Stock, B reek's Apricot Beauty 
Aster, Crego, Blue Flame 
Blue, true blue, is the rarest color in flowers. Purple, 
violet, lavender, and lilac shades abound in Asters, but 
the clear unsullied hue of Blue Flame is bright, clear, 
navy blue—unique and lovely. The huge, circular 
flowers with long, quilled rays conform to the Giant 
Crego or Comet type, but in spite of their size preserve 
a lacy delicacy of aspect and a lightsome poise. Com¬ 
bined with these attributes is practical immunity to 
the dread Aster wilt which has made it impossible to 
grow ordinary Asters in so many gardens. A 100 per 
cent stand of perfect plants and abundance of flowers 
for display or cutting is almost assured by its resistance 
to that pest. Pkt. 35c. 
Zinnia, Breck’s Midget 
It is said that “everybody loves a baby,” and if this 
is only partially true, our stock of seed of this “too- 
adorable-for-words” little Zinnia will be exhausted 
long before the end of the planting season. These 
Midget Zinnias embrace a surprising color-range, in¬ 
cluding red, orange, yellow, pink, rose, and other pastel 
shades. They are very dwarf and very delightful. Use¬ 
ful as pot-plants, for edgings or for the rock-garden. 
They also provide ideal cut material for small vase ar¬ 
rangements, and for boutonnieres they are unbeatable. 
Offered in mixture only. See page 34. Pkt. 25c. 
Stock, Breck’s Apricot Beauty 
Ever since we first introduced it this splendid free- 
branching Stock has been in our Specialty List, and 
by the way people rave about it we shall certainly 
retain it indefinitely as a specialty of the rarest merit. 
It makes sturdy 2-foot plants that continuously bear 
upright spikes of double, deliciously scented, apricot- 
tinted flowers flushed with luminous translucent pink. 
Growers of Stocks will do well to incorporate lime with 
the soil in a liberal manner. Success is often measured 
by this precaution. Don’t fail to try this specialty. 
By a noted judge of flowers it has been classed as “the 
finest Stock ever introduced to American gardens.”

Petunia, B reek’s Velvety Violet 
No Petunia grown today can compare with this out¬ 
standing Breck specialty, which year after year adds 
thousands of new names to its long list of admirers. 
We have always considered this our most outstanding 
and valuable introduction. The plants are of spreading 
habit, free branching and free blooming. Its color is 
an intense, deep violet-blue, with a decided velvety 
sheen. We, and we alone, are able to supply the true 
stock. Comes absolutely without variation from seed.

Petunia, Breck’s Velvety Wine 
Except in its color this variety is identical with the 
above. Deep wine-red is the nearest color identification 
that can be given. If grown out of the strongest sun¬ 
light, its gorgeous wine-red coloring is enhanced. 
Probably its greatest charm is seen when a few un¬ 
blemished blooms are artistically arranged in pewter 
or crystal containers under artificial light. Pkt. 50c.
