bright yellow and the longer outside 
petals a very light yellow, the flow¬

In fact all the seeds I bought from 
you were more than sa tisfactory.

New Zinnia, 
Scabiosa-Flowered 
This is a novelty and different from all 
other Zinnias. Plants are very vigorous 
in growth and bloom profusely until 
frost; easy to grow from seed, and at¬ 
tracts attention everywhere. As you 
will notice in illustration the flower 
consists of an outer ring of petals 
around a crested center. Above flowers 
were painted by our artist from bloom 
taken from our Experimental Gardens 
in August. It should be in every flow¬ 
er garden.

New Giant Verbena 
Beauty of Oxford Hybrids 
A most beautiful Giant Verbena, a 
cross between Luminosa and Beauty 
of Oxford. It inherits the beautiful 
salmon-pink of the Luminosa which 
gives a lovely softening effect not 
found in any other Verbena grown 
from seed, and previously obtained 
only from cuttings of Beauty of Ox¬ 
ford. The individual florets measure 
over 1 inch in diameter and the foli¬ 
age is an attractive Cress-green. This 
Giant Verbena, distinct and beauti¬ 
ful, is as easily grown from seed as 
other varieties and is surely a most 
welcome novelty.
