Dahlia 
DELPHINIUM 
(H# 3 to 4 ft.) 
There are few perennials that | 
furnish so delicate and beautiful | 
flowers as this. It is perfectly 
hardy and once established will 
last and grow better for years. 
The blossom spikes begin to ap- 
pear in the early summer and 
continue to put out until cold 
weather. It makes one of the 
best of cutflowers or a good gar- 
den decoration.

DIGITALIS (H# 3 to 4 fr.) 
1121—The Shirley Mixed.—This is the favorite old Foxglove 
that was so popular in our grandmother’s garden. It is per- 
fectly hardy and easy to grow but will not bloom the first year 
from seed unless started very early. The best plan is to sow 
seed one spring and transplant in the early fall for next spring 
flowers. Flowers of great substances are borne on tall spikes.

DIANTHUS (HO 15 in.) 
We all know and love these old 
fashioned pinks. They are among the 
most useful and desirable of the an- 
nuals and so very easy to grow. Sow 
the seed outdoors early in the spring 
in a good rich soil and you will have 
a wonderful show of bright colored 

flowers. It makes one of the best cut- 
flowers for basket and table decora- 
tion.

FOUR O'CLOCK (HO 24 in.)

against the foundations of a house 
or to make a bed, it is hard to find 
anything so inexpensive and easy to

foliage and literally covered with 
brilliant flowers of many colors may 
be obtained on almost any soil by 
sowing the seed after frost is over.

GAILLARDIA (HO 18 in.) 
1133—The Dazzler.—No garden is 
complete without its Gaillardias. They 
are hardy, easy to grow and generally 
come back year after year. The blos- 
soms are large and come in brilliant 
colors of red and yellow. The Dazzler 
is one of the largest and is a vivid 
red with golden center. They are as 
easy to grow as Zinnias and have a 
long blooming period. Prepare a seed 
bed in almost any kind of soil and 
sow the seed after danger of frost 
is past. Cover lightly with fine soil. | 

Gaillardias will stand full sunlight 
and thrive in even poor soil but cul- 
fertilization will pay 

tivation and 
well.

forms succeed almost anywhere and will more than repay the 
effort required. Sow in the open ground after frost is over.
