Zinnia—Pumila Picotee Delight 
DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIA 
This latest development in Zinnias is a close 
rival of the Dahlia. The blooms are often more 
than 5 inches across, 3 to 4 inches deep, the broad 
petals piled one upon the other, giving the flower 
the general appearance of a fine Dahlia. The colors 
comprise all the usual Zinnia colors as well as many 
unusual shades such as old rose, salmon, cerise, 
strawberry-red, etc. We offer a splendid mixture 
of all colors. Pkt. 10c; V 4 oz. 30c; V 2 oz. 50c; oz. 90c. 
Giant Zinnias (A) —For bedding, for borders and 
for cut flowers they furnish a wealth of blooms 
from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early 
in rows 1 y% to 2 feet apart and cover the seeds 
about % inch deep; or start indoors and transplant 
outside when the ground is warm. Hardy annual.

Lilliput Zinnia, Pompom or Lilliput Double—12 to 
15 in. The plants form handsome little bushes and 
fairly bristle with tiny, short-stemmed, very double 
flowers hardly exceeding a daisy flower in size. 
They are very pretty plants; bloom all summer until 
late in the fall. Pkt. 5c; % oz. 25c; oz. 75c. 
Scabiosa Flowered —Entirely distinct from any 
zinnias you have ever grown. The outer petals are 
long and large; the center is a semi-globular crown, 
producing a distinct interesting effect. The plants 
grow about 2*4 feet high and are crowned with 
flowers. Pkt. 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c. 
TUCKERS 1 SWEET PEAS 
Sow as early in the spring as the ground can be 
worked. Do not wait for fair weather. Sow the 
seeds in a trench 4 inches deep and cover about an 
inch of soil. Gradually fill the trench to the level 
of the garden. One quarter pound of seed will sow 
75 feet of row. 
Tuckers' Superb Mixed Spencer —This special 
mixture of Giant Spencer Sweet Pea is made from 
separate sorts, giving our customers the cream of 
the Spencers in all colors, including many of the 
latest varieties, as well as superb seedlings of ex¬ 
quisite colors and shades, which have not as yet 
been true enough to be introduced as new named 
sorts. The vigorous plants produce extremely large 
flowers, most beautifully waved and frilled, on long 
and erect stems. An especially attractive mixture. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; V 4 Ik. 60c; lb. $2.00. 
Perennial Sweet Peas —The Perennial or Everlast¬ 
ing Pea is one of the best of the hardy climbing 
plants. It produces large flowers in clusters, which 
are not, however, fragrant like the Sweet Pea and 
remains in bloom for a long time. Once established 
will remain for years without replanting. It does 
well in shady and in most places where other climb¬ 
ers would not thrive. Perfectly hardy. Grows from 
5 to 8 feet in height. Mixed colors, pkt. 10c; oz. 50c; 
V 4 lb. $1.75.
