MEXICAN Hysrio ZINNIAS. 
7 MEXICAN HYBRID ZINNIAS. 
A Group of Little Beauties. 
These dwarf zinnias are dazzling in their beauty and charming in) 
their variety. 
are large and showy. 
They grow only about 12 inches bigh, yet their flowers 
The range of color is almost without limit, and 
the flowers show wide variation, sometimes even on the same plant. 
The flowering habit is remarkably profuse, and they are especially 
suited to edges and borders. They have been much admired at Panmure, 
Single Mixed. 
Packet, 10 cents. Double Mixed. Packet, 10 cents. 
DIANTHUS, 
ROYAL PINKS. 
A New and Improved Single Dianthus. 
This magnificent improvement 
on Dianthus Heddewigii has been 
given the name of 
Nobilis—the noble or royal Hedde- 
wigii, and the group well deserves 
the name of Royal Pinks. It is 
derived from selected forms of the 
popular single-flowering Japan 
pinks, producing blossoms of a 
new shape, the petals being curled, 
waved and twisted, each covering 
half of another, and all beauti- 
fully fringed. The colors vary from 
white to intense red. The flowers 
are from two to four inches across, 
with large eyes, and are exceedingly 
showy and Satisfactory. The plants 
are a foot or more in height and are 
unsurpassed for bedding purposes. 
Nothing among the annual, sin- 
gle-flowered pinks can excel this 
new and lovely strain. Packet, 
10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Kochia Scoparia, or Summer Cypress. 
This beautiful annual bush is rapidly coming into prominence. 1 
have long listed it among my annual flower seeds, but feel that it now 
deserves more attention. It grows 2 to Tamia 
244 feet high and resembles a closely 
clipped ornamental evergreen. The 
globe shaped or pyramidal bushes are 
close and compact, and of a pleasing 
light green color. The plant may be 
grown singly or in the form of a hedge 
or background. In early autumn the 
whole bush becomes carmine or blood 
red, hence the name of Mexican Fire 
Plant, Burning Bush, ete. It is also 
ealled Belvidere, Standing or Mock 
Cypress. Flowers small and numerous 
but not conspicuous. The beauty of 
the plant ,is in its shape and colors. 
Worthy of high recommendation. 
Packet, 10 cenis; 3 packets, 25 cents.
