RARE NEW FLOWERS FOR 1926 



Verbena hybrida grandiflora 



Giant Mammoth Zinnia 



NEW GIANT MAMMOTH TYPE ZINNIAS 



In presenting the below type, we offer a rare collection of striking and 

 desirable colors. We have overcome the objectionable feature of the old 

 giant type — the conical shape — our new Giants having smaller centers 

 and more loosely placed petals, while the size of the flower has been 

 notably increased over the Giant Plenissima. 



Orange King. A striking shade and can be compared favorably with the 



color of the calendula from which it takes its name. 

 Lemon Queen. Immense size. Petals light canary on the upper and 



cerise on the lower side, the two shades blending as the flower develops, 



making a variety of lemon tints. It is also unique inasmuch as it carries 



a pleasant odor. 



Purity. Like the Polar Bear, Dahlia-flowered type, it is a clean white. 

 Rose Queen. Opens first as bright rose with a deep rose-red center and 

 gradually develops into a warm deep rose when in full bloom. 

 Any of the above, pkt. 35 cts., 4 pkts. $1.00

A magnificent new strain of Verbenas of robust compact habit and

MARY PICKFORD SWEET PEA 



This new Sweet Pta is a sturdy grower, producing an abundance of 

 four-flowered sprays on long, stout stems. Is a beautiful light and dainty 

 cream-pink, with just the f.untcst suffusion of salmon, making the color 

 combination diflicult to equal and most hard to surpass. The flowers arc 

 [jcrrecliv I'urnicti, with both standards and wings decidedly waved, and 

 tile keel blends nicely with the coloring of the entire flower. The incli- 

 \ idual flowers are most gracefully placed. Sold in packets only. Pkt.
