GAILLARDIA

1190 Mixed Colors. Although smaller than the peren- 
nial species, the annual form always gives a good ac- 
count of itself and is very easy to grow. The flowers 
are double; the petals are loosely arranged and grace- 
fully fringed. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked.

GODETIA 
(Satinflower) 
1205 Mixed Colors. Always attractive in the garden 
and becoming more popular. The flowers have a 
satiny texture and a deeper color is found near the 
center of the flower, as if painted upon the petals. 
Godetias cannot tolerate a very strong summer sun, 
therefore, plant in partial or semi-shade. Does best 
in soil that is not rich. May be sown in September 
for early bloom if given winter protection. Sow in 
the spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Thin

GOURDS 
1210 Small-Fruited Mixed Varieties. Gourds are 
grown by many gardeners because they can be used 
effectively in fall and winter arrangements for the 
house when properly dried. Our mixture is made 
up of the most desirable and colorful small-fruited 
kinds. Vigorous vines are produced, therefore, 
plant where there is room to spread or support to 
climb on. Sow 6 inches apart after danger of frost.

LARKSPUR 
One of the best known hardy annuals and one that 
has undergone marked improvement in color and full- 
ness of spikes. Larkspurs are cool weather plants and 
for best results seed should be sown in September in 
the Northern States. A light mulch covering should 
be applied for winter protection. Seed may also be 
sown in the spring as soon as the soil can be worked.

GIANT IMPERIAL STRAIN. Tall, upright, com-
