inch scapes. Midseason. $8.00. 
JET. (Dr. Branch.) The flame coloring of deep 
yellow blending into burnt orange in the petals 
combined with the ruffling and crimped edges of 
both petals and sepals gives a billowing volcanic

MODINA,. (Dill.) This Hem combines several

Our listing groups the various varieties in accord- 
ance with their blooming periods. Group No. 1 lists 
those that bloom first in Spring. Group No. 2 those 
that are starting to bloom as the first group finishes, 
etc. Blooming periods will vary to some extent un- 
der different conditions of sun, shade and moisture.
