New Mexican Hybrid Zinnias 



MEXICAN HYBRID ZINNIAS. A New Group of Little Beauties. 



It gives me pleasure to offer my friends something peculiarly fresh, 

 novel and attractive in the way of zinnias. These new djvarfs are daz- 

 zling in their beauty and charming in their variety. They grow only 

 about 12 inches high, yet their flowers are large and showy. The range 

 of color is almost without limit, embracing shades of yellow, orange, 

 red, pink, white, brown, terra cotta, etc.; and the flowers show wide 

 variation, sometimes even on the same plant. In one case the blooms 

 are daisy-like, with flat, extended petals, tipped or ringed with a con- 

 trasting color. On another plant the blooms are perfectly double, either 

 flattened or globular in form, and of one or several colors. The flower- 

 ing 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; 8 packets, 25 cents. 



Double Mixed. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



NEW FRINGED ZINNIAS. 

 All Colors. Finest Mixed. 



This novel and beautiful strain has exquisitely fringed and 

 toothed petals, as shown in the Illustration, entirely reliev- 

 ing the liower of Its former rigidity or stiffness of aspect. The 

 new fringed zinnia blooms quite as freely and contiuuously as 

 ths ordinary type. The colors in the fringed class now embrace 

 all the usual zinnia tints. Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents. 



STOGHS. 



New Large-Flowering Globe Bouquet. 



A valuable addition to the list of stocks on account of Its habit 

 of growth. Each plant is a bouquet in Itself, being compact and 

 floriferous. Height, 1 foot. The colors embrace crimson, white, 

 rose, and many shades. Very fragrant. A large percentage of 

 the flowers are double. I am sure this new strain of stock will 



be extremely 

 satisfactory. I 

 know of nothing 

 better. Pkt., 15 

 cts; 2 pkts, 25cts. 



A Netv and Improved Single DianUins, 



This magnificent improvement 

 on Dianthus Heddewigli has been 

 given the name of Heddewigli 

 Nobllls— the noble or royal Hedde- 

 wigli, and the group well deserves 

 the name of Royal Pinks, it is 

 derived from selected forms of the 

 popular slngle-rtowering 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 2 to i inches 

 across, with large eyes, and are 

 exceedingly showy and satisfac- 

 tory. The plants are a foot or 

 more in height and are unsur- 

 passed 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.
