mination, 10-80 Days. Nothing better for back- 
ground or among shrubs. Blooms sometimes 
first year; always second year. 5-8 feet tall. 
Will grow anywhere. Originally from the gar- 
dens of the Old World. 
Allegheny Semi-Double, Fringed Mixed, Mam- 
moth flowers. 
KOCHIA (Fire Bush)—Normal germination, 10 
Days. The seed should be sown when the oak 
trees are bursting into leaf. The plants develop 
very rapidly, finally reaching three feet in 
height, and forming perfect globes of green, 
feathery branches, which turn red after frost. 
Anyone can grow this plant in almost any sit- 
uation, and we accordingly recommend it most 
highly. An annual hedge plant. 3 feet. Native 
both in Europe and United States. 
LARKSPUR (Annual Delphinium)—Normal ger- 
mination, 20-25 Days. Larkspur is of unsur- 
passed merit for massing in the border, as well 
as for cutting. Native to many parts of North 
Temperate Zone. Tall, upright, base-branching 
in habit, the Giant Imperials have passed. all 
other types of Larkspur for florists’ and gen- 
eral garden use. The Delphinium-like spikes of 
double flowers, carried on stems 4-5 feet long, 
are compactly placed on upright growing 
plants, requiring only ahout half the space 
needed for the old Stock Flowered type. May be 
started either indoors or outside, but indoors 
starting improves the quality of the flowers. 
Placing the seed in a refrigerator for from 24 
to 48 hours immediately before planting always 
induces greater and higher germination,

8-10 Days, No annual is a more general favor- 
ite than the Mignonette. Of the easiest culture, 
it adapts itself to all situations, but prefers a 
coo] rich soil in a shady position. Sow where 
wanted to grow, or else handle in pots, as they 
do not transplant well. Its greatest usefulness is 
in combination with those cut-flowers which 
lack the fragrance in which this flower so 
abounds, Reseda is found in Southern Europe, 
Northern Africa, the Canary Islands, and some 
species in the U. S.

northern winters. Leaves are large and the 
flowers, which open as the sun is sinking are 
very fragrant. We have found it best to plant 
the seeds one half inch deep, after having 
soaked them overnight in warm water. Early 
planting essential. Use no fertilizer.
