EARLY PERPETUAL-FLOWERING HYBRID. This is an 
entirely new strain of the popular Poker Plant. If seed is 
started in a warm place during February or March, the plants 
will flower freely the first year. With a mulch of leaves or rough 
litter during winter, they are perfectly hardy and begin blooming 
in May the second season, continuing to flower freely until 
frost. Two- or three-year-old plants frequently bear 18 to 25 
fully expanded spikes at one time, and if these are cut as they 
fade, new spikes will quickly take their place. Height, 3 feet. 
Pkt., 15c. 
Curled and Crested Zinnias 
Height 2 feet. A choice strain of this interesting variety. The 
petals are twisted and curled in such a manner as to give the 
appearance of a fine-petalled Cactus Dahlia. 
ALL COLORS MIXED. Pkt., 15c. 
Verbena 
Our Mammoth Fancy Strain of Verbenas is the best procurable. 
It cannot, we believe, be excelled for freedom of bloom, size or 
color. 
VERBENA HYBRIDA, MIXED. Large flower-heads. Of the 
richest colors, and also the finest varieties of the auicula-eyed 
type. Pkt., 5c. 
LEMON VERBENA. Lemon-scented (Lippa citriodora). The 
delightfully fragrant foliage makes it desirable for cutting. 
Pkt., 15c. 
Wallflower 
DOUBLE BROWN. Pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE YELLOW. Pkt., 10c. 
PARIS EXTRA-EARLY. Flowers the first season from seed.

Vinca (Madagascar Periwinkle) 
This makes a fine bedding plant and can also be grown indoors. 
18 inches high. 
MIXED. The above three varieties. Pkt., 10c. 
MASSER’S GIANT DOUBLE DAHLIA FLOWERED 
ZINNIA. The plant is striking and spectacular in appear¬ 
ance and distinctly bespeaks its vigor and sturdy growth, 
which reaches a height of from three to four feet. The 
large, magnificent blooms that greatly resemble Decorative 
Dahlia and average from four to five inches across are borne 
on strong stems, clear of foliage, which make them very 
desirable for cut flower as well as garden decoration. 
GIANT MIXED. Pkt., 15c.; K oz., 75c.; oz., $2.75. 
GOLDEN YELLOW. A lovely shade of yellow. 15c.

DWARF FIREBALL. (Zinnia pumila coccinea plena.) 
Double flowers of a fiery scarlet. Pkt., 10c. 
BURPEE’S NEW CACTUS-FLOWERED ZINNIAS. Distinct 
in form from all other Zinnias, as the petals are so quilled that 
they become almost tubular. They are straight, radiating from 
the center of the flowers, which thus greatly resemble a fine- 
petaled cactus dahlia. Pkt., 15c.
