ScABiosA Azure Fairy 



New Mammoth Verbena "Lucifer" 



4357 A most valuable addition to the range of colors in this im- 

 portant bedding plant, being an even, intense deep cardinal- 

 scarlet throughout; it is identical to our other Mammoth 

 Verbenas in size of bloom, floriferousness and other good 

 qualities. As a brUliant bed or border we feel sure this will 

 be most satisfactory. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



Invincible Giant Polyanthus 



A magnificent strain of this perfectly hardy and easily grown spring-flowering 

 Primrose, representing the work of twenty-five years of painstaking cross-breeding 

 and selection by a Scotch specialist. Of strong, sturdy habit, and bearing immense 

 trusses of large flowers on self-supporting stems 10 to 16 inches in length. Un- 

 questionably the finest strain in cultivation, containing all colors from purest white 

 to the richest crimson. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



Large Flowering Annual Scabiosa 

 ** Azure Fairy" 



3943 While all of the colors of Scabiosas offered on page 110 are de- 

 sirable we consider Azure Fairy the most beautiful of all. 

 The large flowers of lovely lavender blue, borne on long, 

 strong stems make them an ideal cut flower, and their ease of 

 culture and long flowering season warrants their extensive 

 use in every garden. 10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per \ oz. 



Brilliant S^veet Williams 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct color in this favorite hardy plant 

 which originated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, 

 R. I. In color it is what florists call watermelon-pink or salmony- 

 rose. For midseason mass bedding it has no equal. Perfectly 

 hardy. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the above. The 

 color is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant 

 for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very 

 uncommon. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



Two Unusual Zinnias 



In addition to the splendid Zinnias offered on page 62, we direct 

 the attention of our customers to the two sorts offered below as being 

 distinct and unusual and weU worth growing. 



4484 Picotee. A very pretty mixture, ' producing large double 

 fringed flowers in a good range of desirable colors, in the 

 lighter shades each petal is distinctly tipped with maroon 

 while the dark colored flowers are tipped with a light con- 

 trasting color, of special value for cutting when the unusual 

 color arrangement can be seen to best advantage. 15 cts. 

 per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 

 4505 Victory. A very distinct variety with large densely double 

 quilled flowers, which are well shown in the iUustration, the 

 colors are mostly in russet, orange, old rose and other autumn 

 tints. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
