STAR OF TEXAS Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c; 14oz. 65c; oz. $2 
An easily grown annual. The single daisy flowers, 144 inches across, have long-pointed, light canary-yellow petals 
with paler centers. The thin strong stems are not long but good for cutting. The very vigorous, branching plants, 
18 inches high and often 18 inches across, bloom very freely and are quite hardy. Sow in open ground in early 
spring in dry sunny location. Fine planted with Tahoka Daisy. 
STATICE 
Sea Lavender. Cloud-like masses of small flowers which make gay borders and are extremely useful for 
mixing through bouquets of cut-flowers. Their delicate coloring and light graceful habit adapt them 
for dried winter bouquets. Sow in the open ground in May, barely covering the seed, and have plants 
stand 1 foot or more apart to allow development. For earlier flowers start the seed indoors in March 
and transplant in May, to a sunny, well-drained location. Seed is of slow germination.

STOCKS 
Gilliflower. This much-beloved flower comes in charming colors and has delightful fragrance. Seed 
strains are bred to produce the prized double flowers, but a number of singles will appear. Stocks are 
ideal for bedding and cut-flower borders where the summers are not too hot. They require a light, 
rich soil, but avoid fresh manure. In warm latitudes it is best to plant them in a shady location. For 
outside culture start the seed indoors in February and set the plants out, to stand 1 foot apart, in 
April to bloom im June. Be sure to provide shade after transplanting, until established. 
Improved Giant Bismarck, Mixed. Pkt. 15c; y50z. 40c; Woz. $1.15; oz. $3.50; WYIb. $11 
Also called Early Giant Imperial, this is the best for both inside and outdoor culture. The 214-foot plants have 
robust, pyramidal form, with long-stemmed, large spikes of double very early flowers. For cut-flowers in a green- 
house below 50 degrees, space the plants 6 inches apart each way. When 8 inches high remove the top third of the 
plant to increase and lengthen the side branches and so produce more flowers. Yields a high percentage of doubles. 
Large-Flowering Dwarf 10 Weeks. Each, pkt. 15c; Moz. 40c; Yoz. 65c; oz. $2; Ib. $6; Ib. $18 
While not as nice for cutting, these 12-inch plants of dwarf, compact, pyramidal growth, are excellent 
for pot-culture and bedding. If started indoors in March and set out when safe, they provide many 
double flowers in Jess than 10 weeks from seeding. Blood-Red and Mixed. 
Fine Mixed for Open Ground. Pkt. 10c; 140z. 45c; oz. $1.35; Mlb. $4 
A shorter flowered strain on 1-foot plants specially adapted for outdoor culture. Seed started in March will provide 
admirable beds with a good percentage of double flowers. 
SWEET PEAS

of the stems and tendrils, make this one of the most popular annual flowers. Height 5 to 7 feet.

Single Mixed. pos Pkt. 15; 1402. 30c; 0z. 90c

and bloom through a long season in a great variety of color.
