GYPSOPHILA 
(BABY’S BREATH) 
Graceful plants of light fairy-like growth, 
covered with tiny white flowers. In great 
demand for combining with sweet peas and 
other cut flowers. Note that there are two 
kinds. the annual and perennial. 
ANNUAL WHITE. ¥F47. Blooms first year 
from seed. Good plan to sow this every few 
weeks so as to have a constant supply to 
use with cut flowers. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c. 
ANNUAL PINE. 
dainty pink. Pkt. 10c; 
F474. Same as above, but

white. About one-fourth come double flowers.

Let Baby’s Breath, called “‘Gyp” for short, 
Among your hardy plants cavort. 
The annual strains in white and pink 
Burst into bloom quite soon, I think. 

African Daisies 
GOLDEN AFRICAN DAISY. F098. Annual. 
Orange-gold with black zone around center. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
AFRICAN DAISY HYBRIDS. F099. Similar

Mexican Fire Bush (Kochia) 
F73. Also called Summer Cypress. The moss- 
like green foliage turns to deep carmine in 
fall. Makes inexpensive showy hedge. Im- 
proved giant strain. May be thinned to sev- 
eral feet apart, so each plant will stand 
alone, like an evergreen. Or, if a foot or 80 
apart, will make a hedge. Plants may be 
trimmed and shaped like the perennial 
hedges. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25c. 

That “Fire Bush’? from Mexico 
Is far from bad, as hedges go. 
Looks nice behind a flower bed. 
As summer wanes, the plants turn red.

‘‘That ain’t the way I heerd it’’ 
The way I heerd it, one feller sez to t’other 
feller: ‘‘Let’s go fishin’ Sattidy afternoon.” 
Second feller sez, ‘“‘Gee, I’m crazy to go, but 
got my home work to do, goldern it.” 
First feller sez, ‘“Whatcha mean, home work? 
You hain’t back in school account your second 
childhood creepin’ up on ye, is ye?” 
Second feller sez: ‘‘No, but thought I’d save 
money last spring by buying cheap grass seed 
for my lawn. Seems like I got a million weed 
seeds in it. Got shed of most all now but that 
tarnation plantin. It’s a dernsite wors’n dan- 
delion.”’ 
First feller sez: ‘“‘Zat so? Too bad. Live and 
larn. I got my grass seed from Long. I don’t 
have home work, so I’m goin’ fishin’. Bring 
you a mess if I have good luck. So long.”
