Petunias, in All the Varied Colors, Create That Desired Effect in Summer Bloom. 
PETUNIAS are very popular in Atlanta, are 
easily grown and make most beautiful flower 
beds of showy colors. They are very hardy and 
neither heat, rain nor drought affect them serious¬ 
ly. They bloom from May until late fall in var¬ 
ious solid colors and also blotched, striped and 
variegated. Plants, 5 cents each; 50 cents a dozen. 
HELIOTROPE. These plants are all large 
flowering and dark blue, light blue, white and 
rose shades. A single spray of the deliciously 
fragrant bloom will perfume a whole room. They 
are line for a porch or pot plant and do well in 
partly shaded locations. Plants, 10 cents each; 
$1.00 a dozen. 
HOLLYHOCKS. These are extra strong grow¬ 
ing plants for blooming the first year. Color¬ 
ings vary from pure white to the darkest red, 
pink, salmon, yellow and crimson. Give them 
rich soil in a moist location or where you can 
give them water, setting 1% to 2 feet apart. Once 
established they grow and bloom freely for 
years. These are tall-growing plants, from 5 to 8 
feet tall, and make a splendid background effect, 
with their tall spikes covered with large, richly 
colored flowers. Plants, 10c each; $1.00 a dozen. 
HYDRANGIAS are becoming much more popu¬ 
lar every year here in Atlanta. The great trusses 
of these flowers appear in great balls all 
over the plants and are strikingly beau¬ 
tiful. The color shades vary from light 
blue to pink and white. They are al¬ 
ways in good taste and will add materially to

“The Home Beautiful.” Strong plants in 5-inch pots, 25 cents; extra 
large plants, 50 cents each. 
ASPARAGUS FERNS. Also called Emerald Feather; a magnificent 
porch or basket plant in Atlanta and does splendidly indoors dur¬ 
ing the winter. The fronds or leaves grow 4 to 5 feet long and give 
a most pleasing hanging effect, as for hanging baskets under the 
trees or on the porch in summer. Strong, growing ferns in 4-inch 
pots, 20 cents each; larger ones, in 5-inch pots, 25 cents; in 6-inch pots, 
60 cents; in 8-inch pots, $1.00; in 10-inch pots, $1.50; in 12-inch pots, 
$ 2 . 00 . 
PANSIES. Grown from the best selected seed from the famous 
European specialists; the bloom cannot fail to please you if you are a 
lover of this flower. They make most attractive beds, borders and 
edging, and for porch and window boxes they are admirably adapted. 
Beautiful flowering plants, 50 cents a dozen. 
SALVIA (SCARLET SAGE). No plant is more popular in the 
South for bedding and borders. In late summer and fall up until 
heavy frost it is a mass of fiery red blooms. A dense hedge, about 3 
feet high, of Salvia in Decatur last summer and fall was the most 
striking hedge effect we have ever seen. Some of our Atlanta custom¬ 
ers buy them by the hundreds for bedding. Strong plants, 50e a dozen. 
VERBENA, These free-flowering, hardy annuals of low spreading 
growth make splendid beds and edgings. The many colors are of the 
richest shades and the large heads of large individual florets are an 
exceptional selection and improvement over the small common ver¬ 
benas generally sold. Hardy plants, 50 cents a dozen. 
VINCA. We are pushing this splendid plant this year and chiefly 
because we haven’t recognized its true value before. It makes a splen¬ 
did heavy bedding plant, and is very free-flowering. If you passed 
by the Georgia State Capitol grounds last summer you could hardly 
have failed to notice that large quarter-moon shaped bed by the 
General Gordon monument. It was the flower talk of that part of 
the city. The Vinca, with its clear, waxy flowers and dark, waxy, 
green leaves, makes the summer seem embracing with its cooling ef-
