tiums are the result of a “cross” between the

fashioned singles. Flowers of salmon, golden- 
yellow, orange-scarlet, cerise, cream-yellow, 
orange, crimson, and gold flushed with scarlet 
combine with the fresh green foliage. Stems are 
long, and bear flowers well above the leaves.

able water.

sorts, ideally suited for beds and borders. These 
flowers require very little care and thrive al- 
most anywhere, enduring heat and dry weather - 
remarkably well. The mixture has a riot of color

bacco somewhat resembles a Petunia, but has 
a longer tube, and more pronounced petals.

erful perfume. Blooms all summer and autumn, 
and shows shades of blue, red, white, rose and 
pink. 2 feet. Native of Brazil, Uruguay and 
Paraguay. 
PANSIES — Normal germination, 8-40 Days. 
Seeds should be sown indoors early in spring or 
outdoors during August and plants protected 
in Winter. Seed sometimes is slow to germi- 
nate, and needs plenty of heat and moisture. 
Though perennials, pansies are best treated as 
annuals. All pansies do best in soil that is rich, 
cool and moist, and partial shade is advan- 
tageous. They are natives of the North and 
South Temperate Zones. (New crop seed ready 
late July of each year). 
Landreths’ All Giants Mixed. An excellent large 
flowering’ strain. 
PETUNIAS — Normal germination, 8-15 Days.

ture, producing a fine effect. In the garden or 
green-house they flower in great profusion. Will 
grow in any soil, but the richer the soil the 
better the effect. They require a sunny position 
for best results. Fine for window boxes. Follow 
instructions on packet carefully. As is not gen- 
erally realized, Petunias make excellent cut 
flowers for low and flat bowls. Are wildings of 
‘southern South America. 
Special Mixed. 
POPPY—Normal germination, 6-15 Days. Every 
garden should have a supply of Poppies. They 
fit in almost anywhere and the. perennial vari- 
eties remain for years. Sow seed in open ground 
in spring or fall, or may be sown on top of the 
snow, and thawing will take them down into 
the earth in Nature’s own way. Poppies may 
be used as cut-flowers, if cut just before the 
bud opens, which will open in water. Poppies in 
their various forms are found all over the 
world, but in Europe and the Orient more than 
anywhere else.

Maltese cross.
