THREE FLOWERS THAT WILL ALWAYS SATISFY 
GURNEY’S MAMMOTH VERBENAS 
Not so many years ago we considered 
as almost perfect any strain of Ver¬ 
benas, the flower of which could cover a 
25 cent piece. By careful selection an 
individual flower of our strain now al¬ 
most covers a 50 cent piece. The truss¬ 
es are of the largest size; of brilliant 
colors, free-blooming and of vigorous 
habit. For best and quickest results 
seed should be sown early in the house 
or hotbed, and transplanted to flower- 
ingquarters in May. If sown outdoors in 
May, it blooms from the end of July on.

VINCA 
SALVIA (Scarlet Sage) 
• SALVIA VOLCANO 
Of all varieties of Salvia cultivated this is 
undoubtedly the most satisfactory and finest of 
them all. It grows about 20 inches high, pyra¬ 
midal form, and is a mass of extra long racemes of 
fiery red, trumpet-shaped flowers. The earliest 
Salvia of any. Seed planted in the open ground will 
bloom by July 1st and continue 
until frost. The plants may be taken 
up from the open ground before frost 
and will bloom continuously in the 
house through the winter. It is easily 
grown from seed and comes true to 
name. For earlier flowers should be 
planted in a hot-bed and given 
same car eas cabbage or tomatoes. 
Do not plant outdoors until danger 
of frost is over Pkt. 10c; y B oz.,25c. 
GURNEY’S DAHLIA 
FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
The large size, fullness of petals, 
extraordinary color range, and good 
keeping qualities of this flower have 
all contributed to its popularity. It 
is easily grown, and keeps well when 
cut. It has been truthfully called 
“A New Flower for the People.” 
• DAHLIA FLOWERED 
MIXED ZINNIA 
This is a most wonderful Zinnia, 
coming in practically all colors and 
measuring as much as nine inches 
across. All colors mixed. Pkt., 7c; 
y 2 oz., 25c. 
• CRIMSON MONARCH 
By far the largest and best of the red shades. 
Flowers often eight inches in diameter. Plants 
very vigorous. A marvelous production of 
extraordinary merit. Pkt., 10c; J4 oz., 25c. 
Ornamental free-blooming plants 
with bright green shiny foliage and one 
of the most satisfactory and long- 
flowering bedding plants we have. Seed 
can be sown out of doors as soon as the 
ground is warm; they may be potted 
and kept in bloom through the winter; 
a fine cut flower. 12 to 18 in. Mixed—- 
Pkt., 8c; 2 for 15c. 
ZINNIAS 
Few flowers are so easily grown or bloom so 
abundantly and continuously as this hardy 
annual. Marvelous improvements have been 
wrought in the newer strains. During the months 
of August and September Zinnias are incompar¬ 
ably bright. 
SALPIGLOSSIS 
■ ^ Red Riding Hood 
DWARF LILLIPUT ZINNIAS 
RED RIDING HOOD GRACILLIMA 
• EMPEROR MIXED 
This has long been one of our Favorite Flowers 
but has never attained the popularity to which 
it is entitled. It is a splendid annual, with 
flowers of a peculiar richness, very delicate. 
Unsurpassed for cutting. Grows about three 
and one-half feet high, producing flowers nearly 
as large and about the shape of the Morning 
Glory, and comes in almost every color that one 
can imagine, deep blues, purples, crimson, 
yellow, white, etc. Mixed pkt., 5c; J4 oz., 15c. 
• SCARLET AND GOLD 
This is one of the most beautiful 
of the bright colored varieties of 
Salpiglossis, selected from more than 
fifty varieties. A beautiful scarlet 
flower with gold markings. Pkt., 8c; 
2 pkts., 15c. 
CALIFORNIA GIANT 
DOUBLE ZINNIAS 
• DOUBLE GIANT (21/ 2 Ft.) 
Here is the class to which the 
Zinnias are indebted for the favor 
they enjoy today. In habit the 
plants are tall, branching and 
vigorous. The flowers are usually 
brighter than the dahlia-flowered 
type and are nearly as large. 
• GIANT FLOWERED MIXED 
A splendid mixture of all the 
brightest colors. These will produce 
flowers nearly six inches across. 
Pkt., 5c; J4 oz., 15c; y 2 oz., 25c; 
1 oz., 40c. 
• GOLDEN YELLOW 
DOUBLE GIANT 
I saw a field of this variety of 
nearly ten acres, every plant pro¬ 
ducing a large number of brightest golden yellow 
flowers you can imagine, immense in size, and 
truly a wonderful sight. Excellent for cut 
flowers. Pkt., 8c; !4 oz., 20c. 
PICOTEE ZINNIAS 
• NEW GIANT ZINNIA 
This novelty is the most attractive thing in 
all the race of Zinnias. The flowers are of the 
Giant type, each petal distinctly tipped with a 
darker shade. They come in a variety of colors: 
orange, flesh, lemon, pink and cerise, Picotee 
Mixed — Pkt., 7c; !4 oz., 20c. 
A beautiful fiery red Zinnia which grows to a 
height of one foot. A bed of these is the most 
intense dazzling scarlet you have ever seen or 
can imagine. Pkt., 8c; 14 oz., 20c; '/ 2 oz., 35c; 
1 oz., 60c.
