1069. HIPPOMANICA (Dwarf Cup Flower). 
2 f T. P. While in the South this is a 
hardy perennial, it must be grown here in the North as an annual. 
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

inches high with a spread of ten 
inches. Foliage is light gray green. 
Recommended for an edging or 
border plant. Very beautiful in 
window boxes or flower pots. Note

cally 100 per cent double from seed. Neither the illustration nor the 
description given here can begin to do justice to these beautiful flowers.

839. ROSALIE. H. A. A new color in An- 
tirrhinums. It is a rich deep rose with an 
underlying tone of topaz or amber, giving it a 
richness which makes it stand out conspicu- 
ously among all other colors. As the tube and 
lips are the same color, the depth and richness 
of the flower are intensified. Flowers are base 
branching, producing from six to eight long 
flowering spikes on which the florets are de- 
cidedly well arranged. This all-purpose Snap- 
dragon should be in every garden. _ Bronze 
medal All-America winner. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts.,

foot plants wil remain in flower for about six weeks

are removed. A flower that will add immensely to the 
beauty of any garden, Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c.

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 cheerfulness to the garden and will enliven 
any home when used in flower arrangements. The 
plants are from 21/2 to 3 feet in height, are neat 
in habit, strong growing and very free blooming, 
coming into flower 45 to 50 days after seed is sown. 
We recommend sowing this 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 variety will attract attention 
wherever grown. Pkt., 10c; 2 pkts., 15c; 1/2 O25
