Ageratum, Midget Blue 
827. MIDGET BLUE. H. A. It has been quite difficult to produce dwarf Ageratums 
Midget Blue 
which will come practically true to form and color from seed. The plants are very 
dwarf, not over two to three inches in height and smothered with small true Agera- 
tum blue flowers. The foliage is delicate and fine. Pkt., 20c; 2 pkts., 35c; 1/ oz., 
true to name from seed. However, we are pleased to offer Ageratum 
$1.50; 14 oz., $2.75; 1/2 oz., $5.25. 

Zinnia, Fantasy Wildfire 
1332. WILDFIRE. H. A. There has been an unusual 
demand for the fantasy types of Zinnia, and with the 
addition of separate colors, this race of Zinnias will 
prove very popular. Wildfire adds a distinct note of color and cheerful- 
ness to the garden and will enliven any home when used in flower arrange- 
ments. The plants are from 21!/. to 8 feet in height, are neat in habit, 
strong growing and very free blooming, coming into flower 45 to 50 days

Poppy, Olds’ All Double Shirley 


1123. OLDS’ ALL DOUBLE MIXED SHIRLEY. H. A. The bushy 
plants grow about 28 inches in height and flower early in the sum- 
mer with the richest display of color imaginable. Scarlet, carmine, 
crimson, dark and light pink, salmon shades, white, pink and white 
edged, scarlet on white ground, and pink on white grounds, as well 
as a bright cerise color. There are over 100 various color com- 
binations in our growing this season. The airy-silky sheen of 
Shirley Poppies is particular to all shades. Formerly the best 
results obtained with the beautiful Ranunculi flowered Poppies 
were 70 to 80 per cent double. This strain that we offer comes 
practically 100 per cent double from seed. Neither the illustration 
nor the description given here can begin to do justice to these 
beautiful flowers. We urge our customers to be sure to order a 
packet of this seed. Blooms are in general a good one-third larger 
than the old-fashioned strains of Shirley Poppies and are excellent 
for cut flowers if cut in the bud. This item brings us many un- 
solicited testimonials each year. Pkt., 10c; 1% oz., 30c; 1/2 0z., 
40c; oz., 60c. 
1087. MINIATURE RUFFLED BETSY ROSS. H. A. Not since the 
introduction of Petunia Martha Washington has_a new color com- 
bination been found in this type of Petunia. The color of Betsy 
Ross is red and white, the white blending to golden and the red 
blending to very deep red in the throat. The blooms are actually 
21/7, inches in diameter, well ruffled with good open throat. The 
color combination of these flowers gives the individual plant as 
well as the row of plants a decidedly gay effect. This variety is 
excellent for bedding as well as for front row borders. We predict 
that it will prove a very popular pot plant. The plants are uni- 
formly of a very dwarf growth with the foliage completely covered 
with ruffled blooms. The bicolor Petunias do not always come true 
under varying soil and weather conditions, but Betsy Ross is well 
worth a trial in your garden. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 40c; 1/32 oz., 
$1.25; 1/16 oz., $2.25; Ye oz., $4.25; 1/4 oz., $8.25.

(PERENNIAL) 
1156. CAUCASICA HYBRIDS. H. P. 
The perennial Scabiosas bloom from 
June to October and require little 
space and thrive in ordinary soil. 
They are of great value to the gar- 
dener as the graceful flowers in deli- 
cate shades of blue and lavender 
borne on long and erect stems make 
them very valuable as cut flowers 
throughout the season. No perennial 
garden is complete without them. 
This new strain of giant hybrids is 
very beautiful and a great improve- 
ment over the older types, being 
more vigorous and larger with longer 
stems and larger petals. Plants grow 
to 18 inches in height and the laven- 
der shades of flowers are frilled on 
the edges. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; 
14, oz., 40c; 14 oz., GOc; 1% oz.,
