1EDAL NOVELTIES 



trials of all the novelties to be offered the following year 

 We are very pleased to be able to offer two of these Gold 

 iem a trial. 



Petunia Nana Compacta Pink Gem 



2078. A superb novelty. The first of a charming 

 new race of miniature Petunias. Compact 

 plants 6 to 8 inches high, literally smothered 

 with bright pink blooms. Individual plants 

 will have as many as 25 blooms open at a 

 time. Beautiful effects may be had by cora- 

 ■ bining with blue .Lobelia or Ageratum. (See 

 colored illustration on the front cover of this 

 catalog). Pkt., 25c; 3 pkts., 65c. 



r - Scabiosa, Tom Thumb 



j 2715 MIXED. The individual flowers 

 nave all the grace and charm of the 

 taller growing variety, but are borne 

 on short, stocky plants that do not 

 require staking. Stems are long 

 enough for cutting and flowers 

 are of good size. Useful for 

 rock gardens and low beds 



and borders. Pkt., 



;oc. 



Tom Thumb Scabiosa. 



Venidium Fastuosum 



3075. The largest of native African Daisies. Plants grow 2 to 

 3 feet high, are bushy and bear their flowers on long stems 

 suitable for cutting. Flowers are daisy-like with two rows of 

 ■ orange petals, center mahogany brown. Flowers are large, 4 to 

 L 5 inches across and last a long time as cut flowers. Pkt.. 50c. 



Passiflora Caerulea 



2435. (Passion flower). An old favorite but much neglected 

 recently. Half hardy, climbing vines, blooming freely the first 

 year from seed sown indoors in March. Flowers are a beautiful 

 shade of light blue with a peculiar formation of anthers at the 

 center. Flowers are followed by bright orange, egg shaped, fra- 

 grant fruits. Pkt., 25c. 



asturtium 

 Golden Gleam 



2322. Too exquisite ever 

 to be old. Our seed comes direct from the 

 originator, is remarkably true to type and 

 not to be confused with cheaper grades. 

 Pkt., 25c; oz., 50c. 



Zinnia 

 Dwarf Double Lilliput 



No garden is complete without some Zin- 

 nias and this year we wish to particularly 

 call your attention to this charming dwarf, 

 almost button strain of this ever popular 

 flower. Plants are dwarf, compact and al- 

 most smothered with small, perfect, double 

 flowers. 



3180 Mixed. Pkt, 15c; 2 for 25c.
