HON. MENTION 
The blue of this new 
variety is most intense and the tall, bushy 
plants, topped with the remarkably abun¬ 
dant bloom, make a very striking border in 
I'ront of shrubs, evergreens, tall annuals or perennials. Royal Blue 
is a perennial, which may be treated like an annual. Height, 2)^ to 
3 feet. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. SI. 
UNIFLORA GIANTS. Very unusual in that only one flower grows 
on each plant, but the solitary flower is enormous (5)^ inches in 
diameter), as you would expect it to be. The plant does not 
branch but grows to its full 3 feet and the flower appears on top. 
A curio for the amateur and ideal for the exhibitor. We offer a 
mixture of all colors. Pkt. 50 cts., 3 pkts. $1.25. 
CAMPFIRE (Scabious-flowered), The plants grow 2 to 2J^ feet 
high and the blooms are of moderate size, making them suitable

a rich, dazzling scarlet. Effective bedding plants, especially 
when edged with dwarfer flowers of a contrasting or similar color.

been found in gardens. Sow in the open in spring and earlier under

will grow 1)^ feet or more high and produce showy daisy flowers, 2 
inches across, with yellow centers and narrow yellow florets. In¬
