THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



Portulaca. 



The plants grow about a foot high, are of a trailing or 

 spreading habit, and are covered all season with a profusion 

 of beautiful flowers of every color one could desire. The 

 seed can be sown early in open ground, and plants trans- 

 planted even if they have commenced to bloom. The 

 Portulacas of to-day are a great improvement on the old 

 kinds, and we consider our stock the very best. We 

 strongly recommend our Double Rose Flowered farahead 

 of any Portulacas ever offered.

A PLANT OF THE NEW GIANT ZINNIA.

 nized as the Zinnia of ten years ago. The flowers are large, finely

 attractive. We offer the best selected home-grown American seed, 

 which is far superior to the imported seed usually sold. p dr pfo t

 cultivation, making well-balanced bushes, with luxuriant foliage 

 3 to 4 feet in height, 2 to 3 feet in diameter; the flowers are 

 borne in great profusion and are of immense size, frequently 5 

 to 7 inches across, and perfectly double ; the petals being of 

 great consistency, they are not affected by heat, remaining in 

 good condition for weeks; the colors are clear and vivid and 



of many striking shades $0 10
