CRESTED OR CRISTATA 
Crested or Cristata 
Order Early—We Generally Run Short of These Popular Varie¬ 
ties. As the picture indicates, a most novel and interesting type. 
Their popularity is gaining rapidly, due, no doubt, to the great 
strides that have been made in the color range. Last year I 
planted an immense bed, thinking I would have more than enough 
for those who wished to stake particular tubers, but as the sea¬ 
son came to a close I found that hardly a plant was not staked. 
Colors are same as Single Frilled. 
Sutherlandii 
An interesting and popular variety with bronzy-red foliage. 
The plant is a compact grower, seldom getting more than 12 
inches high. The small copper flowers are produced very freely. 
It is one of the earliest to bloom. We recommend it for border 
or pot culture.
