Petunia, Theodosia 

NEMESIA (ra) 
This plant is excellent for edging pur- 
poses. Plants send up many slender 
stalks crowned with fairy-like flowers, 
something like a Schizanthus. When the 
flowers fade they may be trimmed back 
and will bloom again. Their colors run 
from the brightest reds, yellows, oranges, 
to the brightest blues and purples.

and full rich coloring. Low growing.

The seed may be started indoors early 
in the year in seed boxes and later trans-

discard the smaller and weaker seedlings. 
From these the finest flowers are often 
obtained, the coarse growing plants fre- 
gently reverting to the common types.

FOR YOUR ROCK GARDEN 
ROCK GARDEN PERENNIALS 
Mixed 
A mixture of over 50 rare rock garden 
perennials with a maximum height of 
six inches. Some of the items will bloom 
almost as soon as the frost is out of the 
ground. Others will bloom later in the 
year, insuring the grower blooms all 
season. A planting; carefully made in a 
suitable place, should remain a beauty 
spot for a number of years without re- 
seeding if given minimum care. Pkt. 50ce. 
DIANTHUS, Perennial

dwarf perennials. When well grown, 
many plants will produce such an abun- 
dance of blooms that daily cutting of 

10 DON’T FORGET THE DAINTY, DELICATE 

POPPIES, SOW WHERE THEY ARE TO BLOOM 
flowers will not decrease the loveliness 
of the plant. With an occasional re- 
placement of a plant, a well established 
planting should last several years. 
ROCK GARDEN ANNUALS 
Mixed * 
This mixture of over 30 varieties, not 
exceeding 12 inches in height, will pro- 
vide blooms through the entire season. 
Planted as early as possible, the gar- 
dener should have blooms by the end of 
May. A succession of blooms will fol- 
low until late fall when frost will destroy 
the flowers. A second lot of blooms may 
be enjoyed on most plants if they are 
cut back to two inches of the crown and 
properly watered.
