CENTAURAEA 
IMPERIALIS 
(Sweet Sultans) 
This beautiful class is un¬ 
doubtedly the finest of all 
Sweet Sultans for cut-flower 
purposes. The charming, 
sweet-scented, artistic-shaped 
flowers are borne on long, 
strong stems and when cut 
will stand for several days 
in good condition. It is best, 
in this latitude, to sow very 
early in the spring, so that 
they may perfect their 
flowers before very hot 
weather comes; 2 % feet.

CHRYSANTHEMUM 
These outdoor “summer Chrysanthemums” are showy 
for bedding or borders in the garden and desirable for 
cut flowers. Plants become more bushy and shapely if 
pinched back in early growth and the practice of dis¬ 
budding will result in much larger flowers. These 
annuals are not the winter flowering sorts sold by 
florists and which are propagated only by division of 
roots.

CLARKIA

chantress (Grower’s 
Description) 
The ever increasing de¬ 
mand for the so-called “old- 
fashioned” type of flower 
has brought the Clarkias into 
their own as never before. 
Within the past four or five 
seasons there have evolved 
an unprecedented number 
of new colors in this old fa¬ 
vorite. One of the finest of 
these varieties is Enchant¬ 
ress, light orange shading 
to pink, a delightful color 
which is sure to become a 
great favorite. The flowers are double and well placed 
on long stems. Pkt. 10c.

clean of insects. We know of none better.
