Giant-flowering Sweet Sultans. 
The old Sweet Sultan has long been a favorite garden annual of the easiest culture. 
These new mammoth-flowering varieties are grand improvements, producing blossoms 
from 3 to 4 inches across, of graceful, airy effect, and are most deliciously fragrant—the 
colors of the flowers are infinitely varied from glistening white through shades of red, 
from flesh-pink to crimson, and through blues from silvery lilac to royal purple, ete., and 
all flowers are deliciously fragrant; for bouquets, vases, or as corsage flowers the al: 
grace of the giant long-stemmed flowers renders them of exceptional value. If cut scarcely 
opened they will last for ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering 
freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. They are of strong, 
bushy form, 3 to 4feet high. (See cut.)

from you a packet of the 
seeds of Mammoth Zinnia.

no cultivation whatever, 
except weeding, I have one
