but worthy of greater attention. Height, 8 to 18 inches.

LINUM, Crimson Flax (a) 
GRANDIFLORUM RUBRUM. An old favorite with large, rich 
crimson blooms borne profusely on plants growing 18 to 24 
inches tall. Though the flowers last only one day, new ones 
appear every morning. Pkt. 10c. 
LOBELIA (a) 
A dainty and continuous blooming annual of compact growth, 
remarkable for its profusion of beautiful blue flowers. Unex- 
celled for edging, ribbon beds, hanging baskets or window 
boxes. Height, about 6 inches.

ing. Best dark blue for edging. Fine for pots. Pkt. 10c.

pots and flower boxes where it can trail over the edge and dis- 
play its beautiful deep blue, white-eyed flowers. Pkt. 10c. 
LUPIN, Sun Dials 
Thrive in almost any situation. Sow where they are to bloom 
in May, and as plants grow, thin out to 1 foot apart. The an- 
nual varieties bloom freely from June until September, and the 
perennials make a fine addition to the hardy border. 
RUSSELL LUPINS. Long, closely furnished spikes flower in a 
great variety of rich colors—deep yellows, oranges, reds, and 
brilliant bi-colors never seen in Lupins before. The florets are 
large with a flat fan-like back-standards, and unlike all other 
Lupins, most of the spikes retain their florets throughout the 
whole period of development. Awarded the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society’s Gold Medal, June, 1937. Pkt. 25c. 
MARIGOLD (a) 
Late in the season when many other growing things are past 
their prime, these plants supply an abundance of decorative 
blossoms. Their tones of orange and yellow blend well when 
the flowers are arranged loosely in bowls and vases. The bright 
green foliage is finely cut, and the stems are stout. Tall Mari- 
golds give charm to the border, while the dwarfs are valuable 
for bedding and edging plants. 
SPRY. The most profuse blooming of all Marigolds. Extremely 
dwarf and compact, their maximum height being 9 inches and 
their spread 15 inches. Flowers are composed of a pincushion 
crest. Center bright, clear yellow and guard petals are a 
lovely contrasting mahogany-red. Pkt. 25c.
