Fourteen 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. A quick and 
showy annual for the spring months, May into July. Wide 
flowers of lilac-toned violet up-face on great graceful sways 
of long and slender stemming. Individual blossoms are 
often three inches across. It cuts well. A late introduc- 
tion, found near Milas, in Turkey. Be sure to sow it in 
very early spring. That’s the one catch to the culture of 
it. It must make its main  cowth before hot weather 
comes. Illustrated page 17. vkt. 15¢c; 3 pkts. for 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. 10e. 
ACROCLINIUM GIANT MIXED — ek(3)36. Daisy-flowers, 
semi-double to double, in white, pink and rose. Garden- 
pretty, but grow chiefly for drying as a straw-flower or 
everlasting. Pkt. 15¢c; 3 for 40c. 
ACTINOTIS HELIANTHI—ck(4)16. The strange Australian 
Flannel Flower. The white-wooly “blossom” reaches 4 
inches of diameter. Not easy; worth trying. Pkt. 15c. 
ADLUMIA FUNGOSA — estkt(3)60. Mountain Fringe or 
Allegheny Vine. Maiden-hair fern foliage, smoky purple 
flowers. Biennial, but self-sows. Shade. Naturalize it 
through shrubbery for oddly delightful effects. Pkt. 16c. 
AGERATUM or FLOSS-FLOWER 
This dainty, fluffy long-bloomer is easy to grow, and it 
makes a desirable edging plant. The taller kinds are at- 
tractive, long-lasting cut flowers. Sometimes the dwarf 
kinds are used in porch boxes. 
AGERATUM BLUE BALL—eirk(3-4)7. Low domes of in- 
tense blue. Uniform edging. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c. 
AGERATUM IMPERIAL DWARF WHITE —eirk(3-4)7. 
Fluffy, snowdrift white. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c. 
AGERATUM FAIRY PINK—eirk(3-4)6. Pale salmon pink 
flowers, flossily fluffy. Sow early. Pkt. 15c. 
GOLDEN AGERATUM—eick. It is really golden yellow, 
and it looks and behaves like an Ageratum, but botanically 
it isn’t an Ageratum at all, but Lonas inodora instead. 
The flowers are clustered closely, fluffy, made for every Ager- 
atum association and use, but if you want it for dwarf 
edging, be sure to sow it thickly (and early). Then you 
will have low ten-inch hedges of rich yellow fiuffiness. If 
you want it for cutting, or for garden specimen, then 
space so the individual plants will have ample room. 
Illustrated page 17. Pkt. 20c. 
AGERATUM CUT-FLOWER BLUE — ecbk(3-4)24. Tall 
branchings of azure fiuff. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 25c. 
AGERATUM CUT-FLOWER WHITE—As last, but soft 
white of summer clouds. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. 25c. 
AGERATUM LASSEAU XI—ecstk(3-4)20. It is called pink, 
but its myriad fliuff-flakes of blossoming are more in the 
memory-sweet coloring of the old dooryard Lilac. Lovely, 
long-profuse bloom for cutting. Technically an Eupatorium. 
Pkt. 15¢c; 3 pkts. 40c. 
OFFER 3A24—One pkt. each of the 7 for 75e. 

ABOUT PACKET PRICES—When we offer three 10c 
packets for 25c, or three 15¢ ones for 40c, or other 
“three’’ price groups, this means always that the three 
must be all one kind, never one each of three different 
kinds. Sorry! no exceptions to this rule. 

ALONSOA INCISIFOLIA—x(3-4)20. Pretty little flowers of 
salmon-rose-red. Fine foliage. Pkt. 16c. 
AMARANTHUS MOLTEN FIRE—ebx(3)48. Topped with 
fiery crimson floral leaves, and each branch ends in a 
“Poinsettia-flower”’ flaming foliage radiation. Pkt. 1b5c. 
ANACYCLUS RADIATUS—ebk(3-4)25. An easy daisy from 
Morocco and Algeria that we rather like. The flowers vary 
from softest creamy primrose to deepest golden yellow. 
The buds are the reverse of the petals in the creamy forms 
are rose tinted, those of the deeper yellows are backed 
with bronze tones. Fern-like foliage. Thrives in hot, dry 
places. Pkt. 15¢ (3 for 40c). 
ANAGALLIS BLUE—eiruk(2-4)8. Blue brilliance for sum- 
mer-long effect. Low, undulate spreads. For edgings, rock 
gardens, porch boxes, even for pot culture. Quick, long in 
bloom. Pkt. 10c (3 for 25c.)

lovely rosy pink they will be to you. Pkt. 10c; 4 oz. 2b5c.
