Rudbeckia, Kelvedon Star 
Phacelia 
743 VISCIDA. A most lovely, hardy annual. The blooms are saucer-shaped and of 
the most brilliant blue. The plants are a foot or more high. The flowers are 
large brilliant deep blue, pale and dotted in the center. This is not a novelty 
but a little known annual, a native of California, which deserves a place in our 
gardens. Pkt., 15c. 
Rudbeckia 
746 KELVEDON STAB. A perfect long-stemmed flower for cutting, a sturdy and 
floriferous plant for bedding. The flowers vary both in form and in coloring, but 
all have dark brown centers, surrounded by a shining mahogany zone, deep 
golden petals. It is a rampant grower, reaching a height of 3 feet, and should 
be planted 18 inches apart, with 2 feet between rows. Will bloom from June until 
frost. Sowings should be made in February or March and the seedlings planted 
out during early May. Pkt., 20c. 
Salvia - Scarlet Sage 
One of the most useful and effective bedding plants, which produces immense 
masses of brilliant turkey-red flowers from early in the season, continuing in unin¬ 
terrupted succession until frost. Blooms are borne on long spikes well above the 
foliage and continue in good condition a long time. Spikes are often 8 to 10 inches 
long and have 30 to 40 tube-like flowers born in a feathery manner on each side of 
the stem.

749 AMEBICA or G-LOBE OF F1BE. This is the freest and most continuous bloom¬ 
ing of all the Scarlet Sages, also the most uniform in habit of growth, which

of a bright mid-blue, deeper than in the type, and very showy and effective. The 
plant is vigorous and fairly hardy, and may be had in bloom from August to 
October. Pkt., 20c.

Sanvitalia 
(Creeping Miniature Zinnia) 
751 PEOCUMBENS FL. PL. 6-inch. Sanvitalia flowers are much like tiny Zinnias, 
golden yellow with very dark purple centers, some single and others double. The 
plants are prostrate and creep over the soil instead of growing upward. They 
start blooming in June and continue until frost. Pkt., 10c; y B oz., 30c.

flowers excellent for cutting. Blossoms are

somewhat the shape of a pincushion. An effec- Salpiglossis— Painted Tongue 
tive plant for bedding or borders. 
Seed can be sown in open border and thinned out from 1 to 1% ft. apart. Grows 2 
to 2% ft. high. 
752 BOSETTE. As the result of many years’ selection and painstaking care in Rosette 
has been created a glorious new color in Annual Scabiosa. Rosette is a beautiful 
shade of deep rose, heavily suffused with salmon. The flowers are extra large and 
the stems are long and stiff. This glorious, glowing new color will undoubtedly make 
Rosette a most popular flower for the garden and also with the florist for cutting. 
A fitting companion to Scabiosa Loveliness, Peach Blossom and Shasta, which have 
received Awards of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Pkt., 15c; y B oz., 35c. 
753 BLUE COCKADE. This outstanding novelty is deeper than Azure Fairy in color, but 
the flowers are entirely devoid of any suggestion of rose. They are, in fact, the purest 
deep azure-blue that can be found in any annual. The formation of the flower is far 
ahead of existing varieties, and has so great a depth as to be almost conical in shape.
