PETUNIA, LACE VEIL 
FOUR WORTHWHILE PETUNIAS 
Den’s Blue Redder. A very free flowering single 
petunia of an unusually rich, dark blue shade, 
growing about one foot high. This variety comes 
almost 100 per cent true to color. It withstands 
bad weather admirably and is therefore exception¬ 
ally valuable for bedding. Pkt. $1.00 
Giant Double Fringed Heliotrope (new). Blooms 
range from four and a half to six inches in dia¬ 
meter, the color tone of this Petunia being a beau¬ 
tiful heliotrope. More than half of the blooms 
may be expected to be of the true Giant Fringed 
Dougle type, with the remainder consisting of 
smaller doubles and about five per cent of singles. 
Petals distinctly veined and shade from light 
lobelia violet to deep lavender. Pkt. $1.00 
Fimbriata Nana, Lace Veil. A new pure white 
fringed variety. The bushy plants, about one foot 
high, are thickly covered with white flowers 
measuring about 2Vz inches across. The finely 
fringed and sometimes waved edges of these 
flowers give the impression of a dainty lace gown. 
Pkt. $1.00 3 Pkts. for $2.75 
Gottfried Michaelis. _ The compact bushes, 12 inches 
high, are covered with daintily fringed bright am¬ 
aranth red flowers with dark throat, measuring 
about three inches in diameter. Excellently suit¬ 
ed for borders as well as for pots and window 
boxes. Pkt. $1.00 3 Pkts. for $2.75 
PANSY 
Den’s Giant Winter Flowering. This is a greenhouse 
winter flowering variety, growing three to four 
feet in height, and requires supports as for carna¬ 
tions. Larger flowers and longer stems than 
found in any other pansy yet introduced. It in¬ 
cludes a wide range of colors and markings, and 
is a most valuable addition to the winter flower¬ 
ing types. Pkt. $2.00 3 Pkts. for $5.00 
TITHONIA 
Speciosa. An annual of rapid growth and easy cul¬ 
ture. The plants, when fully developed, reach a 
height of 10 feet by 3 to 4 feet in diameter and 
are richly covered with large, da ’k green, deeply 
cut leaves, much like those of the fig tree. In 
late summer and autumn the whole plant is liter¬ 
ally covered with brilliant orange-scarlet flowers. 
The flowers are 3 to 4 inches across and can be 
cut with 2 to 3-foot stems; they last a long time 
in water. 
From seeds sown in the frame in March, plants 
begin to bloom in August; sown outdoors in May, 
plants bloom in September and continue in either 
case until frost. Pkt. 25c; V\ oz. 75c 
TRACHELIUM CAERULEUM 
An excellent pot plant for the greenhouse. The 
large showy flowers form enormous heads similar 
in form to Eupatorium, and of an exquisite blue 
shade. A fine subject for exhibition purposes or for 
cutting for indoor decoration. Pkt. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00 
URSINIA 
“Aurora”. Emerging from their South African 
solitudes, the Ursinias have been rapidly making 
for themselves a place in horticulture. The pret¬ 
ty new form we now offer may be said to occupy 
an intermediate place between U. anethoides and 
U. pulchra, with flowers not unlike those of ane¬ 
thoides. The distinctive charm lies in the broad 
zone of deep crimson red which adorns the cen¬ 
ter of the bright orange corolla, and renders this 
novelty a delightful subject for summer bedding.

VENIDIUM 
Fastuosum. This striking new species from South 
Africa is a great acquisition as a cut flower. 
The deep orange daisy-like flowers, 4-5 inches 
across, have a double row of petals, the upper 
row marked at the center with a reddish brown 
zone. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet high, and 
bloom over a long period of time.

VERBENA 
HYBRIDA GRANDIFLORA 
t 
Cerise Queen. A beautiful shade of soft Salmon 
Cerise, quite new in Verbenas, making a charm¬ 
ing addition to this group. It has immense in¬ 
dividual flowers one and one-fourth inches in dia¬ 
meter on giant trusses, with fairly long stems, 
making this Verbena suitable for cutting. It is 
recommended to all who want a lively new color 
in Verbenas. 
Pkt. 35c 3 Pkts. for $1.00 
ERECTA COMPACTA 
Carmine Ball. A beautiful Erecta Compacta Ver¬ 
bena of similar form to Fireball. It forms a per¬ 
fectly symmetrical plant about ten inches high 
and twelve inches across and is completely covered 
with bright Carmine flowers. The plants in our 
trials easily carry fifty to sixty trusses in bloopi 
on the plant at one time. It is a continuous bloom¬ 
er and will make a wonderful bedding plant, be¬ 
sides being indispensable for pots and borders. 
Pkt. 35c 3 Pkts. for $1.00 
TWO VALUABLE NEW ZINNIAS 
Fantasy, Finest Mixed. (Chrysanthemum Flowered). 
The informal shaggy appeax-ing flowers are very 
graceful and interesting, and entirely distinct from 
the more usual formal types. The flowers, com¬ 
posed of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals ai^e 
1 rge enough to satisfy the desire for a mass of 
color, yet sixxall enough to lend themselves adapt¬ 
ively to flower arrangement. The colors include 
brightest shades of reds, yellow and ox-ange, as 
well as the popular pastel pinks and cream. 
Pkt. 25c Vs oz. $1.00 
Desert Geld. The flowers comprise a mixture of the 
lighter and deeper hues of gold. The plants are 
from two and a half to three feet in height, bear¬ 
ing a profusion of large, well-formed flowers, 
which are equally effective under daylight or arti- 
ficial lights. Those who appi’eciate the finest in 
Zinnias will welcome Desert Gold.
