Zinnia linearis 
New Stock, Super Giant Imperial, 
Dark Blue 
Scabiosa grandiflora, Rosette 
Novelty, 1937 
The Annual Scabiosa is one of our most satis¬ 
factory garden flowers for cutting, and this new 
variety is one of the most beautiful of the family. 
The large flower-head is a lovely shade of deep rose, 
heavily suffused with salmon, an unusually attrac¬ 
tive color. The plant habit is all that could be 
desired. This novelty is the result of many years of 
selection and painstaking care by the originators in 
endeavoring to perfect this particular shade. The 
color changes slowly as the flowers age and is 
beautiful at all stages, even when the blooms begin 
to dry up. Pkt. 35 cts. 
An addition to this new group of handsome 
Stocks. The plant is base-branching, each plant 
producing 12 to 15 huge flower-spikes. Florets are 
large and very double, 1^2 to 2 inches across, 40 
to 50 florets blooming at one time on a branch. 
In full bloom the plants are fully 3 feet high. 
Pkt. 50 cts. 
Statice puberula 
Flowers in five months after sowing. Plants grow 
only 4 to 6 inches high, with large, magnificent, dark 
violet blooms. It can be used for pots, in the open, 
and in rock-gardens. Turfy loam, mixed with peat 
and plenty of sand, is the most suitable soil. When 
grown in the greenhouse it is indeed a most attrac¬ 
tive plant. Pkt. 50 cts., 5 pkts. $2. 
Statice sinuata atrocaerulea, Kampf's

A distinct, all-round achievement in this popular 
flower so valuable for cutting. The blue, formerly 
somewhat pale and dusty-looking, has here attained 
a deep, shining shade, combined with greater size 
and substance of inflorescence. The flowers are 
carried in great whorls on stems from 2^2 to 3 feet 
long and are unsurpassed for cutting and, being 
everlastings, for indoor winter decorations. Pkt.
