NOVELTY COLORS 
These supply much needed variation in tone. They liven 
up the garden picture, and give surprisingly brilliant and 
different effects indoors. They naturally carry some purple 
and may fade some at the end, but are still very much 
worth-while. We have many other Novelty varieties 
under trial. Write us. 
Do not plant these novelty colors next to the regular 
clear reds, as they will clash. But away from them, the 
novelties are charming.
