Very pretty for summer decoration in the garden,

taining rich garden soil, covered with sand and

Blue Lace Flower 
(Didiscus caerulea) This beautiful Australian 
annual Lace Flower grows into an upright, 
very much branched plant of about 2 feet in 
height. Each branch ends in an umbel of 
light sky-blue flowers which spread out in 
an umbrella-like fashion, crowning each shoot 
with a beautiful and delicate head of flowers. 
Each individual bloom in the umbel is car¬ 
ried on a thin and long tube, giving the 
flower-heads a delicate and dainty touch. 
The name Lace Flower is most appropriate 
since the blooms resemble in their quaint 
and artistic arrangement the most delicate 
and dainty lace. Pkt. 10c.
