any other plant. The strain that I am offer¬ 
ing here was carefully selected from the very 
largest flowered plants, and is unsurpassed for 
quality and variety of colors. The flowers are 
of immense size, of the most delicate crepe¬ 
like texture, often beautifully fluted or crinkled, 
of every conceivable shade, from pure white 
flesh-color, pink, salmon, rose, carmine, scarlet 
to deep crimson; shaded and blended, some¬ 
times striped or margined. Plct. 10c. 
Schizanthus Wisetonensis 
One of the daintiest of annual flowering 
plants and adapted for sowing in beds or bor¬ 
ders. The seeds germinate quickly and the 
plants flower in a remarkably short time. 
When in bloom the foliage is almost complete¬ 
ly hidden by the immense number of delicate 
butterfly-like flowers which are white, dotted 
with delicate rose. Makes an admirable pot 
plant for house or conservatory. Pkt. 15c. 
Double Chrysanthemum Flowered 
Sunflower 
This splendid strain produces very large 
flowers of perfect form, resembling giant Chry¬ 
santhemums. The plants grow 7 to 8 feet high, 
forming many branches. The flowers are on 
long stems, golden yellow and very double. 
Pkt. 10c. 
New Red Sunflower 
One of the most unique introductions of late 
years. The flowers are single and vary consid¬ 
erably in size, measuring from 4 to 8 inches in 
diameter. The color of the flowers also varies 
greatly, some of them being solid red, others 
deep maroon, others red tipped with gold and 
various pleasing combinations of red and yel¬ 
low, while some of them will come entirely 
yellow. Planted for a background or as a 
temporary hedge, they are exceedingly attrac¬ 
tive. Pkt. 15c. 
Payne’s Giant Double Zinnia 
The Zinnia is one of 
the most popular of the 
summer flowering an¬ 
nuals, producing a 
grand display of bril¬ 
liant and dazzling col¬ 
ors for many months, 
with little care and at¬ 
tention. The plants of 
this giant strain are of 
extremely robust 
growth, attaining a 
height of from 2 to 2*Z 
feet; bearing immense 
flowers, often 5 inches 
in diameter, very dou¬ 
ble, and of the most 
striking colors. I offer 
this superb strain in 7 
distinct shades: White, 
flesh-color, golden yel¬ 
low, sulphur yellow, 
scarlet, crimson and 
purple. Each, per pkt., 
15c. All colors mixed,
