ACROCLINIUM 
This hardy annual, the most hardy 
of the so-called everlasting flowers, 
produces an abundance of white and 
rose-colored flowers during the months 
of August and September. 
AGERATUM 
One of the best bedding annuals 
owing to its prolific flowering which 
extends over a long period. The blooms 
are de*p blue and are not injured by 
rain. The color does not fade. Fine 
either for the garden or for cutting. 
SWEET 
ALYSSUM 
This is one 
of t h e sweet¬ 
est of the an¬ 
nuals. It is very 
hardy and pro¬ 
duces a succes¬ 
sion of white 
flowers till it is 
killed by frost. 
Alyssum i s a 
great favorite 
as a border 
plant. 
ALYSSUM SAXATILE 
A hardy growing perennial which 
will bloom the first season if the seed 
is planted indoors early and set out¬ 
side when conditions permit. The flow¬ 
ers are bright yellow and borne in 
great profusion, making a “carpet of 
gold.”

Love Lies Bleeding 
Brilliant foliaged plants with bril¬ 
liant contrasts in color, being a blend 
of red and green. A very rapid grow¬ 
ing annual with long drooping crimson 
flower spikes. 
ARABIS or ROCK CRESS 
A dwarf perennial which produces a 
mass of white flowers very early in 
the spring. It is one of the earliest of 
all flowers, which makes it especially 
desirable. Fine for borders, massing 
or rock gardens. 
ASTERS 
This beautiful annual is so well 
known that it needs no description 
here. Our mixture contains many fine 
sorts and colors, but is not so choice 
as those on pages 2 and 3. 
ARCTOTIS (Grandis) 
A very handsome annual with med¬ 
ium large daisy-like flowers. The pet¬ 
als are long and pointed and curve 
back. It forms much branched bushes 
about 2 feet tall. The flowers are 
pearly white and of wonderful texture. 
The blooming period is very long. 
AUBRETIA (False Wall Cress) 
Pretty dwarf-growing rock plants 
forming broad masses of silvery green 
foliage, covered with many showy 
flowers. Mixed colors but with shades 
of lavender predominating. Grows well 
on any soil. Perennial. (See page 35).
