WAYSIDE GARDENS 
CLARKIA 
The enormous improvement in the Elegans class, which now in- 
eludes a wide range of really beautiful colors, has brought Clarkias 
much into favor. They are not only very largely used in the border, 
but magnificent specimens four feet or more in height are grown in 
pots for the conservatory decoration. For a display in the open 
ground, sow from March to May, or in September for blooming early 
in the following summer. August or early September is the best time 
to sow for spring flowering under glass. 
Sutton’s International Prize (Elegans) Varieties

cially valuable for town gardens, where they flourish even under 
adverse conditions.

CORNFLOWER - Centaurea 
Cornflowers are the hardiest of annuals and will grow any¬ 
where. The Pink is a charming color, and our special Mixture 
contains an extraordinary variety of beautiful shades. 
11134. Double Blue. Flowers of intense color; true “Bache¬ 
lor’s Button” shape. Per pkt., 19c. 
11127. Sutton’s Special Mixture. A fine selection of brilliant 
colors and extra full flowers. Per pkt., 32c. 
COSMEA - Cosmos 
Cosmeas are among the finest annuals for table decoration, 
and for their long period of flowering they are invaluable in 
the mixed border. Disappointment is often caused by sowing 
a late-flowering strain. Our early-flowering varieties begin 
to bloom as soon as planted out, and continue in flower until 
cut down by autumn frosts. The best results are obtained by 
sowing in pots during February and transplanting immediately 
the first flowers appear in May or June. 
11471. Mixed. Per pkt., 32c. 
1 1483. Double Mixed. Per pkt., 49c.

riety, which flowers freely all the summer from an outdoor 
sowing in March or April. Height 18 inches. Per pkt., 19c. 
DIDISCUS COERULEUS 
1 1634. This annual is very largely grown in America as the 
“Blue Lace Flower,” and is charming as a pot plant or for 
cutting. It is not quite hardy, and the beauty of its form 
and coloring is best appreciated when grown under glass. 
Trachymene coerulea is another name for this plant. Height 
18 inches. Per pkt., 32c. 
DAHLIA 
One of the greatest marvels to the numerous visitors to our 
Reading Grounds during past summers has been the display 
of Dahlias, flowering from seed within six months from date 
of sowing. Many of the blooms were of extraordinary size 
and coloring, and equal to named varieties. 
Single Varieties

well-known Coltness Gem is reproduced in this hybrid 
strain; the plants are of ideal habit and very free-flowering.
