Zinnia, “Achievement” 
ELEGANS ROBUSTA GRANDIFLORA 
3595. The raising of this beautiful new Zinnia is un¬ 
doubtedly an “achievement” in the field of horticultural 
endeavor. It is distinct from all other Zinnias hitherto 
raised by the shape of its petals, which are partially 
tubular at the base and expand in ^ cactus-like form 
towards the tip, thereby displaying a rich variety of color, 
mostly of the warmer shades, such as rose, salmon, and 
lilac, scarlet, and coppery golden yellow. On the reverse 
side the petals are of a lilac tint, varying from light to 
dark, and by their singular contour they produce in the 
flower a rare and beautiful combination of color never 
before seen amongst Zinnias. 25 cts. pkt., 5 pkts. for 
$ 1 . 00 .

Bridal Veil

growers w'ith their handsome appearance. Pkt. 25 cts.

Begonias, Winter Flowering 
For the greenhouse or conservatory they are unsur¬ 
passed in brilliancy of color and effect. The demand for 
these beautiful plants is greater every year. All who 
have seen them cannot help but admire them. We have 
been successful this year in having our plants grown for 
us locally which w'e consider a great advantage to having 
to import them from England in a dormant state. We 
will have nice strong plants in 3 inch pots ready for 
delivery about May 1st . Price $1.25 each.
