CUPHEA FOR COLOR 
Thrice pleasant are they in their gaiety of coloring, oddity 
of blossom form, and long season of bloom display.

tractive blossoms in season-long profusion, the compact- 
foliaged plants at a little distance seeming to be 
covered with fluttering, bright-hued butterflies. There will

scarlet and vermilion. Illustrated above. Pkt. 15c; % oz.

THE COLDEN SWEET PEA 
Flowers of Sweet-pea form are carried in many erect 
spire-like spikes. The blossoms are glossy golden yellow. 
with bronze-brown markings on wing reverse. This is an 
exceedingly showy plant for garden decoration, in bloom 
through mid and late summ>?r. Botanically it is Crotalaria 
retusa. In offering it as the Golden Sweet Pea we are 
reviving the original introductory name for it, the first -re- 
corded offerirg in an American seed catalog being in 1896. 
The Golden Sweet Pea has a pleasing, somewhat elusive 
fragrance. Remember this is not a vine, it grows sturdily 
upright, many flower-loaded stems to some three feet of 
height. It is far easier to grow than the true Sweet. Pea. 
Sow it early. If seed is soaked well in warm water first, 
it will come up more quickly and evenly. eck(3-4)35. Pkt. 
15c; % oz. 25c; % oz. 40ce.

by digging up the roots in late autumn and storing them

THE RAINBOW PINKS

bow-painted hues, but patterned so fantastically, in such 
bizarre grotesqueries, that surely never a sober Rainbow 
could own to them. Though there will be lovely selfs in 
utmost white, in pinks, salmons, scarlets and crimson, it is 
the multitudes of others, with their contrasting edgings, 
lacings, splashings and zonings that interest so endlessly.
