DOUBLE EXTRA EARLY 
Sensation Mixed. The fluted flowers are most informal as they bloom 
in a variety of shapes and forms, though the doubles percentage is 
quite high as the seed was hand picked from double plants only. It is 
difficult to do justice to the beauty of these large and perfectly moulded 
double flowers in a written description.

Firefly. This is a semi-dwarf, compact growing annual about 10 to 12 
inches in height with a spread of about 12 inches. The flowers are 
freely produced, and as you can see on the plant, somewhat fluted in 
formation, a deep rosy scarlet color, deepening to almost purple at 
the center. The foliage is very attractive, the plants grow very 
readily from seed and flower in about five months from the time they 
are sown. Tr. Pkt.50c Va oz.$1.00
