Calendula 
This hardy annual will supply the brightest colors in 
the garden from seed sown in early spring. The blooms 
—red, yellow and orange in color—are borne on long 
stout stems, and are excellent for cutting. Blooms pro¬ 
fusely all season, until late autumn. Height 1 foot. 
California Poppy 
A most effective hardy annual when planted in 
masses. The plants average a foot in height and are 
covered with large pure yellow, poppy-like blooms from 
early spring to frost. Easily grown in all localities. 
Candytuft 
One of the best hardy annuals for bedding, edging, 
massing, rockeries or cutting. They are profuse bloom¬ 
ers with white, pink, carmine and purple flowers. If 
sown outdoors at intervals, from April to July, a suc¬ 
cession of bloom may be had until fall. They demand 
rich soil and plenty of water. 
Carnation 
The Carnation is one of the hardiest of our peren¬ 
nials and will come through the winter uninjured. It 
is easy to grow and blooms all season. Seed planted 
early in the spring will produce blooming plants the 
second summer. The blooms are richly colored and 
have a delightful spicy fragrance. Height D /2 to 2 feet. 
Clematis 
An excellent hardy climbing perennial for trellises, 
arbors, verandas and the like. It thrives in most loca¬ 
tions and produces an abundance of fragrant white or 
purple, star-shaped flowers. Height 10 to 20 feet. 
Cockscomb 
For ease of culture and brilliance of color few 
annuals surpass the Cockscomb, or Celosia. They pro¬ 
duce large flower heads or “combs,” bright red or yel¬ 
low in color, all through the season, and are unsur¬ 
passed in the border. Height 1 foot. The “Ostrich 
Plume” varieties produce large, showy bright colored 
plumes, curled and curved, like an ostrich plume, and 
are 2 to 3 feet in height. 
Cosmos 
One of the best of the fall-blooming annuals. It is a 
strong, tall grower, reaching a height of 4 to 6 feet. 
The dainty crimson, pink, or white flowers are borne 
in great profusion, and are most effective with their 
setting of feathery green foliage. Fine for broad masses, 
or long background borders against evergreens and 
fences. For early flowers, start indoors and transplant 
to dry, sandy or poor soil in a sunny location.

Dahlias 
Everyone knows and loves the Dahlia, for its blooms 
come at a time when the flower garden is beginning to 
look ragged, and they continue in profusion until cut 
down by frost. There are no richer colors than will be 
found in Dahlia blooms, and they come in a variety of 
forms—single, semi-double, double, cactus, and col¬ 
larette varieties. Many persons do not know that these 
beautiful flowers can be secured from seed sown in 
early spring, but this is the case. Bloom in late summer 
and continue until late fall. Height 3 to 6 feet. 
Foxgloves 
One of,the most showy of the hardy perennials, but 
most satisfactory when treated as a biennial. Sow the 
seed outdoors in spring and transplant the seedlings to 
their permanent places. They will bloom magnificently 
the following spring, giving an abundance of flower 
spikes 2 to 3 feet high. They are particularly effective 
when grown among shrubbery, in masses, or as a back¬ 
ground for lower growing plants. The colors are rich 
and attractive, such as purple, rose, white and yellow, 
all with throat mottled with darker colors.
