pronounced by growers, who have tried this Pepper for us, as far 
superior and more ornamental than varieties previously grown.

heavy foliage and are literally covered with small oval fruits in 
shades of purple, red and white, and brilliant scarlet. 50c per packet.

RANUNCULUS 
MARSHALL'S SUPER HYBRIDS 
We have made arrangements with a prominent New Zealand 
grower who has been supplying this wonderful strain of Ranunculus 
that has been taking the first award at the International Flower 
Show in New York. 
Fresh seeds will arrive here in March and may then be sown in 
greenhouse, these plants would bloom the following Spring, a selec¬ 
tion can then be made for bulbs with the finest flowers to be used 
for exhibition purposes the following season. 
This is the finest strain that has been placed on the market. $1.00 
per packet; 6 packets for $5.00. 
Zinnia, Scabiosa-Flowered 
VISCARIA, BLUE PEARL 
Viscarias are becoming extremely popular and this new shade is 
a valuable addition to these attractive annuals. The color, clear 
lavender-blue, is outstanding and the absence of an "eye" which 
is common to most sorts, adds considerably to its distinction. Makes 
a very attractive effect en masse. Packet, 35c. 
ZINNIA. SCABIOUS-FLOWERED AUTUMN TINTS 
MIXED 
This strain which has been named "Autumn Tints" is perfect in 
form of flower and comes true. The real beauty, however, is in the 
lovely color’n^ of the flowers which range through all the gorgeous 
autumn foliage tints. The colors include orange, bronze, russet, 
dull red, carm'ne-red, terra cotta and intermediate shades. Packet, 
35c; 1/4 oz., $1.00. 
NEW AND DISTINCTIVE PLANTS & BULBS 
ANGELONIA SALICARIAEFOLIA 
A most fascinating tender perennial which may be used as a pot 
plant, but experience has proven it to be a most desirable bedding

storms. The plant is well branched and festooned with Gloxinia-like 
blossoms of purplish blue with white throats. Will bloom its best 
when grown in poor soil. Plants from I'/j-inch pots, $3.00 per doz.;
