Dear Friend: 
We have experimented with a flower which is practically unknown to most 
gardeners and were so favorably impressed with its beauty and the ease with 
which it may be grown that we want to pass it along to our customerss It is 
the AZTEC FLOWER. 
The hues of the blossoms, which are six inches in diameter, or about 
twice the size of the flowers shown in the picture, include brilliant scar- 
let, rich rose, delicate lavender, shining gold, goegeous pink and other col- 
ors. The two-foot stalks are graceful but sturdy, and the foliage is of the 
richest green. 
The following varieties that we offer are the world's finest: 
ALBA~-A large pure white, rich yellow at the center, stippled carmine. 
ALBA INMMACULATA--As its name indicates, an immaculate white without a 
hint of tattletale gray.

is dotted with rich carmine.

the brightest red imaginable,

is dotted with carmine.
