ADD COLOR GLOW AND A SPARKLE OF 
BEAUTY TO YOUR HOME: 
You have possibly noted during the past few years the increased planting of flowers. There was a tendency on the part of home owners 
through the war years to depend entirely on shrubs for beauty, background, etc. But, flowers from seeds are returning to popularity for 
added color. There is no other way you can add so much color for so little expense. You will note “a Sparkle of Beauty” and “'Color Glow”’ 
where flowers are planted in front of or intermingled with shrubs, Plant more flowers for added beauty. PLANT NICHOLSON’S FLOWER

long and becutifully twisted, while the inner 
petals are short and fantastically interlaced, 
piling up on top of each other so as to form a 
heavy crest which surrounds a large, attractive 
mahogany brown center. The flowers grow up 
to four inches across and are fully open at all 
times, while other Calendula close in the late 
afternoons and evenings. Plants grow 15 inches 
tall, are very bushy and symmetrical. Winner

Cynoglossum 
1779 — CYNOGLOSSOM, Dwarf Firmament.

very dwarf in comparison to the old type,

beauty when covered with the small, deliqht- 
fully blue blooms. This is the only Forget-Me- 
Not that is adapted to growing in the South and 
will bloom throughout the summer. Pkt., 15c;

than five months after seed is sown. The flow- 
ers are semi-double, crinkly edged, in shades
