LARKSPUR 
Illustrated in color on page 43. 
There is, perhaps, no annual in which there has 
been such marked improvement in-recent years 
as in annual larkspur. The Regals produce vig- 
orous base branching plants with unusually 
long stems and large double florets placed close 
together. The plants produce bloom through- 
out most of the summer and the petals do not 
easily shatter as in older types. Colors are es- 
pecially clear and bright. 3 ft. 
Since the seed requires cool conditions for 
germination, sow it just as early as possible. 
For early June bloom seed may be sown in 
September of the previous year. 
We have chosen the six varieties below be- 
cause they have been the most outstanding in 
our Test Gardens. 
3261—Regal White. Very large, double, pure 
white. 
3262—Regal Rose. Bright clear rose. 
3265—Regal Dark Blue. Rich deep purple.

pink.

HONESTY (Silver Dollars) 
3178—Lunaria biennis. Biennial. Also called 
“Money”? and ‘Silver Dollars’? because the 
seed pods are round, flat and silvery. Used 
largely for winter bouquets but the showy pur- 
ple flowers are equally attractive in June. A 
July sowing produces flowers and seed pods the 
following year. 2 ft. Pkt. 10c; 44 Oz. 50c. 
HELICHRYSUM (Strawflowers) 
3070—Mixed Colors. An old fashioned flower 
that is becoming popular for arrangements of 
dried material since it is one of the most at- 
tractive of the Everlastings. Our mixture con- 
tains shades of pink, yellows and bronze, reds 
and white. 
Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 75c. 
HELIOTROPE 
3132—Dwarf Regale Mixed. Heliotrope should 
be found in every complete garden and this new 
variety is by far the best one to grow from seed. 
The plants are neat and compact with very 
large, clear colored flower heads in rich shades 
of heliotrope, lavender and purple. Delightfully 
fragrant. A bed of heliotrope edged with dwarf 
snapdragons is most attractive. For early bloom 
start the seed indoors. 2 ft.

KOCHIA (Burning Bush) 
3190—Summer Cypress. This is a new strain 
of the old “Burning Bush’ which gives the 
effect of a fine. bright green two foot evergreen 
hedge until heayy frost. This one does not turn 
red with the first light frost. Useful as a tempo- 
rary foundation planting around a new home 
until a permanent planting of shrubs and ever- 
greens can be made. 3 ft. : 
Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 25c; Oz. 60c.

Our strain of double hollyhocks is the finest 
available. 
HOLLYHOCKS 
3100—Double, Mixed Colors. Semi-perennial. 
Although they are at their best in rich well 
drained soil, they seem also to thrive in hot dry 
spots. Since young plants are more vigorous, 
seed of the semi-perennial types should be sown 
each summer. ‘

and white large flowering and very double. 6 ft. 
Pkt. 20c; Lg. Pkt. 40c; 14 Oz. $1.00.
