1036. MARIGOLD HARMONY TYPE FRENCH TALL SINGLE 
FERDINAND. H. A. Proljably one of the gayest of all new flowers, 
this saucy, spicy, and colorful Harmony Type Marigold will be found 
extremely flne for cutting, llnlike the other Harmony Ty])e JIari- 
golds. Ferdinand is single flowered with a neat round crested center 
of dainty tubular florets of a rusty shade of golden-yellow sur¬ 
rounded by a single row of broad mahogany red guard jietals. Flow¬ 
ers are IVz to 1 % inches in diameter and are extremely showy and 
attractive. The plants are tall growing, 20 to 24 inches, upright, 
semi-compact growth. Stems are well over a foot in length. Like all 
Harmony Marigolds, h’erdinand is early blooming, commencing with¬ 
in three months after seed is sown and does not have the strong 
Marigold odor. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; Yi oz., $1.40; Vz oz., $2.60; 
oz., $5.00. 
1332. ZINNIA FANTASY WILDFIRE. H. A. 
There has been an unusual demand for the fan¬ 
tasy types of Zinnia, and with the addition of 
sejjarate colors, this race of Zinnias will prove 
very popular. Wildfire adds a distinct note of 
color and cheerfulness to the garden and will 
enliven any home when used in flower arrange¬ 
ments. The plants are from 2 to 3 feet in 
height, are neat in habit, strong growing and 
very free blooming, coming into flower 4.5 to 50 
days after seed is sown. We recommend sowing 
thi’s type of Zinnia in the ground where they are 
to grow if possible as they seem to succeed much 
more satisfactorily. The rich dazzling scarlet of 
this varietv will attract attention wherever 
grown. Pkt'., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; 1/4 oz., 90c; 1/2 
oz., $1.60; oz., $3.00.

1069. NIBEEMBERGIA HIPPOMANI- 
CA. (Dwarf Cup Flower.) T. P. While in 
the South this is a hardy perennial, it must 
be grown here in the North as an annual. 
It is one of the most prolific flowering 
plants that we know of. It starts to flower 
when the plants are only two inches tall, or 
about fifteen weeks after the seed has been sown, and keeps right on until 
heavy frosts. The plant at all times is neat and compact appearing, the 
new flowers covering the older flowers and seed pods. The lavender-blue 
flowers enriched by a touch of yellow in the center are most charming. 
Plants are very dwai-f, compact, and not over six inches high with a 
spread of ten inches. Foliage is light gray green. Recommended for an 
edging or border ijlant. Very beautiful in window boxes or flower pots. 
Note the illustration above. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 40c; Vs oz., $5.00; Vi 
oz., $9.00; 1/2 oz., $17.50.

859. DOUBLE BUSH FLOWERING TORCH. H. A. While Bush 
Flowering Balsams are not recent novelties, they are not well known 
in this country and so to the American gardeners they are actually 
novelties. They differ from the tall growing Balsams in that the 
flowers are on the tip of the stems making a showing of color rather 
than foliage. The plants are 10 to 15 inches high, compact and cov¬ 
ered with double flowers. The variety Torch is a penetrating ver¬ 
milion red and the showiest of this tyi)e. Ideal for edging plants, 
rock gardens and window boxes. Be sure to include Torch in your 
flower garden. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; Vs oz., 50c; Vi oz., 90c; 
1/2 oz., $1.60; oz., $3.00.
