CHORIZAINTHE PALMERI 



(Turkish Rugging) 



A new subject for the border or rock garden. This 

 easily grown annual forms a dense mat of statice 

 like flowers of a delicate pink which blends beauti- 

 fully with the dull green foliage. In early fall the 

 plant changes to a charming shade of autumn brown, 

 which makes a bold showing at a time when Mother 

 Nature is taking her last bow. It grows about 8 inches 

 and has a spread of 12 to 18 inches. Pkt., 15c. 



IPOMEA DOUBLE ROSE MARIE 



It is an early, free flowering, clear deep rose double 

 flowered Ipomea which makes a quick growth well 

 covered with flowers. As the flowers are double, they 

 give the appearance of being open even after the 

 other Ipomeas in the garden have closed for the day. 



Pkt., 10c 



RUDBECKIA KELVEDON STAR 



A perfect long stemmed flower for cutting, on 

 plants which are sturdy and free flowering. The flow- 

 ers vary in form and coloring, some semi-double, some 

 single, but all have dark brown central discs sur- 

 rounded by a deep mahogany zone on petals of deep 

 golden yellow. Pkt., 15c. 



RUDBECKIA GOLDEN SUNSET 



One of the showiest and most hardy annuals. The 

 compact plants, 18 to 24 inches in height, are cov- 

 ered with large golden yellow flowers with a mahog- 

 any zone, which are excellent for cutting. Pkt., 15c. 



ZINNIA DESERT GOLD 



As no word description can do justice to the dual 

 tone of Zinnia Desert Gold. The plants are from two 

 and a half to three feet in height, bearing a generous 

 quantity of the large well formed flowers which are 

 equally effective in daylight or under artificial lights. 

 Those who appreciate the finest in Zinnias will wel- 

 come Desert Gold. Pkt., 20c; Vs oz., 50c. 



For description of other Zinnias, see pages 40 and 41. 



Zinnia Fantasy Mixed 



New zinnias are always welcomed by home grow- 

 ers and florists alike. While the giant flowered vari- 

 eties are still popular, the trend of late years has been 

 toward the smaller flowered, more graceful strains. 

 This new Fantasy Mixture meets this demand in all 

 details: the rounded flowers are composed of a mass 

 of shaggy ray like petals which give a delicate and 

 refined appearance to the medium sized double flow- 

 ers, large enough to satisfy the desire for mass of 

 color, yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully 

 to flower arrangement. The color range includes the 

 brightest shades of reds and orange, as well as the 

 popular pastel pinks and cream. Pkt., 25c. 



ZINNIA LILLIPUT TOM THUMB 

 MIXTURE 



Tom Thumb is without exception the very dwarf- 

 est zinnia known. The plants are rounded and com- 

 pact, 4 to 6 inches high, literally covered with well 

 formed flowers of the lilliput type. The color mixture 

 includes red, orange, yellow, pink, rose and other pas- 

 tel shades. It is a fine border plant, especially for the 

 hot dry sections of the country, and is the best zinnia 

 to use in pots or window boxes. Pkt., 15c. 



Zinnia Fantasy Mixture 



SAINTPAULIA— ^/rican Violet 



lONANTHA — A splendid pot-plant of easy culture, 

 producing a great profusion of deep blue flowers set 

 against dark green, Gloxinia-like foliage. Blooms 

 continuously and resembles a giant violet in many 

 ways. Pkt., 50c.
