CUPHEA Firefly. Firefly has all the characteristics needed in a dwarf, compact plant. The 
flowers are delicately formed, fiery cerise red in color, and are freely produced. The general 
effect when in full bloom is a ball of fire. This subject recommends itself for the rockery 
window boxes and flower pots or as a border or edging plant. It is a tender annual, 
flowering readily in twelve to fourteen weeks from seeds, and blooms profusely throughout 
the summer months.

HOLLYHOCK Annual Double Scarlet Beauty. A fully double Hollyhock of the Chater type which 
will flower in six months from the time seed is sown. The color is a pure intense scarlet and 
is the first of what will later be a whole race of annual double-flowering Hollyhocks. Plants 
will winter satisfactorily where Chaters varieties do, and the variety is classed as a perennial 
that blooms the first year from seed.

Balsam Double Bush Flowered 
CYNOGLOSSUM AMABILE 
COMPACTUM "FIRMAMENT" 
(Awarded Bronze Medal by 
"All America" Council) 
This is a welcome new dwarf type of 
Chinese forget-me-not, selected from a 
mutation out of C. amabile Fairy Blue. 
Trial reports show it is true and uni¬ 
form stock. Fifteen to eighteen inches 
tall and bushy, and of rich blue color, 
always in garden demand. It should 
prove the most popular of all cynoglos- 
sums. Its growth allows it to be planted 
with the pink variety, which likewise 
does not grow so weedy or rank as C. 
amabile. It is about the easiest thing 
to grow among flowers and should 
prove a garden favorite. 'It can also be 
used as cut flower material.
