(PERENNIAL) 
1156. CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. H. P.

June to October and require little 
space and thrive in ordinary soil. 
They are of great value to the gar- 
dener as the graceful flowers in deli- 
cate shades of blue and lavender 
borne on long and erect stems make 
them very valuable as cut flowers 
throughout the season. No perennial 
garden is complete without them. 
This new strain of giant hybrids is 
very beautiful and a great improve- 
ment over the older types, being 
more vigorous and larger with longer 
stems and larger petals. Plants grow 
to 18 inches in height and the laven- 
der shades of flowers are frilled on 
the edges. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c;

resembling a Daisy, is one of the 
most interesting of the new flowers. 
It begins to flower when the plants 
are about, six inches tall and keeps 
right on throughout the season until 
the late frosts of autumn. It never 
looks untidy as the dozens of newly 
opened flowers prevent the faded 
ones from becoming prominent. 
Flowers are single and a lovely shade 
of golden-orange with a_ delicate 
lemon-yellow’ stripe through each 
petal, while the center is a dark 
brown with the young flowers turning 
to golden-orange as the flower de- 
velops. Plants reach a height of 
eight to ten inches, and with plenty 
of room for development, they spread 
as much as_ two feet in a _ season. 
Literally hundreds of flowers are open 
at a time. It is excellent for borders 
or edging and also for window boxes 
or for growing in the garden where 
a dwarf growing plant with vivid 
coloring is desired. They last nearly 
two weeks when cut and placed in 
water. It usually begins to flower ten 
weeks after the seed is sown. Pkt.,
