1523 BELL OF IRELAND 
The several branching stems are closely set with big bell-calyces 
of pale, translucent green. Within each calyx lies a curiously formed 
little white flower. Cuts well as a fresh flower; also the spikes may be 
dried for winter decoration as a straw-flower. Pkt. 25c

Neapolitanum. Beautiful, marbled, heart-shaped foliage for that 
shaded spot that needs filling. Perfect little cyclamen blooms 
appear both spring and fall, growing about 4 inches high. Colors 
vary from white to pink and rose. After blooming, the flower 
stems curl downward to nestle among the leaves in-a most attrac- 
tive fashion. Perfectly hardy. Pkt. 35c

named varieties. Will provide a wide range of colors. Pkt. 50c

the best cut-and-come-again Zinnias. An early strain; will bloom 
till frost if flowers are kept picked. Pkt. 20c 
1528 ZINNIA, Burpee Hybrids 
This ts a widely varied mixture, generally of the cactus or chrys- 
anthemum-flowered type, with petals fluffy but not twisted. Con- 
tains most of the usual Zinnia colors, including some bicolors and 
delicate shades not occurring in blended mixtures. Pkt. 25c 
1529 CREEPING ZINNIA, Orange Glory 
Here is a new color in one of the most satisfactory ground covers 
available (botanically, Sanvitalia procumbens). NHeat-loving, easy- 
to-grow plants are 6 to 7 inches high and spread as much as 14 inches, 
bearing masses of double, 14-inch, bright orange flowers all through 
summer. Trouble-free. Pkt. 20c 
1530 ZINNIA, Persian Carpet 
All-America Selection, 1952

ing color, these perfect mimiature Zinnias make the ideal garden 
edging subject. Blooms early in tidy, well-behaved, 12-inch mounds 
of brilliant color. Stems of cutting length, with dainty foliage. Flow- 
ers fit into a modern setting, yet look perfectly at home in an old- 
fashioned bouquet. Easy to grow, thriving on heat, it produces a 
wealth of bloom with minimum care. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. $1.00
