CYNOGLOSSUM, AMABILE. (Chinese Forget-Me-Not). 
Hardy Annual. 
An easily grown and showy plant, 18 to 24 inches high, that is related to the 
Borage family. It has many sprays of tiny Forget-Me-Not-like flowers. 
Fairy Blue. A new and most improved variety, with bright blue flowers 
blooming throughout the summer. It contrasts effectively with soft pink 
Asters or Zinnias, or with other flowers in shades of yellow. Pkt. 10c. 
Pink. This is similar to the blue variety in habit, but has a profusion of 
lovely, deep pink blooms. Pkt. 10c. 
DAHLIA. 
Tender perennial. Although Dahlias are usually grown from tuberous 
roots, growing them from seed is exceedingly interesting. It is this way that 
new varieties are originated. If sown early, many will bloom the first year. 
The roots, thus started, should be stored over winter in a frost-proof place 
and all will bloom the second year. 
Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids. These small-flowered, semi-double Dahlias 
come in lovely colors, on dwarf, bushy plants. Attractive for cutting. 
Pkt. 20c. 
Cactus Flowered. Finest Mixed from named varieties. Seed saved 
from exhibition blooms. Splendid colors. Pkt. 25c. 
DELPHINIUM. (Hardy Larkspur). 
Perennial. No garden flowers today are more cherished than the beautiful 
blue Delphiniums. They make a wonderful showing in June and when cut 
back, often bloom the second time. February sown seed will frequently 
bloom the first year, but with not as strong a spike as the second year* 
Seed may be sown in the open ground in May, making nice plants by fall. 
Sow the seed in a mixture of sifted garden loam, yi leaf mould or peat¬ 
moss, and Yi sand. Cover not more than J^-inch with the same sifted soil. 
Water carefully, but thoroughly, and keep moist, but not wet until germina¬ 
tion takes place, which may be in ten to fifteen days. If sown out of doors, 
a light shade is necessary until the seedlings become strong. If sown in¬ 
doors, keep in a temperature of 60® to 70® Fahrenheit with plenty of air 
circulation for a month, transplanting when the’seedlings have the second 
pair of true leaves.
