 1000 for massing, ours is the place to get them. 



They are Easy to Grow and Sure to Bloom.— Plant (after danger of freezing is past) in 

 ordinary soil, 3 inches deep and 6 or 8 inches apart, and they will soon throw up tall spikes of beautiful 

 flowers of the most brilliant and gorgeous colors, crimson, scarlet, purple, orange, white, etc., with all im- 

 aginable shades and markings. They are superbly beautiful, and attract more attention than any other flower 

 of their season. By planting at two or three different times you can have a constant succession of bloom.
