new types have even been developed. 
One of these is our Super Majestic 
type, an improved form of the very 
popular Majestic Snapdragons. Spikes 
are very long, especially fine for the 
florist trade as well as the home gar-

extra large. Many very lovely colors 
are available in this rust-resistant type.

SCABIOSA ZINNIA

iosa-Flowered Zinnias are becoming in- 
creasingly popular. They make a good 
cut flower, graceful and easy to ar- 
range. This strain has lovely coloring 
of autumn foliage tints. Pkt., 15c; 
14 oz., 60c. 
FANTASY ZINNIA 
Chrysanthemum-Flowered— 
Finest Mixed 
2381. Fantasy is the most fascinat- 
ing Zinnia introduction in many years. 
The ragged-appearing flowers are in- 
teresting and graceful, and quite unlike 
the stiff, formal Zinnia of our grand- 
mothers’ gardens. The flowers are of 
medium size, composed of a mass of 
shaggy petals, large enough to give a 
splash of color, but also small enough 
for graceful arrangement in bouquets. 
The color ranges from the brightest 
shades of red, yellow, and orange to 
the soft pastel pinks and creams. This 
is an exquisite Zinnia. Pkt., 10c; 
14 0z., 50c. 
PORTULACA - Moss Rose

Double Portulaca enjoys poor soil and

derful show for borders or rockery.

summer with most brilliant colors. Eas- 
ily transplanted. 6 inches. Pkt., 15c; 
18 oz., 95c; 14 oz., $1.60; oz., $4.75.
