Seeds of Annuals 
Arctotis Calendulacea 
A robust stem, 18 inches high, branches tree-like, dressed with fleshy light green leaves, 
which are lobed and fairly large. A certain light fur covers both face and reverse of leaves. 
The flowers, which appear on 12 inch stem, are a combination of Arctotis and Calendula. 
They are like Arctotis, because they are single and close up in the evening, and have a halo 
around the disc. They are like a Calendula, because the flower petals have the same texture 
and are of that particular orange color.

Arctotis Grandis (African Daisy) 
A most interesting and attractive flowering plant, introduced originally from South Africa. 
The foliage is of a bluish green and remains close to the ground, while each of a number of slender, 
graceful, bending flower-stems, growing about 15 inches high, produce an elegant daisy flower 
of porcelain white, while the reverse of the petals is of steel blue. The interesting part of the 
flower is that it closes toward evening and opens afresh in the morning. Splendid for cutting or 
garden effect. Seeds may be sown in hotbeds in order to have early flowers, but even if sown out 
of doors in May. the plant may be had in full bloom for July and August. Set plants 6 inches 
apart. (It Lavender Grey suffused White).

Argemone Grandiflora (Mexican Poppy) 
From the centre of several lance-like leaves which lie flat on the ground arises a stout 
leafless stalk which branches at different heights, showing many such side shoots, which like the 
main stem is triangular shaped and have sharp paper edges. At the terminal of each side 
shoot appears a white globe-shaped button flower of a strawy texture. As the petals unfold 
the flowers increase in size and show finally a yellow centre; but previous to this stage, flowers 
hung downward in an airy room can be dried and are perfectly everlasting. 
They are showy and interesting in the garden or cut as fresh flowers. Height, 18 inches; 
space, 10 inches. Sow' seeds in the open in May.

Artemisia Sacrorum Viridis (The Annual Pine Tree) 
From a single seed sown in May there is visible in our gardens in August a specimen of a 
tree-like plant, standing (5 or more feet high, which has all the appearance of a Norway Pine. 
The plant is pyramidal in growth, of fine needle-like deep green foliage, and branches are ex¬ 
tending from the bottom like a spruce. For hedges or background of dwarfer flowers or for 
single specimen we have here a remarkable plant, worthy of trial.
