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 entirely of broad, heavy, wavy petals, 
eliminating the pincushion center entirely. In other words, the 
flower is literally fully double. Because of this complete double¬ 
ness, the flowers are of comse extremely large and deep, 2M 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 35e.

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 2^ to 3 inch rounded fiowers are shaggy and 
gay in appearance, a colorful spot of color in the garden and ex¬ 
tremely desirable for cutting. 2H to 3 feet. Packet 35c. 
Zinnia Fantasy, Rosalie 
The color of this interesting Zinnia is a bright, intense rosei 
equally lovely in the garden or when cut. Plants are neat in habit* 
strong growing and very free flowering, about 23^ 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 excellent addition to the group of white flowers so much 
in demand. Practically 100 per cent true to color, the medium¬ 
sized, shaggy petaled, informal flowers are lovely in flower arrange¬ 
ments, and while not exactly showy in the garden, lend a soft note 
of restfulness. The free-blooming plants are 2^ 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 Fantasy, Wildfire 
The Fantasy type is one of the most interesting of the newer 
Zinnia developments, and with its friendly informality is certainly 
maintaining its place as a reigning favorite in the Zinnia family. 
This year we are offering Wildfire, a rich, dazzling scarlet. The 
plants are neat in habit, strong growing and very free blooming, 
23^ to 3 feet in height, coming into flower 45 to 50 days after the 
seed is sown. In growing this or any other Zinnia, we strongly 
recommend sowing the seed where the plants are to bloom if this 
is at all possible. Packet 35c.

In season. Spring flowering Sweet Peas are definitely between 
early and late (or Summer) fiowering types. For greenhouse, they 
will give a greater amount of bloom than the Winter flowering 
type. Outdoors they show a greater tendency to heat resistance 
and freedom of bloom. Most important development in Sweet 
Peas in recent yea,rs.
