Anethoides, New Hybrids. The very daintiness and exquisite 
color-blendings of these annual Jewels of the Veldt will ap¬ 
peal to all flower-lovers. The bushy plants, 2 feet across, 
carry a hundred fully expanded daisy-like flowers at one 
time. They are held on thin, wiry stems of good length, 
well above the light feathery foliage. The petals of all 
flowers are a delightful rich orange, but the central coloring 
surrounding the center disc shows wonderful variations from 
ruby-red to dark purple, each spangled with jewel-like dots. 
Seeds sown outdoors in April will produce flowers from June 
to September. Fading flowers should be removed to keep 
plants from going to seed. Ht. 1 ft. Pkt. 20 cts.; fgoz. 90 cts.

Few flowers give greater satisfaction in the small home-

and are splendid for low beds and borders. Sow the seed in 
late April and thin the seedlings to stand 15 inches apart.
