beauty, color, hardiness and easy culture that belongs to these gor- 
geous flowers. Foliage is fernlike and ornamental. Stems are strong 
and erect. Plants transplant easily and each one produces a liberal 
number of blooms during the season. 
ROBINSON’S HYBRIDS, RED AND SCARLET ............... 1.25 tb) 
A really great new strain. We think so much of it 
that we have discontinued growing any of the others. 
Plants are exceytionally strong growers, produce long 
sterns and the flowers are larger than were the older 
variety. We cannot adequately describe the superb 
colorings which appear in this magnificent strain. 
They run the range from deepest red to brightest 
scarlet. For color in beds, borders or massing we 
can say they stand supreme. Use them in bright pot- 
tery vases and you’ll thrill at the colorfulness of your 
floral arrangements.
