annuals used for backgrounds and screens. The plant 
formation and the foliage, are pretty—and the flow¬ 
ers in Red, Pink, Rose and White make excellent 
mass bouquets. For earliest results start seed in¬ 
doors, though the plants will flower in late summer 
from sowings made outdoors. They grow 4 to 6 feet 
tall.

borne on long stems. They measure from 2^ to 
SV 2 inches across.Pkt. 10c.

it is especially desirable for cut flowers. It grows

dium, blossoming about 4 months from seed. The 
flowers have a charm and delicacy that make them 
especially valuable for cutting. It is advisable to 
start the larger flowered types earlier, but they are 
just as easily grown as the bedding types. Grow 
them in the full sun.

comes in a wide range of colors, and the flowers

that this strain is a real improvement on the original. 
It is the most profuse and most continuous blooming 
of all the Hardy Larkspurs. The clear turquoise 
blue of its flowers is not equalled for delicacy and 
beauty. A generous planting should be included in 
every hardy border.Pkt. 10c.

popular light blue Belladonna, having the same free- 
blooming habit and other good qualities.Pkt. 10c. 
WREXHAM FINEST MIXED: A magnificent strain of 
Delphiniums with huge spikes of large, double flowers 
in beautiful combinations of colors. The plants grow 
from 4 to 6 feet high, bearing flowers closely spaced 
on the long spikes. Although this flower is a peren¬ 
nial it should be grown only as an annual in Florida. 
For best germination chill the seeds by placing them 
in a refrigerator for a day or two before planting 
them.Pkt. 35c.
