THE MOST exquisite and unique of all ihc garden annuals. This plant grows

orchid. They are of velvety texture in yellow, mahogany, bright red, maroon, 
purple, lavender or pink, veined with the most delicate tracing of the 
deeper shades and softly shadowed toward the center. They are beau- 
tiful as cut flowers, and remain fresh an unusually long time.
