annuals. It is easy to grow, blooms in a short time from seed, 
and can be seeded directly in the open ground where it is to 
remain. Sow the seed after danger of frost is past and give a 
light covering. In a few weeks time, you will have a mass of 
blossoms. Candytuft is also very desirable for window and 
porch boxes. Our special strain of Giant White is one of the 
finest of cutflower sorts and should be in every garden.

Single Dahlia 
CANTERBURY BELLS (HX 30 in.) 
This is one of the most beautiful and showy of garden plants, 
In the South it can be treated as a hardy biennial but in the 
colder climates, it may die out in the winter. Sow the seed 
very early in the spring indoors and transplant after heavy 
frosts are over. Or sow seed in the summer for next spring’s 
blooms. The single flowers are of much neater appearance than 
the doubles.
