offered in the florists’ shops in the Autumn.

grace and charm. 
Annual Chrysanthemums 
Clarkia 
Although natives of this country and 
widely cultivated abroad, Clarkias are 
strangely neglected in most gardens. 
They can be grown with the utmost ease 
if provided with a little shade and ordinary 
attention. The leafy stems are covered 
with showy flowers, making them most 
attractive for bedding and cutting. They 
dislike transplanting. Grow 2 to 2}/% feet.

Handsome annuals of sturdy habit, producing broad blooms, like monster

against it. It is charming both in the garden and as a cut-flower.

Truly Wonderful! 
And You Don't Knotv It? 
If you do not have the Basket Flower 
in your garden this year, it is your 
fault, and not ours! 
Centaurea americana “has every¬ 
thing” that a good garden flower should 
have. (Read description above.} It is 
very easy to grow, superb in the 
garden and equally valuable for cutting. 
Everyone who sees it for the first time 
says, “What is it? Isn’t it beautiful!” 
Instead of climbing on the band-wagon 
later on, walk ahead of it now. Plant 
Centaurea americana this year! Two 
colors: Lavender and White. 
TWIN COLLECTION: 
Packet (one of each color) 25c.
