L .hose of the raisers 
Phacelia Viscida 
A most lovely, hardy annual. The blooms are saucer¬ 
shaped and of the most brilliant blue. The plants are a foot 
or more high. The flowers are large brilliant deep blue, pale 
and dotted in the center. This is not a novelty but a little 
known annual, a native of California, which deserves a place 
in our gardens. Pkt., 15c. 
New Scabiosa Grandiflora, Rosette 
As the result of’ many years’ selection and painstaking 
care in Rosette has been created a glorious new color in 
Annual Scabiosa. Rosette is a beautiful shade of deep rose, 
heavily suffused with salmon. The flowers are extra large 
and the stems are long and stiff. This glorious, glowing new 
color will undoubtedly make Rosette a most popular flower 
for the garden and also with the florist for cutting. It is a 
fitting companion to Scabiosa Loveliness, Peach Blossom and 
Shasta, all of which have received Awards of Merit from the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural Society. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Viscaria, Rose Beauty 
This novelty is tall growing and produces flowers of very bright deep 
rose on long stems. The habit of the plant is upright and the stems are 
strong and ideal for cutting. The flower petals are fringed and laciniated. 
The height of the plant is 18 inches. Annual. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Linearis is a dwarf early flowering form somewhat 
comparable to Zinnia Haageana. The single flowers 
are deep golden orange in color, with a delicate light 
yellow stripe which contrasts boldly with the dark 
center—a combination which is most attractive. It is 
early flowering, and the plant reaches a height of 
8 to 10 inches with a spread of as much as 2 feet. 
Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia,[Lilliput Pastel Mixture 
For many years we have had calls for pastel shades in this popular cut- 
flower type of Zinnia, and in response to this demand we are pleased to 
be able to offer this Pastel Mixture which is composed solely of delicate 
colors not found in the ordinary Lilliput mixture. It comprises soft 
shades of apricot, peach, creamy yellow, shell pink, delicate salmon, light 
rose and orchid. The flowers are of the usual Lilliput type, small, com¬ 
pact and symmetrical in shape, one to one and one-half inches in diam¬ 
eter, and are borne in great quantities on the neat, compact growing 
plants which usually reach a height of from 12 to 15 inches. The variety 
is early blooming, producing flowers about 45 days after the seed is 
sown. Pkt., 15c; 2 for 25c. 
Zinnia Early Wonder, Gypsy 
The Early Wonder type is distinct from all other Zinnias, producing 
flowers within 30 to 40 days from the time of seeding. The 15- to 18-inch 
plants are free-flowering, with a less heavy foliage growth, medium¬ 
sized flowers and long wiry stems without lateral branches, making it a 
good cut flower type. This variety Gypsy is a deep burnished orange, a 
very rich, most desirable shade. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, Star Dust 
Fantasy is one of those types which you either definitely do or do not 
like. To those who definitely do like this informal Zinnia, Star Dust will 
be welcomed with enthusiasm. It has the same shaggy petaled, medium¬ 
sized flower as the mixture—a delicate, graceful bloom. The color is a 
rich deep golden yellow, one of the vibrant shades closely associated with 
Zinnias, while the very free-flowering, 2%- to 3-foot plants are early 
blooming, coming into flower about 45 to 50 days from the time of plant¬ 
ing. We expect Star Dust to take its rightful place in the popular Zinnia 
section of the annual group. Pkt., 20c; 3 for 50c. 
Zinnia Pumila Dwarf Double, Spun Gold 
The new introduction, Spun Gold, is an entirely new color in this type, 
a delicate pastel shade of butter-yellow—excellent for cut-flower work. 
The flowers are rounded, 2% to 3 inches in diameter, on plants 12 to 18 
inches in height, with strong, fairly long stems. The strain is very early 
flowering, coming into bloom about 45 days after planting, a point which 
makes Spun Gold a valuable addition to the Zinnia group. Pkt., 15c 
2 for 25c. 
Aqullegia, Clematis-Flowered 
Columbine Mixed 
This glorious Columbine is absolutely distinct in 
petal formation. As will be seen from the accom¬ 
panying picture the blooms greatly resemble Clematis 
flowers. The plants are of medium height, good com¬ 
pact habit and free-flowering, whilst the individual 
blooms are large and solid in petal. The color range 
includes delicate pastel shades of pink and blue. 
Hardy perennial. Height, 2 to 3 feet. Pkt., 50c. 
Aquilegia, Clematis-Flowered
