Mammoth Verbena. 



"Good Venture" Strain. 



This is without doubt one of the 

 most beautiful strains of mammoth 

 verbenas yet offered, with very large 

 elegant flowers fully covering a . sil- 

 ver quarter. The colors are all 

 clear and beautiful and in great va- 



rieties, with many prettily variegated 

 and daintily marked; new sorts. 20c

New Zinnias. 



"Curled and Crested." 



A trial of the new curled and 

 crested Zinnias last season proved 

 that they are all that is claimed for 

 them by the originator. The flow- 

 ers are free from the stiffness of the 

 old sorts in being beautifully curled 

 and crested, adding a softness 

 and grace to wonderfully brilliant 

 colors, which are scarlet, crimson, 

 pale yellow, orange, flesh, chamois, 

 old gold and many intermediate 

 shades. They are a very valuable 

 addition for brilliant lines of color, 

 and excellent for decoration on ac- 

 count of their showiness and the 

 length of time they keep. Choicest 

 mixed lbc per pkt. 



Ricinus Zanzibarensis. 



Entirely new and distinct variety 

 of the castor oil bean with gigantic 

 leaves, very luxuriant and tropical 

 in appearance. I offer five varieties 

 mixed. One with light green leaves 

 with whitish ribs; one coppery 

 brown leaves, changing to green with 

 red ribs and brown stems; another 

 with bronze purple leaves changing 

 to dark green with redish stems ; an- 

 other with bronze leaves, redish ribs, 

 and glaucous brown stems; and an- 

 other with very light green leaves 

 and pearly pinkish stems. The 

 seeds of this new Ricinus are double 

 the size of the old kind and are very 

 beautiful in color, with brown, gray 

 and red, and cream ground, speckled 

 with darker spots. They cannot be 

 mistaken for any other kind. Five 

 varieties mixed 20c.
