are two-toned, with a ring of deeper color toward the center 
of the bloom. The flowers are very attractive, about 2 inches 
in diameter, and make a fine cut-flower. The plants grow 
about 2 feet tall and are very free flowering. Pkt. 15c,; 40c. 
per large pkt.; }4oz, 75c.

mixed borders, and for cutting purposes. Easy to grow in any good garden 
soil. They commence flowering early in the summer and continue until frost.

flowers, 13 ^ to 2 inches across, carried on strong stems of medium length.

tion. Early flowering, blooming 40 to 45 days from the time of planting 
seed. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large pkt.; ^oz. $1.25. 
Autumn Tints, Mixed. This new strain, which has been named Autumn 
Tints, is perfect in form of flower and comes true. The real beauty, 
however, is in the lovely color of the flowers, which ranges through all 
the gorgeous autumn tints, including orange, bronze, russet, dull red, 
carmine-red, and intermediate shades. Excellent for cut-flowers because 
of their long stems and fine keeping qualities. Pkt. 25c.; 60c. per large
