Henderson's Mammoth Verbenas. This distinct 

 and beautiful race originated with, and was first in- 

 troduced and named by us "Mammoth." The 

 average trusses measure 9 to 12 inches in circumfer- 

 ence, and the individual florets on properly grown plants over 1 inch across — 

 or larger than a 25c. silver piece. They bloom freely, are vigorous in growth, 

 and contain all of the beautiful new colors and shades. (See cut.) Mixed colors, 10 



ZINNIAS. 



For gorgeous summer and autumn display there is nothing that can equal in 

 effectiveness the improved dwarf, compact growing, large flowering Zinnias ; grow- 

 ing only 2 feet high and bearing flowers of immense size, perfectly double, show- 

 ing no centre, and as perfect in form as Dahlias. 



Henderson's Zebra. First named and introduced by u a. The flowers are per- 

 fect in shape, of all colors, such as orange, crimson, pink, yellow, violet, rose 

 scarlet, white, etc., three-fourths of which are striped, spotted and blotched with 

 different shades, hardly any two plants producing flowers alike. (See cut.) Mixed 

 colors Pkt. 10

 owers, measuring 5 to 6 inches across, of most intense and brilliant colors, com- 

 prising new and rich hues. (See cut.) Mixed colors 10 



Pigmy Mexican. (ZinniaHaageanapumilafl.pl.) A novelty of decided merit.

"Mosaic." Very unique — a dwarf-growing Zinnia, the foliage of 

 which is grotesquely marbled and spotted with golden yellow. To 

 bring out the characteristic variegation strongly the plants should be grown 

 in rather poor soil. The flowers are large, double and of the usual 

 variety of colors 15
