SCARLET SAGE "AMERICA" 



3936 In this new variety, wliich was grown at our own Nursery, and wliicli was easily tlie 

 most brilliant bit of color among the acres of flowers grown there, we have what 

 i". undoubtedly the earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer of all, and, what 

 i . still more important, the most uniform in habit of growth; the bushy plants 

 do not grow over 15 inches high with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown 

 well above the plant, making a total height of about 2 feet, and in the lines, 

 several hundred feet in length, there was not a variation of an 

 inch in the height of any plant; the irnportance of this uniformity 

 will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage for beds or 

 ■ ^ ^ borders. 25 cts. per pkt.; 75 cts. per | oz. 



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 



, C' 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. 



Two Brilliant Sweet 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. 



Tw^o Unusual Zinnias 



In addition to the splendid Zinnias off'ered 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. 



Azure F.'iiRY 



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 briUiant bed or border we feel sure this will 

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