GOLDEN CLEOME 
(Cleome lutea) 
Golden Cleome or Yellow Spider Flower makes a 
large growing ornamental in one season growth. Though 
native to a dry region (the Southwest), this annual 
proves worthy of garden cultivation in our more humid 
climate. Given cultivation and plenty of room, it 
reaches a height of six or seven feet and blooms from 
July until frost with a constantly increasing number 
of flower clusters. A single plant with plenty of room 
may resemble a young tree with much yellow bloom all 
late summer and fall. It is ideal for background, self 
sows freely. Although this may not be true in all lo- 
calities, we find it one of the finest of honey plants, 
Our annual Golden Cleome or Yellow Spider Flower 
very attractive to bees and other insects, continuing 
well into the fall when there is not much other bee 
forage.

BORAGE 
Borage has long been famous as a bee plant and has 
been much planted in European honey plant gardens. 
It is an annual native to Europe and North Africa.

ity, the bees visit the flowers so freely that it should 
be included in every extensive collection of honey 
plants. It is a hardy plant, blooming for a long period. 
Seed, per packet, 15c, postpaid.
