 suggesting those of Scabiosa, are of a bright golden yellow, bordered with rich maroon 

 red. The plants being about 12 inches high and of very bushy habit Pkt. 25c

 3396 A new strain of Phlox Drummondi with flowers 

 an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half 

 in diameter. In addition to its enormous flow- 

 ers (which in itself would be enough to justify 

 it as a novelty), it has a most wonderful range 

 of color in soft art shades. The colors range as 

 follows, Salmon with white eye, soft rose with 

 white eye, light blue with white eye, light 

 mauve with cream eye, etc. (See illustration)

VENIDIUM FASTUOSUM HYBRIDS 



(Annual) 



4483 A The plants are free flowering, two to three feet 

 tall, and bloom over a long period. The color 

 range is varied and very interesting — apricot 

 shades, pure white, canary yellow, golden 

 yellow and the well known orange. We find 

 that the hybrids stand up much better in ex- 

 treme heat than the original orange. (See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 25c
