Dwarf Double Azalea-Flowered Godetia Carminea 
A fine mixture of colors. Pkt., 10c; *4 oz., 30c; y 2 oz., 50c. 
Of all the hardy annuals for garden 
decoration, Godetias are unsurpassed for 
the brilliant effect they produce in beds 
and borders. The new Dwarf Azalea- 
Flowered varieties are also highly recom¬ 
mended for pot culture. For outdoor 
culture, the seed may be sown in the 
garden, the same as asters. When 
thinned to about a foot apart each plant 
makes a compact bush about a foot 
high. The big beautiful blossoms are 
produced in such profusion as to just 
about hide the plant. It is surely a 
revelation, and you will be surprised 
and delighted. They are especially 
recommended for shady locations where 
many other flowers will not bloom. We 
have the three following varieties to 
offer: 
DWARF DOUBLE AZALEA-FLOW¬ 
ERED, CARMINEA. Pink with crimson 
blotched center. So free flowering that 
when it is in full flower it is nothing but 
bloom. May be called an annual Azalea.

LAVATERA (Annual Mallow) 
TRIMESTRIS MIXED. The showy flowers and large downy leaves of these annual Mallows 
produce a most decorative effect in beds, hedges and background borders. The bushy plants 
grow to a height of 2 y 2 to 3 ft. The large cup-shaped flowers of charming white, pink, and rose 
colors measure 2 to 4 inches across. They bloom profusely during the entire summer and fall. 
Spikes of these richly colored flowers, 2 feet in length, make long keeping cut flowers, as the 
buds continue to expand in water. In habit they are rather spreading, but this is an advan¬ 
tage as they may be sown late to fill vacant spots following spring flowers. Mixture of colors.
