The plants begin to flower shortly af tor seeds are up, and continue to bloom profusely all summer and fall, only ceasing when overtaken by severe frost. Effective for gar- den bedding or pot culture, aud as a cut flower. Pkt. 10c. CROWN OF PERFECTION.—The flowers are greatly improved and immense, averaging six inches in circumference, are densely double and are produced in perfect succession during the whole summer. Colors from purest satiny white to red shades so deep and intensely brilliant that the eye can scarcely penetrate their velvety depths, soft pinks and flesh tints more dainty than brush could lay; and a large proportion of flowers heiroglyphicaily marked with various hues, the delicate tints and deep tones mingling in exquisite contrast. Pkt. 8c. PASSION FLOWER. MAMMOTH.—One of the most desirable of all climbing plants. Sow seed early, and if well cared for and seasons are favorable, vines will send out magnificent blossoms the first year. Its color is odd, comprising a combination of blue, pink and white, which is beautiful, very large and showy, of a feathery and vel- vet-like appearance. Vines begin to throw out blossoms when only one or two feet high, followed in the fall by beautiful golden fruit about the size of a hen's egg. If left in the open ground in winter it must have some protection. Pkt. 10c. ZEA JAPONICA. A very ornamental plant for beds or back ground for the flower garden. See description of Striped Japanese Maize with novel- ties. Per pkt. 5c, oz. 20c. m ZINNIA. Strong growing, hardy and elegant plants, rivaling the dahlia, in size and doubleness. whi
