the harshness commonly found in a cerise-rose 25c. Zinnia, Linearius Orange 
variety. The throat is a golden yellow below 
where the bloom starts to flare which adds 
much life to the Petunia. The plant is of the 
hybrida type, very uniform, and neat in habits. 
It is decidedly free flowering throughout the 
season. The blooms measure 24/2 to 8 inches 
in diameter. Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c. 
1333. LINEARIUS ORANGE. H. A. This little 
dwarf Zinnia much resembles a Daisy. It begins 
to flower when the plants are about six inches tall 
and keeps right on throughout the season until the 
late frosts of autumn. It never looks untidy as 
the dozens of newly opened flowers prevent the 
faded ones from becoming prominent. Flowers 
are single and a lovely shade of golden-orange 
with a delicate lemon-yellow stripe through each 
petal, while the center is a dark brown with the 
young flowers turning to golden-orange as the 
flower develops. Plants reach a height of eight 
to ten inches, and with plenty of room for de- 
velopment, they spread as much as two feet in 
a season. Literally hundreds of flowers are open 
at a time. It is excellent for borders or edging 
and also for window boxes or for growing in the 
garden where a dwarf growing plant with vivid 
coloring is desired. They last nearly two weeks 
when cut and placed in water. It usually begins 
to flower ten weeks after the seed is sown. Pkt., 
10c; 2 pkts., 15c. 

130614. BRIGHTNESS. H. A. Verbenas have 
always been popular in the northern gardens. They 
remain in bloom long after the first early frost, 
extending the flowering season until heavy killing 
frost. As the name implies, this variety is particu- 
larly showy and attractive. The color, a bright rose- 
cerise, boldly contrasts with the large white eye. 
Individual florets average nearly an inch in di- 
ameter, while the flowering heads measure 21/2

874. RAMONA. H. A. California Poppies or Eschscholtzias 
are becoming more popular each year. They seem to do well 
on rather poor soil where other flowers fail. The color of 
this striking variety is a rich golden bronze with a coppery- 
rose outside. Flowers on compact plants extended on erect 
stems with flowers beautifully frilled and curved, Note illus-
