X-L FLOWER SEEDS 

More than ever will the pride that comes from beautiful, 
well grown flowers be needed to keep our spirits buoyed 
up. Flowers are “food for the soul’’ and will help keep 
our minds off the state of affairs. In addition consider the 
relaxation and restfulness of spending from fifteen minutes 
to an hour daily in growing beautiful plants. 
Of course many families will reduce the size of their 
annual beds to make room for vegetables, and justly so, but 
every home can find room for a few of their favorites. The 
new flowers offered this year are especially good—we have 
tried Dazzler and Orange Ruffles Cosmos which are of- 
fered for the first time this year and find them exceptionally 
grand. An other variety that is sure to create much at- 
tention is the All-American winner. ALL DOUBLE PETUNIA. 
Among those introduced last year are Phlox, Red Glory, Pink 
Cleome, and Pearly Gates Morning Glory which more than 
lived up to their glowing description and publicity. And 
if you are one of the many who will have a boy (or a 
girl) home on leave from the Armed Forces—a tidy flower 
bed will help show them just ‘‘what they are fighting for.’

Plans for lay-out 

Ageratum—Blue Ball 
1005—MIDGET BLUE. This silver medal winner in the All- 
America selections for 1939 filled a long felt need for a 
really dwarf blue bedding or border flower. Midget Blue 
never grows more than two to three inches high, with very 
fine and delicate foliage. However, the foliage is seldom 
noticed because it is generally covered with small true 
Ageratum Blue flowers. This variety was used to very good 
advantage in the Great Falls parks last year in their red, 
white, and blue beds. Pkt., 15c. ; 
ANCHUSA (A)

is compact, neat and dwarf. The small, sweetly 
scented flowers are a very rich, deep shade of violet.

Instead of sowing flower seeds in a straight row, plant 
several in a group spaced 4, 6, 8, 10 inches apart depend- 
ing on the size of the matured plant. It eliminates much 
thinning, makes cultivation easier, saves time and seed.
