same way as Petunias or Toma- 
toes. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts.,

NEW COLORS 
OF STOKESIA. 
(Cornflower Asters.) 
4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, al- 
though a native of the United 
States, was practically unknown 
as a garden plant until the year 
1908, when we illustrated it in 
colors on the cover of our Garden 
Book; and, as a result of our 
efforts, it is now one of the popu- 
lar hardy perennials. Some years 
later, a white-flowered variety was 
discovered, and now we are able 
to offer a mixture containing a 
number of rose shades, white and 
various shades of blue and purple 
as well. These should prove highly inter- 
esting, and we look forward to the time 
when this plant will be found in all gardens 
in a great variety of colors. 
15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
TWO BRILLIANT 
SWEET WILLIAMS. 
4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new 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 water- 
melon-pink or salmony-rose. For mid-season 
mass-bedding it has no equal. Perfectly hardy. 
per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the brilliant 
Grant Dousce Zinnia. (Two-thirds natural size) 
15 cts. RAINBOW CORN (Zea Japonica Variegata). 
2662 As an ornamental foliage plant this is not only highly effec- 
tive, but very interesting. It grows about five feet high, 
salmony-pink variety Newport Pink. The color is an in- 
tense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant for the 
old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very un- 
common. 18 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
A packet of each of above 25 cts. 
Dreer’s Special Strain 
quite bushy, the wonderfully variegated leaves being striped 
with bright green, silvery white, rosy-purple, and sulphur 
yellow. It makes a very pretty dividing line between the 
vegetable and flower garden, or it may be used in the mixed 
border. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 
Giant Double Zinnias 
A special strain of this grand old favorite free and continuous flowering annual, which produces flowers of colossal size, speci- 
mens measuring from 5 to 6 inches across being not unusual, Plants are of extremely robust habit, attaining a height of about 3 
feet, and should be given 18 to 24 inches between each to allow for full development; they bear freely on long, strong stems num- 
erous semi-globular, mostly very double flowers, all of the largest size, making them of great value in large beds, borders, etc.; 
grown under favorable conditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late autumn. 
We offer six of the most wanted colors, separately, as well as a splendid mixture of many colors, as under:

ZINNIA HAAGEANA “PERFECTION.” 
4481 One of the most distinct and meritorious annuals of recent introduction. The plant is of dwarf, compact growth, 9 to 10 
inches high by as much through, with fine foliage, and bears a multitude of very double flowers, about 13 inches across, in a 
most unusual range of colors, including rose-tipped canary-yellow, maroon-tipped cream-yellow and wallflower-red, velvety 
garnet, etc., and altogether makes as pretty a border as anything we know of. Like other Zinnias it will grow and flourish 
in any sunny location. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
