of brilliant orange-yellow flowers similar in shape to flowers of 
Lantana at tbe tip of every growth. Can be grown in bush or tree- 
form and if nicely staked is quite attractive. Culture same as for 
Browallia. Tender perennial. Height 4 ft. 50 seeds 40c. 
ZINNIA FANTASY 
Fantasy is the most fascinating new Zinnia type intro¬ 
duced to the flower world in many years. The very informal, 
shaggy appearing flowers are graceful and interesting, quite 
distinct from the stiff, formal zinnias to which we are ac¬ 
customed. 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 grace¬ 
fully to flower arrangement. 
The color range includes the brightest shades of reds, 
yellow and orange, as well as the popular pastel pinks and 
cream. FINEST MIXED: T. pkt. 15c; 1/16 20c; % oz. 35c; 
1 oz. $2.60. 
IN JULY seeds of cool weather plants (pansy especially) 
come up poorly or not at all in spite of generous watering. 
Avoid sowings in July as much as possible.

Static© Dumoga 
STATICE DUMOSA 
THE FINEST STATICE FOR DRYING 
Of great value to the florist, in fact the most valuable of all 
Statices. In general appearance it resembles the well-known Incana 
Nana variety, which when dried is being imported from Germany 
and here used in Immense quantities in wreaths and other floral 
work. Dumosa differs from Incana Nana in having larger individual 
florets, much brighter in color, clear silvery white when dry and 
lavender when fresh. The branched stalks are more than twice the 
size of Incana, the main stems twice as stout. For these reasons 
Dumosa is a highly valuable new variety. Height 20 in. Perfectly 
hardy without protection anywhere. T. pkt. 10c; oz. $1.00; lib. $10.00. 
ZINNIA DESERT GOLD 
Flowers in shades of yellow and gold, the petals over¬ 
laid at the base with a deeper golden yellow giving a 
charming bicolor combination. Pronounced by many as the 
flnest in Zinnias. T. pkt. 15c; % oz. 30c; oz. $2.00.
