Double Blue DOUBLE BLUE CORNFLOWER. 1881 This was introduced by us in 1907, and since then has steadily gained in popular favor, until now it must be considered one of the leading annuals. It is identical in color to the popular single blue Cornflower, which is so much in demand for cutting, especially for buttonieres; but being a full double flower it takes fewer of them to make a nice bunch, and it is better in every way. The plants form nice sym- metrical bushes about 18 inches high. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.; 50 cts. per \ oz. * DOUBLE EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 1945 A new race of the Fall-flowering Chrysanthemum, which perfect their blooms in the open ground before frost. Easily grown from seed which may be expected to produce at least 75 per cent, of double-flowering plants in a large range of colors; quite hardy if given slight protection and grown in a well- drained position. 25 cts. per pkt. Giaut Double Decorative Dalilia. 2197 Our supply of this novelty comes from a famous French hybridizer who states that it has been saved from a superb collection containing a very varied range of colors with flowers frequently 8 inches across, retaining their graceful form notwithstanding their enormous dimen- sions. 25 cts
