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

flowers are not unlike the petunia in shape, but in coloring they resemble the 
orchid. They are of velvety texture in yellow, mahogany, bright red, maroon, 
pi'rple, lavender or pink, veined with the most dehcate tracing of 
deeper shades and softly shadowed toward the center. They arc beaU' 
tiful as cut flowers, and remain fresh an unusually long time.
