Fragrant Orange Blossom Flowering Tobacco 
2550 Fragrant Orange Blossom-Flowered Nicotiana (Flower¬ 
ing Tobacco). This is comparatively new and classed with all 
of the most popular fragrant flowers today and we predict 
it will hold a permanent place in the parks and gardens of 
America for many years. It is gaining favor all of the time. 
The tall spikes are well furnished with delicate pure white 
waxy orange blossom-like flowers as illustrated above. This is 
different from all other flowering Tobaccos. Its well balanced 
and symmetrical growth makes it ideal for formal planting. 
It grows about 18 inches high and can be used with very 
good effect for bedding, in borders and planted in groups. 
This Flowering Tobacco is a welcome companion for flowers 
that have no fragrance, such as Zinnias, Marigolds and Calen¬ 
dulas. Pkt. 25c; Special Pkt. 75c.
