ScaBlosA AZURE Fairy 
New Mammoth Verbena ‘‘Lucifer’’ 
4357 A most valuable addition to the range of colors in this im- 
portant bedding plant, being an even, intense,deep cardinal- 
scarlet throughout; it is identical to our other Mammoth 
Verbenas in size of bloom, floriferousness and other good 
qualities. As a brilliant bed or border we feel sure this will 
be most satisfactory. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 
DouBLE ZINNIA, VICTORY 
carlet Sage ‘‘America’’ 
3936 In this variety, which was grown at our own Nursery, and which was easily the most brilliant 
bit of color among the acres of flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly 
the earliest, freest and most continuous bloomer of all, and, what is still more im- 
portant, the most uniform in habit of growth; the bushy plants do not grow over 
1 with the spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the 
a total height of about 2 feet, and in the lines, several hundred feet in 
length, there was not a variation of an inch in the height of any plant; 
the importance of this uniformity will be appreciated by those who 
use Scarlet Sage for beds or borders. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 
Large Flowering Annual Scabiosa 
*‘Azure Fairy’’ 
3943 While all of the colors of Scabiosas offered on page 110 are de- 
sirable we consider Azure Fairy the most beautiful of all. The 
large flowers of lovely lavender blue, borne on long, strong stems 
make them an ideal cut flower, and their ease of culture and long 
flowering season warrants their extensive use in every garden. 
10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per } oz. 
Two Brilliant Sweet Williams 
4282 Newport Pink. A distinct color in this favorite hardy plant 
which originated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, 
R.1I. In color itis what florists call watermelon-pink or salmony- 
rose. For midseason mass bedding it has no equal. Perfectly 
hardy. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 
4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the above. The 
color is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant 
for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very 
uncommon. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 
Two Unusual Zinnias 
In addition to the splendid Zinnias offered on page 62, we direct 
the attention of our customers to the two sorts offered below as being 
distinct and unusual and well worth growing. 
4484 Picotee. A very pretty mixture, producing large double 
fringed flowers in a good range of desirable colors, in the 
lighter shades each petal is distinctly tipped with maroon 
while the dark colored flowers are tipped with a light con- 
trasting color, of special value for cutting when the unusual 
color arrangement can be seen to best advantage. 15 cts. 
per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
4505 Victory. A very distinct variety with large densely double 
quilled flowers, which are well shown in the illustration, 
the colors are mostly in russet, orange, old rose and other 
autumn tints. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
