"Eastern Queen." Beautifully marbled; the broad bands of rich mauve upon the paler 



surface of the petals are very striking and pretty. (See cut ) 5 



" Crimson Belle," as its name implies, is a rich crimson color, flowers of a very large size 



and substance, evenly and finely fringed. ( See cut. ) 5

flowers are of a distinct and perfectly new tint in this class ; being of the most brilliant salmon 



color imaginable, changing into a salmon rose when fading. That this variety is distinct from all 



others is easily proved by the seeds which are white or yellowish white, while those of all other 



annual Pinks are dark-brown or black. The flowers are well formed and nicely fringed ; the 



plants attain a height of 10 to 12 inches U/
