CELOSIA 
The Chinese Woolflower (Celosia Childsii)— Plants 
grow two to three feet high, the bloom starting early 
with a central head, round and globular, which often 
reaches the immense size of two feet in circumference. 
Scores of branches are thrown out, each bearing a ball 
of scarlet wool. All these branches support numerous 
laterals with small heads of bloom mixed with fresh 
green foliage, so that a plant looks like an immense 
bouquet splendidly arranged and set in the ground.

Double Cornflowers (Centaurea Cyanus) 
These are also known as Bachelor’s Buttons, Blue 
Bottle, Ragged Sailor, Bluet and sometimes as Ragged

and frequently results in confusion. It is always best 
to order by the botanical names. They are well known 
to every flower lover and always included in old- 
fashioned gardens.

CENTAURAEA 
IMPERIALIS 
(Sweet Sultans)

doubtedly the finest of all 
Sweet-Sultans for cut-flower 
purposes. The charming, 
sweet-scented, artistic-shaped 
flowers are borne on long, 
strong stems and when cut 
will stand for several days 
in good condition. It is best, 
in this latitude, to sow very 
early in the spring, so that 
they may perfect their 
flowers before very hot 
weather comes; 2% feet.

CHRYSANTHEMUM 
These outdoor “summer Chrysanthemums” are showy 
for bedding or borders in the garden and desirable for 
cut flowers. Plants become more bushy and shapely if 
pinched back in early growth and the practice of dis¬ 
budding will result in much larger flowers. These 
annuals are not the winter flowering sorts sold by 
florists and which are propagated only by division of 
roots.

doors in early spring and grow in partial shade. The

CLARKIA 
Elegans Double Enchantress 
(Grower’s Description) 
The ever increasing de¬ 
mand for the so-called “old- 
fashioned” type of flower 
has brought the Clarkias into 
.their own as never before. 
Within the past four or five 
seasons there have evolved 
an unprecedented number 
of new colors in this old fa¬ 
vorite. One of the finest of 
these varieties is Enchant¬ 
ress, light orange shading 
to pink, a delightful color 
_PI which is sure to become a 
great favorite. The flowers are double and well placed 
on long stems. Pkt. 10c.

Coboea Vine, Cathedral Bells—One of the hand¬ 
somest and most rapid growing annual climbers, run¬ 
ning up to 30 feet in a season. The flowers are bell¬ 
shaped and of a purplish lilac when full grown. It is 
a very prolific bloomer, one that makes a show tKe 
first year, both in vines and flowers, one that is always 
clean of insects. We know of none better. % oz. 15c
