NEW COLORS OF STOKESIA. (Cornflower Asters.) 4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, al- though a native of the United States, was practically unknown as a garden plant until the year 1903, when we illustrated it in colors on the cover of our Garden Book; and, as a result of our efforts, it is now one of the popu- lar hardy perennials. Some years later, a white-flowered variety was discovered, and now we are able to offer a mixture containing a number of rose shades, white and various shades of blue and purple as well. These should prove highly inter- esting, and we look forward to the time when this plant will be found in all gardens in a great variety of colors. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. TWO BRILLIANT SWEET WILLIAMS 4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color in this favorite hardy plant, which originated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, R. I. In color it is what florists call water- melon-pink or salmony-rose. For mid-season mass-bedding it has no equal. Perfectly hardy. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the brilliant salmony-pink variety Newport Pink. The color is an in- tense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very un- common. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. A. packet of each of above 25 cts. Giant Double Zinnia. (Two-thirds natural size) RAINBOW CORN (Zea Japonica Variegata). 2662
