Centaurea imperialis (Sweet Sultan) 
This is without a doubt the most beau¬ 
tiful of all Centaureas. The beautiful, 
sweet scented, artistic-shaped flowers 
are borne on long, strong stems, and

condition. The plant itself is much

Cleome (Spider Plant) 
Showy and interesting because of the 
long purple spidery stamens and showy 
rose-colored petals. Does well in 
sandy soils and sunny situations and 
can be used like castor oil plants to 
fill up gaps in the border, or among 
shrubs. The airiness of the Cleome 
lends a touch to the garden which 
nothing else gives. Blooms until late.

id growing of the annual climbers.

fectly hardy. The vine is always clean

annuals in a good variety of color, 
that win produce a continuous suc¬ 
cession of beautiful cut flowers 
from early summer until late in the 
fall. Pkt. 5c. 
Cosmos 
The Cosmos is one of the most attrac¬ 
tive of the autumn flowering annuals. 
Its graceful flowers borne on long 
stems, rising above the feathery foli¬ 
age, are very desirable for cut flowers, 
lasting for a week or more in water. 
It is a very prolific bloomer and if the 
plants are given enough space to de¬ 
velop well, will branch freely, every 
shoot being covered with a mass of 
lovely flowers. Cosmos is very effective 
among shrubbery and especially desir¬ 
able for inter-planting with early 
blooming perennials, as it fills in the 
gaps when the latter die down. 
Gould's Extra Early Cosmos is the 
earliest of its kind, growing to a height 
of about 4 feet and if seeded in the 
open as soon as the soil is in condi¬ 
tion, or transplanted from plants after 
all danger of frost, Cosmos will bloom 
from July until frost.

Early Klondyke Orange Flare. Grand 
Champion Gold Medal 1935 All-Ameri¬ 
can Selections. Granted the highest 
honor that can be bestowed on a new 
flower variety in the United States, 
Orange Flare has proven itself worthy 
of this honor. The long stemmed flow¬ 
ers of bright vivid orange are freely 
borne on 2 to 3-foot, well shaped plants 
which have sparse growth of light 
green foliage. If plants are started 
indoors it will flower in sixty to seven¬ 
ty days after setting out. Pkt. 10c. 
Cosmos, Extra Early Double Crested 
The double flowering Cosmos has 
caused many exclamations of admira¬ 
tion from those who have seen them 
for the first time. This strain will 
bloom about seventy-five per cent in 
doubles and the balance will revert 
back to the single type. 
They grow to a height of about three 
feet, forming a perfect bush massed 
with blooms, bearing beautiful flowers 
on long stems. They bloom in seventy 
days from seed when sown in the gar¬ 
den, and will continue to bloom until 
frost.
