COLEUS 
W2511 HARRIS’ EXTRA FANCY MIXTURE. (3500 
seeds in 1/32 ounce.) We grow the seed of this 
large leaved Coleus ourselves, constantly select- 
ing for good color and form, and know it is far 
superior to any coleus on the market. The light 
and brilliant color combinations are unusually 
showy, all dull and unattractive ones having been 
taken out. The plants are broad and compact. 
Many growers who formerly raised Coleus from 
cuttings are finding that it is much more profit- 
able to use seed of our Extra Fancy Mixture. 2’
