©““NIEREMBERGIA Hippomanica. 
“One of the outstanding rock and bor¬ 
der plant introductions in recent 
years” is our opinion of this new¬ 
comer after a year’s trial of it here at 
West Chicago. From a February sow¬ 
ing these little 4- to 6-in., rounded, 
neat plants started to flower the mid¬ 
dle of July and kept themselves cov¬ 
ered with small 1%-in. light blue 
flowers right up until frost. Stands 
considerable shade under which the 
color deepens to a lilac shade. Should 
make an excellent little spring pot 
plant too. Better get acquainted with 
Nierembergia Hippomanica for border 
work. 
Tr. pkt., 50c; 1/32 oz., $1.75. 
NIGELLA (Damascena Double). 11,000 s.

blue.

blue, and white.

PANSY 
25,000 s. We have a complete new crop 
seed stock of all varieties listed below. A 
January sowing of both Pansies and Violas 
will make nice small plants to sell out of 
flats or pots during May. For larger plants, 
seed should be sown in early fall. 
*Ball Giant Mixture. Our extensive an¬ 
nual trials of “All the Best” in Pansy 
strains from all over the world convince 
use that this is the finest “All-purpose” 
strain available. Giant flowers with an 
exceptionally rich mixture of the newer 
bronzy red with blues and yellows in pro¬ 
portion.

©PHLOX Drummondi. (Annual). 14,- 
000 s. For ease of culture, brilliant 
positive colors and strains that come 
true to these colors, annual Phlox 
can’t be beaten. We regularly sow our 
Phlox trials here at West Chicago 
right out in the field where they are 
to flower about the middle to end of 
May, and they are a riot of color in 
early August. Certainly this can be 
said of few outdoor bedding plants 
that stand our hot mid-summer con¬ 
ditions! The Grandifloras have some 
value for cutting too. Phlox doesn’t 
stand transplanting well when their 
roots have to be disturbed, which 
leads to the practice of sowing in 
April in pots for earlier flowering out¬ 
doors.
