GOLDEN 
CLEOME 
NOVELTIES 
Dwarf Chinese 
Forget-Me-Not 
A new color In the spider flower. Blossoms resemble Cleome Pungens 
in form, but are of a rich gold, approaching orange, carried in abundance 
on stems which will grow eight feet. To keep them lower, crowd the 
plants. Like Cleome Pungens, its rose colored cousin, the flowers of tills 
plant are attractive to bees. This is one of the most vigorously growing 
annuals, and can be used to fill up large gaps in the border. The plants 
grow with a single stem, which develops wide spreading branches, each of 
which terminates in a profuse raceme of golden blossoms. It is a 
tender perennial which we grow as an annual. It prefers a location in 
the full sun. and likes sandy soil. The flowering season lasts from 
mid-July until killing frosts arrive. Pkt. 25c, 3 for 65c, postpaid.
