Gaillardia - Blanket Flower 
Tones of orange, yellow, red, and maroon, often beautifully 
combined in a single blossom, make these flowering plants gay 
ornaments of the garden all summer long. The foliage of soft 
green combines well with the flowers. The blossoms are 2 to 
3 inches across. Both the annuals and perennials are favorites 
for the border. 
SINGLE PICTA MIXED. (hA). Eighteen inch. Large daisy-like 
blossoms of yellow and bronze with central cones of yellow. 
Pkt., 10c.

posite flowers with rich maroon centers circled by orange

Gypsophila - Baby's Breath 
These airy plants are almost devoid of foliage, but their 
extremely delicate, well-branched stalks produce a charming 
misty effect in the garden. They bear numerous tiny blos¬ 
soms. They will thrive almost anywhere. 
ELEGANS LARGE FLOWERING WHITE (Paris Market). (hA). 
Two feet. An improved strain with single large pure white 
flowers. Sow at intervals to maintain a supply throughout 
the summer. Pkt., 5c. 
PANICULATA DOUBLE WHITE. (hP). Three feet. Superior to 
the older hardy sorts, producing graceful sprays of tiny 
rose-shaped flowers. Very desirable for cutting. Still un¬ 
fixed, but produces a good proportion of doubles. If cut 
before the flowers are fully open, sprays of this variety 
can be used to give a mist-like appearance to winter bou¬ 
quets. Pkt., 25c. 
Geranium 
PELARGONIUM. (tP). Two feet. Geraniums are usually prop¬ 
agated from cuttings, but they are also readily grown from 
seed which insures the only means of discovering new 
varieties. Reds predominate, but soft tints of pink, rose, 
and white are frequent. In a northern climate the plants 
should be taken indoors before frost. 
ZONALE. Very free blooming with exquisite zoned and vari- 
gated leaves. Pkt., 10c. 
GERBERA (Transvaal Daisy). (tP). Eighteen inches. Pkt., 25c. 
GEUM. (hP). Two feet. Double scarlet. Pkt., 10c. 
GILIA. (hA). Two feet. Tricolor. Pkt., 10c. 
Godetia 
SATIN FLOWER. Hardy annual of very easy culture. A beau¬ 
tiful cut flower somewhat similar to the gladiolus, of fine 
satin texture; flowers profusely all summer. Colors beau¬ 
tifully blended. Pkt., 10c. 
Heliotrope 
(tP). 2 feet. In the 
border the somber green » 
foliage and large clusters 
of dark blue to deep vio¬ 
let flowers of this fra¬ 
grant plant lend them¬ 
selves to pleasing con¬ 
trasts with the more vivid 
leaves and blossoms of 
other plants. It is a rapid 
grower and from seed 
started early in spring 
will make fine flowering 
plants by early summer, 
while in a warm climate 
it will continue to live 
and bloom all winter.

Hollyhocks 
(hP). Almost every 
garden or dooryard has a 
place for stately Holly¬ 
hocks. A tall group a- 
mong shrubs or ever¬ 
greens, a row lining a gar¬ 
den wall or fence or with 
a white cottage as a 
background, may easily 
produce an effect for an 
artist to paint. The dig¬ 
nified stalks provided 
with many large green 
leaves are richly adorned 
with flowers near the 
top. 
ALLEGHENY. 7 feet. A 
particularly tall grow¬ 
ing Hollyhock supply¬ 
ing huge semi-double 
flowers, deeply fringed 
and frilled at the 
edges. Mixed, pkt., 
10c. 
DOUBLE. 5 feet. Our 
strain of this excellent 
variety produces ex¬ 
tremely double flowers 
that resemble small 
Peonies with dainty, 
closely packed petals. 
Crimson, Deep Rose, 
Newport Pink, Salmon, 
Scarlet, White, Yellow, 
Mixed. Pkt., 10c. Double Hollyhocks 
Iberis 
Helianthus - Sunflower 
(hA). These flowers need to be bathed in sunlight if they 
are to thrive. Except in the miniature type, each plant has a 
single robust stalk, sometimes forked near the top, clothed 
with large heart-shaped leaves, and bearing large circular 
flower heads. They are admirably adapted for use as back¬ 
grounds or tall divisions. Single Red and Gold. Pkt., 10c. 
PERENNIAL CANDYTUFT. (hP-R). Eight inch. Hardy Candy¬ 
tuft is a good plant for the rock garden in late spring. It 
is of spreading habit and is covered with large flat clusters 
of small lilac flowers shading white toward the centers of 
the clusters. It is of easy culture, and while the flower 
stalks and foliage die down in the winter, the roots lie dor¬ 
mant, sending up a new growth early the following season. 
Gilbraltarica, pkt., 10c. 
Gypsophila—Baby's Breath 
Kochia 
MEXICAN FIRE BUSH, SUMMER CYPRESS. (hA). 21/ 2 feet. 
The symmetry and attractive appearance of this hedge 
plant make it a favorite with the home gardener. The moss¬ 
like foliage remains clear, bright qreen until frost, when jt 
turns to a beautiful bronze-red. The plants grow easily in 
moderately rich soil. Childsi, pkt., 5c. 
Kudzu Vine 
PUERARIA THUNBERGIANA, JACK-AND-THE-BEAN-STALK. 
(hP). Thirty feet. This great vine will attain a height of 
8 to 10 feet the first season. When once established it may 
grow from 40 to 50 feet in a season. The large, bright 
green leaves afford excellent shade, and the climber is 
further embellished with small clusters of rosy pea-shaped 
flowers. It will thrive in the poorest soil. Pkt., 10c.
