MAMMOTH FLOWERING— CHOICEST MIXED COLORS 



These are of the perennial class, blooming the second year fz-om seed, 

 although if started early indoors and transplanted out, it is possible to bring 

 them into flower the first season. Do not confuse them with the small 

 annual varieties. This mixture produces the mammoth flowers as grown by 

 florists and displayed at Horticultural exhibitions. The seed we offer is an 

 improved strain, producing mammoth double, perfect flowers ijf the most 

 striking colors. For amateur cultiva- 

 tion the plants should be pinched back 

 to form a number of branches not allow- 

 ing more than 10 or 15 flowers to a 

 plant. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 pkts. 50 cts.

 bloomer it is invaluable and as a border or bedding plant it 

 cannot be excelled, growing only six inches high. Pkt. 5
