CHEIRANTHUS. (ky-RAN-thus) Cruciferae. 
Perennials, many of which rank amongst the sowiest flowers. The Wallflower belongs 
to this genus and under the species Cheiri. There are some interesting possibilities in 
this genus as it hybridizes with Erysimum. The Siberian Wallflower comes under the 
latter genus now. They are natives from the Canary Islands to the Himalayas and in 
the far North are not hardy. 
CHEIRI: Wallflower. Sow the seed as early in the spring as is possible that a strong 
robust will be grown as the success in growing them depends much on a strong plant: 
Weakly grown plants are sure to die. They are ccol weather plants. Treat as biennjals.

Gaillardia picta 
Blanket Flower 
Annual Gaillardia 
are considered the 
very best of cutflow- 
ers. 
Sow the seed early 
in the spring and if 
he object is strictly 
efor a plentiful supply 
/of cutflowers, it is 
ust as well to plant 
them in rows in the 
If a few radish seed 
re sown at the same 
ime these will mark 
the row for early cul- 
ivation. 
Large Packet 15¢; 14 Ounce 40¢; post paid. 
GINSENG SEED 
The seed has a hard coat and should be 
sown right after being geathered, which is 
usually in August or early September. If it 
is to be planted in the spring the seed mus: 
be\stratified, that is, put in moist sand or soil 
where the seed will not dry out and in most 
cases if this is stored outdoors during the 
winter, the frost action will also benefit the 
getminating powers when spring arrives. 
For spring sowing the acid treatment is ad- 
vised and if grown in flats give bottom heat 
CUTTINGS OF ALPINE PLANTS 
In taking cuttings of such alpine plants as 
Androsace, Dianthus, Hypericum, Lewisia, 
Linum, Penstemons, Phlox Sempervivum, 
Saxifrages, Silenes, etc., the stock must be 
absolutely fresh and during the growing per- 
jiod. 
Use a soft razor blade in taking the cut- 
tings, it is more certain to produce results 
than the use of the sharpest knife. Place 
cuttings in sand and do not keep too wet.
