Beauty of Oxford Hybrids 
(Hybrida grandiflora Type) 
This beautiful, giant, hardy annual is a cross between the 
salmon-flesh and coral Verbena, Luminosa, and the rose-colored 
Beauty of Oxford. While following closely the color of the latter, 
it inherits a touch of salmon-pink from its other parent, which 
gives a lovely softening effect to the somewhat harsh coloring of 
Beauty of Oxford. The color shades from clear rose-pink to rose- 
red, making this the brightest rose-colored Verbena ever pro¬ 
duced from seed. The individual flowers measure over i inch in 
diameter, and will easily cover a silver half-dollar. The foliage 
is a dark cress-green. A distinct addition to the available colors 
in the large-flowered type. One may produce from seed those color 
effects hitherto only obtained by taking cuttings of Beauty of 
Oxford. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., V&oz. 60 cts., Vi<>z. $1, oz. $3.

THREE NEW ZINNIAS 
FANTASY, MIXED. The very informal, shaggy-appearing flowers 
are graceful and interesting, quite distinct from the stiff, formal 
Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The rounded, medium-sized 
flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals which give 
a delicate and refined appearance, large enough to satisfy the desire 
for mass of color, yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully 
to flower arrangement. The color-range includes the brightest 
shades of red, yellow, and orange, as well as the popular pastel 
pinks and creams. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., y 4 oz. $1, oz. $3. 
DESERT GOLD (A Crown o’Gold Hybrid). Gardeners who 
appreciate the finest in Zinnias will welcome Desert Gold, of the 
new Crown o’Gold st rain. These are segregated colors, the light 
and deeper hues of gold, being equally striking in the garden or 
when the flowers are used for cut-bloom. Height 2 to 2 Y2 feet. 
Trade Pkt. 25 cts., Vsoz. 60 cts., l / 4 oz. $1, oz. $3. 
SCABIOUS-FLOWERED HYBRIDS. The flowers are of medium 
size but are produced in great profusion. They have wide outer 
florets, but the inner section of the flower is deep and made up of 
shorter, more tubular florets closely compacted; the result is they 
resemble the flowers of scabious. Colors in the mixture include 
crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow, pink, and white. Trade Pkt. 
15 cts., V%oz. 50 cts., y 4 oz. 75 cts., oz. $2.50. 
While the Giant Double and Dahlia-flowered Zinnias are in great 
demand for cutting purposes, we wish to recommend this very 
beautiful variety for bedding or for table decoration. The color is a 
brilliant salmon-rose. x / 4 oz. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., y 4 lb. $1.50.

The plants are of the same vigorous habit as our California Giants. 
They attain the height of 3 feet, producing mammoth flowers averaging

rative dahlia. We consider these the most popular type for cutting.
