GAILLARDIA (Blanket Flower) 
Splendid showy annuals, remarkable for the pro¬ 
fusion, size and brilliancy of their flowers. They are 
in bloom from early summer until frost. Unexcelled 
for beds, borders, or for cuttings; should be sown 
where they are to bloom. Height 18 inches. Pkt. 10c 
GYPSOPHILA 
Delicate, freeflowering plants covered with star¬ 
shaped flowers, valuable for mist-effects and as 
trimming in bouquets; also for hanging baskets or 
edgings. Sometimes called Baby’s Breath. Will thrive 
in almost any well prepared ground but does best 
on a limestone soil. Make handsome specimens dried. 
Elegant Large Flowering Pure White. An im¬ 
proved large flowering strain, superior to the com¬ 
mon Elegans not only in size of flowers but also in 
color. Pkt. 10c. 
GOURDS 
A great variety of curiously formed and marked 
fruits, vines are of rapid growth and with luxuriant 
foliage. Adapted for covering screens, arbors, etc. 
Height 10 to 12 feet. All kinds. Mixed. Pkt. 5c. 
HELIOTROPE 
Everyone loves the delicate fragrance and beauty 
of the Heliotrope, but few know that it can be raised 
from the seed as easily as the Verbenas. To insure a 
long period of bloom, seed should be sown early 
indoors. 
Lemoines Giant, superb mixed. Pkt. 10c. 
HYACINTH BEAN (Dolichos Lablab) 
Splendid climbers with abundant clustered spikes 
of purple and white flowers, which are followed by 
exceedingly ornamental seed pods. A very rapid 
grower. The usual growth is from 10 to 20 feet but 
it often grows as much as 30 feet. Tender annual. 
Pkt. 10c. 
HOLLYHOCK (Althaea Rosea) 
For a background to a flower garden nothing is 
better than the improved strains we offer of this 
tall, old-fashioned garden perennial. The large, rich¬ 
ly colored blossoms, about three inches across rang¬ 
ing from deep yellow and red to pure white, are set 
as rosettes around the strong growing flower stalks. 
Sow seed in June or July, in open ground, and 
in the autumn, transplant to permanent position two 
or three feet apart. The following summer they will 
bloom. All double varieties are hardy perennials; 
five feet high. Pkt. 10c. 
JAPANESE HOP (Humulus Japonicus) 
A rapid growing, perfectly hardy annual climber 
of the hop family, of the easiest culture and indis- 
pensible for covering unsightly objects or verandas, 
trellises, etc. Variegated leaves. Pkt. 10c. 
LARKSPUR, ANNUAL 
(Delphinium Ajacis) 
A splendid annual for general garden culture. 
Seed sown early in April will produce flowering 
plants early in July and then a continuous succession 
of bloom until frost. The flowers are produced on 
spikes and are of a great variety of color. Make 
charming bouquets and stand up well. Height two 
feet. Double mixed. Pkt. 5c. 
GERANIUM 
We know of no plant that is better known or 
more universally admired than the Geranium. Com¬ 
monly propagated by cuttings but may also be grown 
from seed which is very interesting. Pkt. 15c.
