older sorts, which 
lose their flowers as soon as they are fully developed, Dazzler holds 
its blossoms for a long period—sometimes flowering profusely for a 
month or more. Pkt. $1, 3 pkts. $2.75.

described as a giant Shirley growing in bush form. Seeds may be 
sown early, under glass, in pots, and the young Poppies transplanted 
with the soil intact, or they may be sown outdoors in April and May. 
Try also sowing in August or September and they will carry along 
outdoors until early summer—just as you would treat pansies.

cut-flowers. The plant itself is of bushy habit, with thick, feathery 
foliage, and bears numerous flowers in a glowing, very striking orange- 
scarlet. When fully expanded, the flowers measure 6 inches across 
and are borne on stems 3 feet high. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
Two Annual Rudbeckias 
Kelvedon Staf. A Striking annual, and a valuable one for 
-- cut-bloom, because the large, cone-centered, 
daisy-like flowers are on such long stems. As a specimen plant in the 
border, too, it is arresting, for it is a rampant grower, developing into 
a bush 3 feet high. The flowers vary somewhat in form and color, 
but all have dark brown centers, surrounded by a shining chocolate- 
mahogany or brown zone, with deep orange or yellow on the outer¬ 
most part of the florets. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1.

flower, one of these scarlet plumes alone makes a delightful decoration.

July to October. Blue Bedder has a more compact form, with deeper 
blue flowers than the ordinary S. farinacea. Excellent for cutting.
