1503 Cleome (Spider Flower) 
Giant Pink Queen 
Huge trusses of bright salmon-pink top the long stems of this 
distinctly novel plant. Cleome, Giant Pink Queen is a hardy an- 
nual easily grown from seed planted directly in the border or 
garden. It blooms abundantly from midsummer to late fall. As 
the lower flowers on the trusses fade to blush-pink, others come 
on, and the seed pods, forming on wiry stems along the stalk, 
give a curiously fantastic and attractive appearance, This is the 
reason for the name, “Spider-Flower.” 
The average height of Cleome, Giant Pink Queen is 3 feet,. but it 
often grows taller. It is striking in the background of a border and 
for outlining a driveway. As a cut flower it is delightful, combining 
especially well with lavender or blue. It is well adapted to any part 
of the country and is said not to be susceptible to plant diseases or 
to damage by insect pests. Pkt., 25c. Awarded Silver Medal for All-
