NEW EARLY-FLOWERING WALLFLOWER. 
This pretty, very fragrant Wallflower blooms in summer from 
seed sown early the same season. No early summer flower is more 
popular with the people in England than the delightfully fragrant 
Wallflower. The old biennial variety is little grown here, as it is 
not hardy enough to withstand our severe winters. The Vew Early 
Wallflower, with its lovely golden-brown flowers, is as easily grown 
as any ordinary annual flower, and will without doubt become a 
popular favorite.

See pages 54 and 55 for our extensive list of new and 
old varieties. Eckford’s and other improved sorts are 
there enumerated in great variety and at very mod= 
erate prices, 
SCARLET GEM, DOUBLE ZINNIA. 
Packet, .10. No. 8367. 
No. 8367. ZINNIA, DWARF, SCARLET GEM. One of the 
most charming introductions, the plants fairly bristling with the 
showy, neat, double blooms. It is beyond question the most 
beautiful Zinnia known; of dwarf and neat habit, and bears pro- 
fusely innumerable, very double, finely imbricated flowers, of 
intense dazzling scarlet color. Asa border or bedding plant it 1s 
invaluable, and everyone who grows it will be pleased. Pkt., 
.10. 
No. 8382. ZINNIA, DWARF, GOLDEN GEM, The flowers 
are very double and of a brilliant golden-yellow color. In size 
they equal those of Zimnia Scarlet Gem ; and the plants being of 
similar habit and height to that variety, the two when planted 
together produce a rich and striking contrast. Pkt., .10.
