. Choice flower seeds. Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Seeds Catalogs. LAVATERA. The Lavateras are among the old-fashioned annuals that well deserve to be restored to more general favor. The blossoms are large and cup-shaped, measuring 154 to 2 inches across, and appear in showy clusters. The plant is somewhat straggling and the fol- iage not very ornamental, but so little care in cultivation is needed and the blossoms are so fine for bouquets and the corsage that one is well repaid for giving them room in the annual bed. When used for cutting they are improv- ed by plucking out the foliage and massing together. If picked freely, or cut back occasionally, they will bloom all summer. The flowers come in pure white, or a rich, soft pink. Mixed. Pkt., 3o.
