344—PERENNIAL 
PHLOX 
In the past this beauti¬ 
ful perennial has been 
difficult to grow from 
seed, and the plants were 
usually too expensive to 
permit everyone to have 
as many as every gar¬ 
den deserves. Now by 
freezing the seeds in the 
ice trays of a refrigerator 
for three days and letting 
them thaw out gradually, 
they will germinate in 
about five days and are 
as easy to start as sweet 
peas. Our seed is saved 
from selected plant va¬ 
rieties, giving you the 
best in colors and in 
large type flowers. Pkt.,

PERENNIAL POPPIES 
349—Fakenham Hybrids Iceland 
(See Inside Front Cover) 
Everyone remembers the wonderful display of Ice¬ 
land Poppies on the Hotel grounds at Glacier Park 
Station. You, too, can easily create such a display 
by planting these new hybrids. Stems are of a great 
length, stiff, and the large flowers remain in perfect 
condition for cutting for several days. These poppies 
will flower well throughout the summer and increase 
in size from year to year. Although perennial, it will 
bloom from seed the first year. Colors range from 
pure white through yellow and orange to red.

This old favorite perennial has been improved in size of 
flower and length of stem. They are colored deep red with 
dark center. Greatly in demand for cut flowers. If seed is 
started inside and transplanted, it will sometimes bloom 
the first year. Pkt., 10c. 
353—Pyretrum (P) (2 ft.) 
These perennials are easy to grow and flower early in 
the spring. Most people know them as Painted Daisies. 
Delicate pink and red shades. Pl?t., 10c. 
X-L Salpiglossis 
Salpiglossis (A) (30 in.) 
This is another flower that we 
feel should be on every flower 
lover's list. It is especially easy 
to grow. The Salpiglossis in ap¬ 
pearance is an aristocrat. It is 
rich in deep color tones which are 
set off by veins of gold. Be sure 
and give Salpiglossis plenty of 
room, plant as early as possible 
in the place where it is to grow 
to avoid transplanting. Do not 
water, but keep on the dry side. 
Its blossoms are similar in shape 
to Petunias and are borne on 
strong stems. Excellent for cutting.

More people should know 
the improved type of the 
old fashioned Mourning 
Bride. Blossoms are about 
3 inches in diameter with 
long stiff stems 10 to 15 
inches long. They will keep 
well in vases for over a 
week at a time. The white

mon name of Pin Cushion 
Flower.
