RELIABLE SEEDS 
Dianthus, or Pinks 
A most satisfactory class of plants widely cultivated for their brilliantly colored flowers. 
The bushes are of compact growth, 12 to 18 inches in height, most easily grown and in 
continuous bloom until frost. The double Pinks are very pretty, quite similar to carna¬ 
tions and measure Ij inches across. Seed should be started indoors as early as possible, 
preferably in March or April, while outdoor sowings should be made about May. Suitable 
for planting either in beds or borders. 
HARDY PERENNIAL PINKS 
It is in May and June that these hardy Pinks are at their best and during that 
period the plants are literally smothered with bright-colored, delightfully fra¬ 
grant flowers. Seed may be sown from May to August and as the plants are very 
hardy they will winter over w'ith little protection. We would suggest planting a 
few of these Hardy Pinks which are deserving of a place in every garden.

ESCHSCHOLTZIA (California Poppy) 
The California Poppy is a most desirable flower for bedding. The plants, 
about 1 foot in height, have fine-cut foliage and may be seen in bloom all through 
the summer with single, poppy-like flowers, which range through shades of orange, 
yellow, crimson and white. It is best to sow the seed in the garden where the 
plants are to remain, as they do not transplant easily. The beautiful State flower 
of California.
