BOLGIANO'S CALIFORNIA GROWN ZINNIAS 



Few flowers grown from seed give the general satisfaction that Zinnias give. For brilliancy and variety of colors, there is nothing that sur- 

 passes our strain. The popularity of this flower is constantly increasing. It is frequently called "Youth and Old Age," because of its constant 

 blooming. 



DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIAS 



The newest and most attractive member of the Zinnia family. Im- 

 mense dahlia-like flowers often measuring; 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 

 The sturdy plants produce an abundance of blooms all summer. 



939. EXQUISITE. By far the most pleasing of our collection. Truly 

 dahlia-like in both form and size. Color light rose with center a deep 

 rose. (Tyrian Rose.) 



940. GOLDEN STATE. A very rich orange yellow (Cadmium). Yel- 

 low in the bud, turning to an attractive orange when in full bloom. 



941. ORIOLE.. We consider this the most beautiful of its class. It 

 is an immense orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly as it ages, 

 but at all times worthy of the beautiful bird for which it is named. 



942. PURPLE PRINCE. A fine, deep purple (Rhodanthe Purple), 

 large and well-formed. (New.) 



943. POLAR BEAR. A very large pure white, the best white yet 

 seen in Zinnias. True Dahlia form. 



944. SCARLET FLAME. A large, beautiful, bright scarlet, with a 

 delightful blending of orange throughout the petal. This is not a bicolor. 



The above 5 varieties, 15 cts. per pkt. ; % oz. 60 cts. ; % oz. $1.00; 1 

 pkt. of each for 50 cts.

 two feet high, bearing large double flowers of distinct colors. Pkt. 10 

 cts.; ^ oz. 35 cts.; oz. $1.00; V4, lb. $2.50.

 this Zinnia its well-deserved ijopularity. Its petals are quilled and give 

 the flower the appearance of a Cactus Dahlia. Pkt. 10 cts. ; % oz. 45 

 cts.; oz. $1.50.

SWEET PEAS 



Sweet Peas have been frequently referred to as the poor 

 man's Orchid solely because of the abundance of blooms, the 

 colors which may be likened to those found in the rarest 

 Orchids. 



CULTURE. Sweet Peas should be sown in drills as early 

 as possible in spring in rich, friable soil. Prepare the bed 

 thoroughly, digging in a quantity of well-rotted manure, if it 

 can be done, making a furrow 1 to 6 inches deep. In this 

 sow the seed and cover 2 inches deep. As soon as the plants 

 begin to show through fill in the furrow. This will secure a 

 deep planting without the bad effects of deep covering of the 

 seed at first, and so enable the plant to bloom continuously 

 through the heat of summer. As fast as the flowers come 

 into full bloom they should be cut off, for if the pods are 

 allowed to form the plants will stop blooming. 



Early Flowering Spencer Sweet Peas 



These varieties are a welcome addition to our lists, for 

 they flower several weeks earlier than the regular Spencers, 

 and if planted with them you will have a much longer sea- 

 son of bloom.
