Flowering Cosmos 
Cynoglossum Dwarf Firmament 
15-18 inches 
All America Bronze Medal Winner 1939. 
A showy, dwarf edging or bedding plant 
with a mass of bright indigo blue flowers 
similar to Forget Me Not. Very easy of 
culture, and usually productive even in poor 
soils. An excellent cut flower and a beauti- 
ful addition to any bed or border. 
Cypress Vine, Mixed 6 to 10 feet 
A beautiful annual climber, producing 
delicate fern-like foliage and a profusion of 
star shaped, scarlet and white blossoms 
from midsummer until frost. Adaptable for 
training on a light, ornamental trellis. 
Dahlia, Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids, 
Mixed 18 to 24 inches 
Early flowering, tender perennial—double 
and semi-double blooms. While dahlias are 
usually grown from tubers, vigorous plants 
with excellent flowers can be produced the 
first year from seed started early in boxes 
and planted out after frost danger is past. 
Delphinium, Gold Medal Hybrids 
Hardy Perennial 3 to 5 feet 
Tall sorts producing long stalks with 
beautiful, deeply cut, bright green leaves and 
long flower spikes in shades of blue. Excel- 
lent for backgrounds. A mixture of colors. 
Digitalis, Foxglove, Mixed 36 in. 
One of the old-fashioned garden flowers 
still popular. Long spikes crowded with 
thimble-like blooms with spotted throats. 
A hardy biennial excellent for backgrounds. 
Rose and white. 
Evening Scented Stock (Matthiola 
Bicornis) 15 inches 
Most easily grown hardy annual border 
plant. Odd gray-green foliage. The flowers 
are inconspicuous and closed by day but 
open at night and emit a delightful fra- 
grance. Long, curious seed pods with double 
horn-like ends. Its greatest attraction is 
its perfume, which fills the whole yard. 
Dianthus Heddewigi Laciniatus, 
Mixed (See also pinks) 12 inches 
An easily grown, showy annual with large, 
fragrant, fringed flowers in a wide range of 
beautiful colors. This is one of the loveliest 
of all Pinks, and with its ease of culture, its 
adaptability to most garden situations and 
its beauty as a cut flower, should be in 
every garden. 
Everlastings, Globe Amaranth 24 ins. 
This annual Straw Flower produces bushy, 
symmetrical plants which bear a profusion 
of colorful, attractive, clover-like flowers 
which are beautiful either in the garden or 
in bouquets. These purplish-red, white and 
striped blooms are excellent everlastings, 
carrying through the winter nicely in dry 
bouquets. 
Everlastings, Helichrysum, 
Double Mixed 
2% feet. A beautiful, hardy annual ever- 
lasting. Flowers are very attractive when 
growing, and make exceptionally attractive 
winter bouquets if cut when partially open 
and dried in a cool place, heads downward. 
The centers of the double pompon-like flow- 
ers are nearly covered by the stiff over- 
lapping petals, with the pointed outer petals 
growing in saucer shape. A wide range of 
both brilliant and soft colors.
