R 1C IN US (Castor-Oil Plant)

even taller if planted in well-manured ground. Start a few in the hotbed 
in small pots, one seed to a pot, and you will have plants ready for bedding 
out in May.

SCHLING’S NEW CANDELABRA VARIETIES 
Instead of branching out from the bottom, the plants of this sensational 
new type send up a strong center stem, which in rich soil attains the height 
of 4 to 5 feet. Commencing about 18 inches above the ground and along its 
entire length, this stem sends forth slender side branches full of beautifully 
marked, large, petunia-like flowers, branching more freely towards the end 
of the stem and finally ending with a veritable bouquet. The whole plant 
has a wonderful appearance and in the border is stately and effective. 
The individual flowers, too, are larger than the ordinary Salpiglossis, and 
the colorings and markings include all the finest shades found in orchids. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of 6 separate colors, $1.50; Finest Mixed, pkt. 25 cts.

when all danger of frost is past.
