delicate primrose petals and brown center.

stiff stems.

for borders, beds or cut flowers. Erect, bushy 
plants with attractive lignt green foliage. 
Rapid growers and constant bloomers. The 
stalks bear quantities of delicately colored 
double flowers in shades of red, white, pink 
and purple. Each stalk resembles a spray of 
Flowering Almond, and the blooms are 
placed axially along its length. Each bloom 
about % inch across, resembling a small

Cleome Giant Pink Queen 
(Spiderflower) 3 to 5 feet 
All America Silver Medal winner in 1942. 
A hardy, easily grown annual with a sensa- 
tionally colorful display of bright, salmon 
pink flowers borne throughout the season. 
This member of the Caper family is most 
bizarre and interesting in its general ap- 
pearance and particularly in its structure of 
flowers and seed pods. The flowers emerge 
bright pink, change to a pale pink as they 
grow older beneath the newly forming 
blooms, then finally remain as long stemmed 
decorative pods beneath and around the col- 
orful blooms. An interestingly different 
flower for background or specimen planting.
