na compacta) type Phlox that is ideal 
for use in beds for solid color. The 
color, light La France pink with eye 
of deeper pink, and the full flower 
heads mark this fine annual as a ‘‘bell 
ringer..pkt. 25c; 1/8 oz. 50c; 1/4 oz. 90c 
PHLOX GIGANTEA, Art Shades. A 
new strain of phlox drummondi with

appleblossom, light blue, mauve, rose, 
etc., each with white or cream eye. 
Winner of Award of. Merit, 1935 All-

range, with plenty of rich velvety 
colors.pkt. 25c

ZINNIA, Crown O’ Gold Type. A very 
recent development. Most unusual, in 
brilliant color range, and with flowers 
almost as big as the dahlia flowered 
type. Strikingly effective as cut-flow¬ 
ers because of the unique “crown”, 
which comes from the secondary color 
of the center petals. The blending is 
in every case most artistic because 
the secondary color is always in the 
same general color range as the first, 
but of a much yellower cast—just as 
if pigments of yellow had been added. 
In full glorious color mixture, includ¬ 
ing old rose, cream, yellow, carmine, 
pink, lavender, etc.
