 annual of the easiest culture, forming bushy plants three to four feet high, with highly ornamental

 handsome foliage and spikes about four inches long, of beautiful pure white, small pea-shaped flowers.

 flowers, measuring from 3 to 4 inches across, which are borne in uninterrupted succession until frost on 

 strong stems and well displayed above the foliage The color of the flower is a velvety brown maroon, 

 edged with yellow. The luxurious growth and the free flowering habit, as well as the large bright 

 flowers of this novelty, make it particularly valuable for large groups, but it will also be found very 

 effective when planted singly or in borders. Per packet, 25c.
