Portulaca - Sun Plant 
Plant from February to November 
Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—6 weeks 
A creeping, mossy plant about 6 inch¬ 
es high which thrives in sunny locations. 
Produces large, very brilliant flowers 
which open only in full sunshine early 
in the morning. It is excellent for mass¬ 
ing, edging, rockwork, and sowing 
broadcast in the open ground. The seed 
is very fine; sow it thinly and do not 
cover. May be thinned or transplanted 
6 inches apart. 
Scabiosa - Mourning Bride

Approx, time seed sowing to bloom—8-10 weeks 
The flowers of Scabiosa are borne on 
long, slender, graceful stems and are 
exquisitely scented. The colors are rich 
and varied—pure white, pink, yellow, 
blue, purple, red and variegated shades. 
As cut-flowers they are unsurpassed and 
they will last a week or more if cut be¬ 
fore they have entirely opened. Plants 
should be set out 1 foot apart in any 
good garden soil.

GIANT SNAPDRAGONS 
The Snapdragons which we offer pro¬ 
duce massive spikes 3 to 4 feet high, 
with close-set, large, velvety flowers 
which last for many days when cut. The 
seeds are small and slow to germinate. 
They should be planted in a shallow 
box of rich soil, and, when 4 inches high, 
may be transplanted in rich, moist soil 
1 foot apart. As soon as the plants reach 
8 inches in height they should be tied 
to light stakes until the side branches 
are well developed. Frequent cultivation 
and applications of fertilizer 
will produce spikes of astonish¬ 
ing vigor and blooms of marvel¬ 
ous size.
