bloom from early June on through September. This dainty 
and pleasant newer annual is botanically APHANOSTEPHUS 
SKIRROBASIS, but you may order it if you wish as THE 
PINK-AND-WHITE DAISY, or instead, as the LAZY 
DAISY, a name sometimes given it because the plants

“THE SILK VINE 
The Silk Vine is a quick, low climber to be handled on a 
low trellis as one would Sweet Peas. Like the Sweet Pea, 
it is desirable for cutting. For months it is filled with 
sprays of blossoms in form of starred salvers, inch-high, 
inch-wide, petals of a thick, crispy waxiness, creamy 
white, or at times with faintest of pink suffusions. Flowers 
have a sweet, light perfume, and they hold well when cut, 
the graceful habit lending itself to unusual decorative 
effects. Seeds sown in position in early April will pro- 
duce plants flowering from mid-July into November. By 
sowing under glass, and transplanting, one may begin the 
flowering season a month earlier. Though usually grown 
as a garden annual, the Silk Vine is actually a tender 
perennial, and sometimes it is grown as a year-around 
pot plant in greenhouse or sun room. Botanically the Silk 
Vine is ARAUJIA SERICOFERA. Pkt. 20c; 3 pkt. for 50c.
