Verbena, Sea Foam (Candidissima). All that need be said of this fine Verbena 
is that the flowers are sweet scented ; trusses large and beautiful, and borne freely at 
all times, and snow white, always coming true from seed. Very fine for solid bed on 
lawn ; also, one of the nicest of cut flowers for summer bouquets. Price to 6ts. 
Verbena, Neiv Mammoth. The characteristics of this new strain of Verbenas are 
that when well grown, flower trusses are over nine inches in circumference, while 
many of the single florets are as large as a twenty-five-cent piece; the plant also has 
the peculiarity of being more vigorous in growth than the ordinary Verbenas. The 
colors present the same range as the ordinary type. Price to <fts.

brilliant in the extreme. Price s as. 
Zinnia, I^arge Flowering Dwarf. A new dwarf section, quite distinct. The 
flowers are as large or larger than the old class, and of much better shape, resembling 
Dahlias in form, and the habit of growth is compact and dwarf, rarely growing over 
two feet high ; mixed. Price 5 as. 
Zinnia, Giant Mammoth (mixed). A new class of Zinnias, differing from the 
older ones in its robust habit of growth, and the immense size (five or six inches 
across) of the perfectly formed, very double flowers of various striking colors. The 
plants rise to a height of three feet, are clothed with luxuriant foliage, and bloom 
freely during a long period. The luxurious growth and the large bright flowers of 
this novelty make it valuable for large groups ; but it will also be found most effective 
when planted singly, or as a border plant in small gardens. Price 5 <5ls. 
Zinnia, Curled and Crested. Magnificent variety of colors. From this, by 
persevering selection and careful culture, we have a new strain of double flowering, 
curled and crested Zinnias, which eclipse in beauty, beyond all question, any other 
types of this popular garden annual in existence. The flowers are of perfect form — 
large, round, full and double, the petals being twisted, curled and crested into the 
most fantastic contortions and graceful forms, rendering them entirely free from the 
stiffness which was heretofore characteristic of the family. Price 5 <5ls.

are wanted, and in the largest variety — for a little money — this packet will surely 
suit. Price 10 (Sts.
