NEW VERBENA. Burbank’s Mayflower. 
Mr. Burbank has developed in his new variety a strain in which the 
flowers are of extraordinary size, and decidedly more fragrant than any 
other variety of verbena I know of. It is equally desirable for bed- 
ding purposes, while its fragrance gives additional value to the flowers 
when cut for bouquets or table decoration. Highly recommended for 
trial to all my customers. Packet, 10 cents.

New Mexican HYBRID ZINNIAS, 
MEXICAN HYBRID ZINNIA. An Absolutely New Class. 
It gives me pleasure to offer my friends something peculiarly fresh, 
novel and attractive in the way of zinnias. These new dwarfs are daz- 
zling in their beauty and charming in their variety. They grow only 
about 6 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 these new zinnias are especially 
suited to edges and borders. They have been much admired on my 
Panmure trial grounds.

Zinnia, New Fringed. 
' This noveland beautiful zinnia strain has ex- 
quisitely fringed and toothed petals, as shown 
In the illustration, entirely relieving the flower 
of its former rigidity or stiffness of aspect, and 
adding much to its grace and desirability. The 
new fringed zinnia blooms quite as freely and 
continuously as the ordinary type. The colors 
so far in the fringed class are only pink and 
white. Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents. 
New LANTANA, 
Verbena. Briar Grest Mammoth Fancy 
« The verbena must ever remain one of the most popular of American 3 | 
bedding plants, and the newer and larger types will always be in de- » 4 
mand. The improved giant flowered sorts which I send out under the © 
name of Briar Crest Mammoth Fancy are unexcelled for size, beauty 
and diversity of markings. They cannot be surpassed for richness of 
color or profusion of bloom. Iam constantly on the lookout for newer 
and better types to introduce into this grand class, but I rely for im- 
provement mainly upon careful selection of seed from year to year. 
The illustration on this page gives a partial idea of the size, shape and 
Style of these verbenas, but it does not show their rich colors. Some of 
the individual florets are nearly as large as a Silver half dollar, and all S 
are much above average Size, making effective masses of color in the 
bed. As to hue, some are self-colored or solid, some are striped and © 
some are variegated or mottled. Some have eyes and some have zones © 
or rings of contrasting shades. All are brilliant and desirable. e
