dark disc. Particularly suitable for borders and edgings on account

CUPHEA, FIREFLY 
(Cigar Plant) 
Semi-dwarf, compact annual. The fiery cerise-red flowers are freeh' 
produced on compact plants about 10 in. high. The general effect 
of the plant when in full bloom is a ball of fire, making it an excellent 
subject for the rockery, window boxes or for flower pots, also as a 
border or edging variety. Pkt. 50c. 
DIMORPHOTHECA SINUATA, ORANGE GLORY

summer months. Highly recommended as a bedding plant. Pkt. 50c.

LARKSPUR, EARLY GIANT HYACINTH- 
FLOWERED, ROYALTY 
The outstanding feature of this new Larkspur is its uniform, clear 
rosy mauve color which is quite different from any other Hyacinth- 
flowered variety. The main spikes are tremendous, many grow to 
4 ft. or more in height with hundreds of flowers open at one time, for 
lengths of 2 and 23^ ft. While color is most outstanding, the tall 
growth and free flowering qualities are also desirable features.

flowers freely. Pkt. 25c.
