high. The colors range from pure 
yellow and orange to the deepest scar¬

Salzer’s Clarkia 
CYNOGLOSSOM 
(Chinese Forget-me-not) 2 
feet. HA. Too few people

is such an addition to the gar¬

blossoms which resemble the 
Forget-me-not in form but are 
larger. Their color is an ar¬ 
resting rich turquoise blue. If 
kept cut for bouquets the 
blooming season is long. Easy 
to grow. 1857—Pkt., 10c;
