GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
The great advantage of this 
type is that the very large 
flowers are of enormous size and 
flat, getting away from the 
conical type of the Giants and 
eliminating the stiffness that 
has been so objectionable in 
Zinnias in the past. The flowers 
from the time they open are at¬ 
tractive, making them a good 
cut flower from the early bud 
until they are in full bloom. 
They are twice the size of the 
ordinary Giants. 
WILD CUCXJMBER—One of 
the most rapid growing vines 
for covering trellis or for shad' 
ing windows. The seeds are very 
hard and should be sacrified be' 
fore planting. Fall sown seed 
will generally germinate by early 
spring. Postpaid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 
25c. 
WILD FLOWER GARDEN— 
A well balanced mixture of 
flower seeds suitable for plant' 
ing in corners and vacant areas 
around the garden. Postpmd.

each winter, and since they must be replanted 
each spring, they permit new arrangements and 
different color schemes. But perennials grow 
year after year, and consequently should occupy 
some permanent place in your garden. 
WHO PLANTS ANNUALS 
Everyone who grows flowers — the home 
owner, the renter, the window'box gardener, the 
penthouse dweller—even the summer campers.

The FLOWER GARDEN 
The Experienced Amateur Gardener 
Can Be of Great Assistance to Mr. and 
and Mrs. Beginner Gardener— 
and can tell you how you can have a 
modest garden of fragrance and beauty 
at a trifling cost. “Your garden,’’ they 
will tell you, “should grow from year 
to year as your taste and need changes. 
Don’t undertake too much.’’ 
SOME HELPFUL HINTS . . . 
The Plan: Put it on paper. Really, 
planning is one of the thrills of gar' 
dening you will most enjoy. Spring, 
you know, comes early on the calendar 
of the gardener, and if you have 
planned well, your planting is already 
half begun. 
Choice of Flowers: There are a host 
of lovely flowers and shrubs from 
which to choose. The beginner will 
get the greatest satisfaction from the 
tried, easy'to'grow standard varieties. 
Flowers may be roughly classed as 
Annuals or Perennials. Annuals die 
border, a nook or corner. Beds allow depth and 
massing, color and display. Borders are for hill' 
sides, terraces, hedges, rock walls, fences, and 
paths 
Color harmony is a study in itself. There are 
many blue flowers to choose from. And as many 
gplds. And even more whites. Also choice red 
overtones. 
Height is important. Remember, you grow flow' 
ers to be seen. So small ones should be planted 
to the front, mediums in the middle, and tall 
ones in the back.
