RED RIDING- HOOD 
Of Special Interest to tJjc CbiWrcij 
Through its wide introduction last season, RED RIDING-HOOD has become well and favorably 
known. Its unique form and pleasing color attract universal attention. Its name has been pro- 
nounced most appropriate, and, like the 
child's story to which applied, thi.s striking 
flower,too,has become the children's favorite ; 
in fact, so much so, that it might well be 
called "The Children's Sweet Pea." 
To give all our young friends an opportu- 
nity to become acquainted with this iioral 
pet, we offer a FREE TRIAL PACKET to each child who will send us a list of ten names of earden 
owners who sow seeds. The full names and 
Your Red Riding-hood is a REMARKABLE 
new departure, entirely distinct.

RED RIDING-HOOD.— This variety grows upon one. Like 
some other good things, one must acquire a taste for it. It has 
been universally aamired in my garden this year, and is an 
exponent of the highest type of the art of selection. It is a matter 
of patience in many cases to select a color or shade, but to select 
up a freak of nature is GENIUS, PURE AND SIMPLE. It is 
extremely fragrant, and has the typical stem—long and slender, 
but strong. The wings are the deepest rose, while the abortive 
standard is a transparent cream, fused like rose. It should have 
a place in every collection.— The. Florists' Exchange. 
is almost completely envel- 
oped, is nearly pure white. 
The standard is so formed 
that it resembles a quaint 
little red hood, inclosing the 
more delicately tinted wings, 
which peep out like a dimin- 
utive face from under its red 
hood. Its fragrance is un- 
usually sweet. It is a very 
robust grower, and therefore 
easy to take care of. In
