Northrup, King & Co.’s Strain of Early 
Flowering Cosmos 
Cypress Vine, Mixed 6 to 10 feet 
A hardy annual climber, producing deli- 
cate fern-like foliage and a profusion of 
star shaped, scarlet and white blossoms 
from midsummer until frost. Adaptable for 
training on a light, ornamental trellis. 
Dahlia, Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids, 
Mixed — 18 to 24 inches 
Early flowering, tender perennial—double 
and semi-double blooms. While dahlias are 
usually grown from tubers, vigorous plants 
with excellent flowers can be produced the 
first year from seed started early in boxes 
and planted out after frost danger is past. 
Delphinium, Gold Medal Hybrids 
(Perennial ) B towoatt: 
Tall sorts producing long stalks with 
beautiful, deeply cut, bright green leaves and 
long flower spikes in shades of blue. Excel- 
lent for backgrounds. A mixture of colors. 
Digitalis, Foxglove, Mixed 36 in. 
One of the old-fashioned garden flowers 
still popular. Long spikes crowded with 
thimble-like blooms spotted on the interiors. 
A hardy biennial excellent for backgrounds. 
Rose and white. 
Evening Scented Stock (Matthiola 
Bicornis) 15 inches 
Most easily grown hardy annual border 
plant. Odd gray-green foliage. The flowers 


open at night and emit a delightfully fra- 
grant odor in the evening or after a shower. 
Long, curious seed pods with double horn- 
like ends. Its greatest attraction is its per- 
fume, which fills the whole yard. 
Everlastings, Globe Amaranth 24 ins. 
This hardy annual Straw Flower produces 
bushy, symmetrical plants much desired for 
beds, made especially attractive by its 
blooms which are clover-like, only coarser 
and more fibrous. These purplish-red, white 
and striped blooms are excellent everlast- 
Ings, carrying through the winter nicely in 
dry bouquets. 
Everlastings, Helichrysum, 
Double Mixed 
2% feet. A beautiful, hardy annual ever- 
lasting. Flowers are very attractive when 
growing, and make exceptionally attractive 
winter bouquets if cut when partially open 
and dried in a cool place, heads downward. 
The centers of the double pompon-like flow- 
ers are nearly covered by the stiff over- 
lapping petals, with the stiff, pointed, outer 
petals growing in saucer shape. A wide 
range of brilliant and soft colors. 
Forget-me-not, Myosotis Alpestris 
8 to 12 inches. Beautiful little half hardy 
perennial plants suitable for borders, rock 
garden planting or potting for indoor deco- 
ration. If seeded in early spring, it will 
bloom the first year, or it may be sown in 
summer or early fall for blooms the next 
summer. To carry over the winter it must 
have protection. Moist and somewhat shady 
situations are required. The dainty, five 
petalled, blue flowers make their appearance 
in early Spring.
