California 
Poppy 

Branching Aster 
Asters 
One of the most popular garden flowers because of its beautiful blooms 
and its ability to thrive in any soil. It is a profuse bloomer and its flowers 
are as lasting as those of the chrysanthemum and equally lovely m color. 
Sow seed 1% inch deep in open ground for plants which will bloom in 
September and October. Transplant when plants have three or four 
leaves, 12 to 18 inches apart each way. For July and August flowers, sow 
in March or April, in the coldframe or in pots or boxes indoors. Our seed 
is composed of the best selected strains and will produce blooms of all 
shades—crimson, dark blue, light blue, pink, and white. 



Bachelor’s Buttons 
One of the prettiest of our blue flowers, which also comes in a pure 
white and a rose form. Everyone knows the “Cornflower,” another name 
given it. It is very hardy, of the easiest culture, and a profuse bloomer. 
This is more familiarly known as the “Lady Slipper,” and is so well 
known as to need little description. Seed sown in May will soon produce 
handsome bushes covered with large rose-like flowers of pink, red, yellow, 
white, and various combinations of colors. Height 11% feet. 
Calendula 
This hardy annual will supply the brightest colors in the garden from Calendula 
seed sown in early spring. The blooms—red, yellow, and orange in color— 
are borne on long, stout stems, and are excellent for cutting. Blooms 
profusely all season, until late autumn. Height 1 foot. 
California Poppy 
A most effective hardy annual when planted in masses. The plants 
average a foot in height and are covered with large, pure yellow, poppy- 
like blooms from early spring to frost. Easily grown in all localities. 
Candytuft 
One of the best hardy annuals for bedding, edging, massing, rockeries, 
or cutting. They are profuse bloomers with white, pink, carmine, and 
purple flowers. If sown outdoors at intervals from April to July, a suc- 
cession of bloom may be had until fall. They demand rich soil and 
plenty of water. 
If the proper varieties of flower seeds are planted you 

can have blooms all summer until late autumn
