Fantasy or Chrysanthemum 
Flowered Zinnia 
Probably the most fascinating new type 
of Zinnias introduced to the floral world in 
many years. The very informal shaggy ap¬ 
pearing flowers are graceful and interest¬ 
ing, very distinct from the stiff, formal 
zinnias to which we are accustomed. The 
fascinating shades of orange, pinks and 
creams give beauty to this remarkable 
plant. Mixed colors only. Pkt. 15c; 3 for 
40c.

3 to 4 feet. Each plant produces one large flow¬

New Zinnia Fantasy 
Desert Gold 
This striking new Zinnia Desert Gold 
contains all the rich yellow and golden 
shades of the Crown of Gold Mixture 
that was offered a few years ago, but 
in our opinion surpasses this variety 
by far so that we are not listing it now. 
Desert Gold is of a Giant Dahlia Flow¬ 
ered type, the flowers often measuring 
5 inches across. Pkt. 15c, 3 for 40c. 
New Scabiosa Zinnia 
Among the oddest and most attractive 
Zinnia forms the Scabiosa Flowered 
type deserves to be more widely grown 
and better known than at present. The 
flower bears a close resemblance 
to the annual scabiosa from 
which they get their name. 
Grows 2 to 2V 2 feet high. Col¬ 
ors’mostly crimson, scarlet, or¬ 
ange, yellow and pink. Flowers 
double. Pkt. 20c; 3 for 55c,

annuals which will be found desirable for

friends and customers. Large pkt. 4c, 3 for

such as rock walls, fences, old brush, wood 
piles, etc. The variety of flowers one will

worth going miles to see. Liberal size pkt. 6c, 
3 for 15c, V 4 lb. 49c. 
JUNE "SURPRISE" OFFER 
At the end of our spring selling season we sometimes have a surplus of 
plants and as it is hard to carry many of these plants over in the greenhouses 
during the hot summer months we must go to the expense of moving them 
outside under shaded beds. Rather than go to this expense of added handling 
we offer after June 1 a “removal sale” of miscellaneous plants at $1.35 a col¬ 
lection. In this collection you will secure several dollars worth of plants at 
this low price of our selection. You may place your order any time before 
June 1 and we will ship promptly on this date if you request. When ordering 
be sure to state the type of plants wanted. For example: House plants, Bed¬ 
ding plants, or Perennial plants, your choice as to type. COUPONS CANNOT 
BE USED ON THIS OFFER. 
CURLED AND CRESTED ZINNIA 
The petals are elegantly twisted and curled, giving the flower a 
most attractive appearance. The plant grows 18 inches high by 
2 to 2% feet in diameter, and blooms freely until killed by severe 
frost. The colors range from white through many shades of yel¬ 
low, rose, pink and salmon to deepest crimson. The new Curled 
and Crested is a grand cut flower which will last a considerable 
time in water. Pkt. 10c, 3 pkts. 25c. 
Royal Bouquet Bush Verbena 
A new, upright, compact form, growing 15 to 18 inches in height and 
not more than 10 inches across, with no lateral branches being thrown 
out. It bears in the utmost profusion, very large, brilliantly colored 
flowers. The blooms are borne on long stems and group themselves 
together at the summit of the plant. _ One great possibility m connec¬ 
tion with this valuable introduction is its suitability for growing in 
pots, a thing which has hitherto been impracticable with Verbenas. 
The color range is from purest white to pink, red, blue and purple, 
many flowers being distinctly auricula-eyed. The seed is offered in 
mixture of colors only. Pkt. 15c, 3 pkts 30c.
