Didiscus Coeruleus. "Blue Lace Flower" TRACHELIUM COERULEUM An exceedingly attractive hardy biennial forming mass- es of lavender blue flowers. The umbel-shaped blossoms which are similar in appear- ance to the Blue Lace Flow- er, but larger, are borne freely on long, stiff stems and are excellent for cutting. Pkt. 25c. Use Semesan as a Spray for Certain Plant Diseases Snapdragon — "I now have my Snapdragon rust under control, also the rust on the Carnations. Seme- san seems to stop its spreading." — Jacob M. Madsew of Michigan. BLUE LACE FLOWER "DIDISCUS COERULEUS" None of the easily grown garden annuals have within re- cent years attained greater popularity than the Blue Lace Flower. The plants grow about 2 feet high, producing umbel- shaped flowers of the most beautiful clear, cerulean or heaven- ly blue. Seed sown outdoors after danger from frost will pro- duce plants which should bloom continuously from July to October. Pkt., 10c. ANTIRRHINUM TOM THUMB "DAINTY GEM" We herewith offer a color, which has hitherto been lack- ing in this section, and a plant with the real compact Tom Thumb habit. The plants stand evenly like ranks of soldiers and the strain comes true from seed, not throwing a percentage of taller plants like most other varieties of its class. The flowers are of a beautiful delicate shade of rose, closely resem- bling the favorite sort, Fascination, and nothing better can be imagined for flat dwarf bedding schemes and ribbon borders. It will also be exceptionally valuable for cultivation in window boxes, the Tom Thumb Antirrhinum being a favorite plant for this purpose and one of the most suitable. Pkt.. 25c. Antirrhinum Tom Thumb Dainty Gem." Page Lie i
