INDIAN MOON 
Illustrated Below 
2714 Fraser's New Double Indian Moon Sunflower. 
For several years we have been selecting to get an 
absolutely pure Sunflower with perfect characteris¬ 
tics. We have succeeded in the past year. We made 
two plantings on two different boulevards, one of the 
selections showed a great variation in size and color. 
The other was absolutely 100% true in doubleness. 
The Indian Moon made a very wonderful impression 
on sight-seers, many of whom stopped and were 
amazed to find that it was the new Sunflower. The 
Sunflower does not grow over 4 ft. high and is a 
true tree type. The laterals thrown out from the 
side produce about 25 to 50 flowers measuring from 
4 to 8 inches across. If you are desirous of produc¬ 
ing larger flowers, disbud as you would Chrysanthe¬ 
mums. Because of its extreme doubleness it is a very 
shy seeder and we quote the price of 12 seeds for 25c. 
This is sold in retail packets only.

FLOWERING KALE 
Illustrated at Left 
Although belonging to the same family of Cabbage or 
Kale, this Flowering Kale is an entirely different sort of 
plant as to its appearance. In young stage its leaves are 
green just like ordinary Kale, but in autumn as the 
weather advances remarkably beautiful colors begin to 
appear and paint the whole plant in self colors and in 
variegation. 
The colors range from white, cream, pink, rose, magenta, 
etc., on dark green ground. 
As the plants grow, the colors become more brilliant 
and keep well into winter until late spring. 
Sakata’s strain is better in color, more compact in habit, 
which makes it more suitable for pot plant than the old 
loose and tall growing Coleus Leaved or Variegated 
Leaved Kale. 
Considering its conspicuous color and its marvellous 
keeping quality, this Flowering Kale should gain great 
popularity as pot plants for Christmas or New Year deco¬ 
ration or as bedding out plants for winter and spring 
borders. Also fine for garnishing salads and meats.

CHRYSANTHEMUM JAPONICA 
CHRYSANTHEMUM 
Illustrated Above 
2372 Chrysanthemum Japonicum "Japanese Cascade." Single¬ 
flowering, fine mixed colors. This beautiful Chrysanthemum has 
many great merits over other varieties of Chrysanthemums. It 
is hardy, easy of culture and comes to flower the same autumn 
from seed. 
Naturally Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum will grow to 
a wild bush if left by itself, but if pinched two or three times, a 
good shaped bush can be obtained. By proper pinching and 
staking you can grow them to be most showy and artistic style 
of hanging or spray pot plants. If properly cultivated, they 
will hang down as long as 4 to 6 feet with 2 ft. width, that may 
be termed as ‘‘Cascade’’ or ‘‘Drooping’’ type and will make a 
most fascinating decoration in the corner of the parlor or the 
dining room. Pkt. 50c. 
2373 Chrysanthemum Japonicum "Japanese Mountain." Double- 
Anemone-flowered, very fine mixed colors. Pkt. 75c.
