in making up our Colored Plate Collections, we have selected varieties showing marked 
contrasts in form and color, combined with hardiness and freedom of bloom. 
These collections are famous throughout the country: that they give universal satisfac¬ 
tion is evidenced by the number of congratulatory letters we receive annually from 
purchasers. The numbers on the Colored Plate are a Key to the varieties as numbered
