All Asters. These are in every way a 
superior race of Asters. The plants are 
very healthy, robust, of branching 
growth, producing on long stems im- 
mense Chrysanthemum-like flowers of 
perfect form. They are wonderfully 
prolific and continuous bloomers. The 
decorative effect of a bed or vase of 
these Asters cannot be surpassed.

SCABIOSA ZINNIA

coming increasingly popular. They

tints. Pkt., 15c; 14 0z., 60c. 
FANTASY ZINNIA 
GLORIOUS GLEAM 
NASTURTIUMS 
Double Hybrid Mixed, Dwarf, 
Sweet Scented 
1903. Beautiful new colors. There 
are flowers of solid colors, uniform 
throughout, and others with showy

were given the highest award for this 
unusual flower. Pkt., 10c; oz., 35c; 14 
Ib., $1.00. 
Royal Purple ZINNIA 
2353. All-America Selections. New 
color in the Giant Dahlia-Flowered 
class, the flowers growing 5 inches 
across, and of a deep, rich, royal purple 
shade without any hint of blue. The 
heavy substance of the petals assures 
good lasting qualities, so the flowers 
are in high demand for cutting. Plants 
grow about 3 feet tall and are very 
free blooming. Pkt., 10c; 14 0z., 50c. 
Finest Mixed 
2381. Fantasy is the most fasci- 
nating Zinnia introduction in many 
years. The ragged-appearing flow- 
ers are interesting and graceful, and 
quite unlike the stiff, formal Zinnia 
of our grandmothers’ gardens. The 
flowers are of medium size, com- 
posed of a mass of shaggy petals, 
large enough to give a splash o 
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 02z., 50c.

Flash MARIGOLD 
(New Single. French) 
All-America Award

through bronze. Many of the flowers are 
tangerine at the base which is underlaid with 
rich red, giving it a harmonious effect. The
