ANNUALS HERE 
Fifteen pages of quick flowers for the summer (and 
autumn) garden, all being plants that will bloom freely 
and long the same season that the seed is sown. 
AGROSTEMMA NEW MILAS—ecbkt(2-3)35. Here is long- 
time spring brightness, starting in early May and lasting 
until mid-July. The wide flowers of lilac-toned violet are 
marked with radiating white striations, and they face 
upward. Individual blooms often reach 3 inches of diam- 
eter. Stems are long, slender, with widely spaced foliage, 
so that the plants show as great, graceful sways cof blos- 
soming. It cuts well. Be sure to sow it right early, about 
as early in spring as conditions permit. It must have a 
cool start, else it will not grow and bloom thriftily. Jllws- 
trated this page. Pkt. 20c; % oz. 40c. 
ABRONIA UMBELLATA—eogrdx(3-5)5. Clustered, frag- 
rant, rose-hued blossoms over mats of fat, crispy foliage. 
Rock garden or hot, dry ground cover. Pkt. 10c. 
ACROCLINIUM GIANT MIXED—ek(3)16. Strawflower or 
Everlasting. Semi-double to double flowers, white, soft pink, 
rose. Botanically Helipterum. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 25¢e. 
ACTINOTIS HELIANTHI—ck(4)16. The strange Australian 
Flannel Flower. ‘The white-wooly “blossom” reaches 4 
inches of diameter. Not easy; worth trying. Pkt. 1lb5c. 
AGERATUM or FLOSS-FLOWER 
It blooms pretty much all season long, but that’s only 
one of the several good reasons why it is so valued for 
edgings or for massing. It is a splendid cut flower, too, 
few others lasting as long in water, and that goes for 
the Golden and for the pink Lasseauxi, as well as for the 
older White and Blue. 
AGERATUM BLUE BALL—eirk(3-4)7. Low domes of in- 
tense blue. A uniform edging. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c. 
AGERATUM IMPERIAL DWARF WHITE — eirbk(3-4) 7. 
Purest fluffy white snowdrifts. Plant it where it shows 
at dusk, it gives back day’s light. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 20c. 
AGERATUM FAIRY PINK—eirk(3-4)6. Pale salmon pink 
flowers, flossily fluffy. Sow early. Pkt. 5c. 
GOLDEN AGERATUM—It is really golden yellow, clusters 
wide, deep, rich, fluffy. A most effective edger or bedder, 
and delightful for cutting, lasting then even longer than 
do other Ageratums. For edging use, sow thickly and thin 
little; so you will have close, low ten-inch hedges of golden 
fluffiness. For cutting use, though, or for garden display, 
space and feed fairly to get well-stemmed 20-inch beauties. 
Not truly an Ageratum, just called that because it looks 
like an Ageratum and fits well with them. Botanists make 
it Lonas inodora. Illustrated this page. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 
oz. 25c; 1/16 oz. 45c. 
AGERATUM CUT-FLOWER BLUE — ecbk(3-4)24. Bright 
azure blue, densely clustered in tall branching effect. Ex- 
cellent cut flower. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz. 25c. 
AGERATUM CUT-FLOWER WHITE—White and soft as 
high-piled summer clouds. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz. 25c. 
AGERATUM LASSEAUXII—eck(3-4)20. Pink it is called, 
but the blossoms, showers of fluff-flakes caught all through 
the wide branchings, have more the memory-sweet coloring 
of the old door-yard Lilac; name it pink-toned lavender. 
The long-profuse bloom will be enjoyed for cutting. Bo- 
tanically an annual Eupatorium. Pkt. 15¢ (3 for 40c). 
OFFER 3A23—One pkt. each of the 7 for 70c. 
One must first have the dream. | 
ANACYCLUS RADIATUS—ebk(3-4)25. It’s Morocco again,

verse, to others of deep golden hue, the buds and petal- 
backs then bronzd. Pkt. 10c; x oz. 25c. 
ADLUMIA FUNGOSA—estkt(3)60. Mountain Fringe or Al- 
leghany Vine. Fern-like foliage, flower pale smoky purple 
in Dicentra reminder. Biennial vine, usually self-sowing. 
Pkt. 10c. 
ANAGALLIS SCARLET PIMPERNEL—eruk(2-4)8. Scarlet 
it must be, by virtue of romance and the Baroness Orezy, 
though we see it rather as an odd and pleasing terra cotta 
red. Long in bloom. Pkt. 10c; 1% oz. 20c. 
ANAGALLIS or BLUE PIMPERNEL—eruk(2-4)8. Tur- 
quoise, spreading undulate blue brilliance, for long summer-

SWEET ALYSSUM 
Free-blooming, long-blooming annuals, quick to grow, use- 
ful for edgings, borders, pot culture, rock gardens, window 
boxes, bedding. Botanically these are Lobularias, though 
quite usually called Alyssums. 
ALYSSUM CARPET OF SNOW—eik(2-4)4. The name de- 
scribes it, a fragrant, snowy carpet. Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 30c. 
ALYSSUM VIOLET QUEEN—eik(2-4)6. A row of it is a 
ribbon of rich, deep violet, a most attractive tone of it, all 
summer, all autumn. The more we grow it, the better we 
like it. Practically everblooming. Pkt. 10c; 4% oz. 20c; 
% oz. 85e.

ALYSSUM CREAMY VARIETY—eik(2-4)7. Blossoms of a 
rich cream tint, not far from primrose. Pkt. 10c. 
ANODA or AMAPOLITO 
The Anodas are quick and long-blooming annuals of both 
easy handling and a high attractiveness. Sow them early, 
and there will be flowers by first week of June, continuing 
until black frosts of late autumn mark period. Anoda is 
good from the beginning, but it is just another pretty 
flower until after the first of September . Then massed 
plantings of it will give you some of the finest decorative 
effects of the garden, almost spectacular. These are varieties 
of Anoda lavateroides. 
ANODA OPALCUP — ecbx(8)48. Chalice-flowers, crinkly 
and lustrous in that delightful opaline borderland that lies 
between blue and pink. See them at bright noon and you 
will swear they are blue, but let your viewing be at days- 
end, when blossoms glow in long rays of a downing sun, 
and it is a warm and lovely rosy pink they will be to you. 
Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 75e. Illustrated page 22. 
ANODA SNOWCUP—ecbx(8)35. Blossoms white as new 
snow, glistening, sun-shunting. The plants are about a foot 
lower than those of Opaleup, each an oval of flower and 
foliage in even, almost formal, effect. It is good as spaced 
specimens, or you can sow continuous rows of it as a 
flowering hedge, a use to which its quick growth, dense 
habit, and long blooming season make it particularly fitted. 
We would rate this as the finest all round, white-flowered 
garden annual in cultivation. Pkt. 10c; %4 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 25c.
