Scarlet Sage '* America" 



3936 In this variety, which was grown at our own Nursery, and which was easily the most brilliant 

 bit of color among the acres of flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly 

 the earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer of all, and, what is still more im- 

 portant, 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 importance of this uniformity will be appreciated by those who 

 use Scarlet Sage for beds or borders. 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 j 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. 



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 well 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 illustration, 

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

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



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 brilliant bed or border we feel sure this will 

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