FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES—Continued 
New Scabiosa Giant Annual 
Salmon Beauty 
This is a new color in Scabiosa. Salmon Beauty is a pure salmon with 
huge flowers on a vigorous plant. Packet 35c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, Orange Lady 
A worthy companion to Rosalie, Orange Lady brings to the Fantasy 
group a rich shade of deep bright orange, equally desirable. The medium¬ 
sized, 2J4 to 3 inch, rounded flowers are shaggy and gay in appearance, a 
colorful spot of color in the garden and extremely desirable for cutting. 
2Y 2 to 3 feet. Packet 35c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, Rosalie 
The color of this interesting Zinnia is a bright, intense rose, equally lovely 
in the garden or when cut. Plants are neat in habit, strong growing and very 
free flowering, about to 3 feet in height. The delicate informal flowers, 
composed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals are quite distinct from the stiff, 
formal Zinnias to which we are accustomed. Packet 35c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, White Light 
As near to a pure white as any Zinnia yet developed, White Light is an ex¬ 
cellent addition to the group of white flowers so much in demand. Practically 
100 per cent true to color, the medium-sized, shaggy petaled, informal flow¬ 
ers are lovely in flower arrangements and while not exactly showy in the gar¬ 
den, lend a soft note of restfulness. The free-blooming plants are 2 Yi to 3 feet 
in height, with stems of good length for cutting, and will be in flower 45 to 
50 days after seed is planted. Packet 35c. 
Zinnia Scabious-Flowered Sunburst 
This strain, unlike some others, has a very full, rounded, mound- 
Petunia All Double like center of small frilly petals rather than the ordinary,disc-petal centers 
found in some strains now on the market. Flowers are 
medium-sized, 1 y 2 to 2 inches across, carried on strong 
stems of medium length. The plants are 2 to 2Y 2 feet 
in height, branching and free-flowering. The color is a 
very vivid, pure, canary yellow, dazzling in its intensity. 
Sunburst is a very showy garden variety and is parti¬ 
cularly effective for home decoration. Packet 35c. 
in shades of purple, red and white, and brilliant scarlet. Packet 50c. 
Marshall’s New Ornamental Pepper 
An excellent plant for Fall and Christmas decoration. It has been pronounced 
by growers who have tried this Pepper for us, as far superior and more ornamental 
than varieties previously grown. Plants are compact, about 6 to 9 inches high, 
with good, deep green, heavy foliage and are literally covered with small, oval 
Petunias, All Double 
Great strides recently have been made in All-Double Petunias and many lovely 
colors can now be had separately. The plants are remarkably uniform in habit. 
They produce very large, well fringed, fully double flowers and are extremely 
floriferous.

Ranunculus, Marshall’s Super Hybrids 
We have made arrangements with a prominent New Zealand grower who has 
been supplying this wonderful strain of Ranunculus that has been taking the first 
award at the International Flower Show in New York. 
Fresh seeds will arrive here in March and may then be sown in greenhouse, 
these plants would bloom the following Spring, a selection can then be made for 
bulbs with the finest flowers to be used for exhibition purposes the following season. 
This is the finest strain that has been placed on the market. 
Packet $1.00, 6 packets for $5.00 
Salvia, New Dwarf Gem 
This new Salvia is of Tom Thumb dimensions, of compact habit, not exceeding 
6 to 8 inches in height. It is as early as Harbinger, very free flowering, producing 
numerous spikes of flowers, 4 to 5 inches long, of the most vivid scarlet color. It 
will certainly prove an excellent variety for bedding purposes and for borders, 
also a real gem for pot work. Packet 35c., 3 pkts. for $1.00 
Scabiosa Imperial Giants, Blue Moon 
Instead of a flower composed of a few rows of broad petals surmounted by a 
flat pincushion-like top of small petals, this new type has flowers composed en¬ 
tirely of broad, heavy, wavy petals, eliminating the pincushion center entirely. 
In other words, the flower is literally fully double. Because of this complete 
doubleness, the flowers are of course extremely large and deep, 2% inches across 
and 2 to 2% inches deep. The color is a rich, deep lavender-blue, a shade which 
maintains its effectiveness indoors or out. Plants are extremely upright growing, 
tall, 42 to 48 inches in height. Blue Moon is an ideal cutting type, because of the 
stem length, fully 27 inches, and especially because the large, beautifully shaped 
flowers, a lovely shade of deep lavender-blue so hard to find in annual flowers. 
Packet 35c.
