This was introduced by us some years ago and has steadily gained in popular favor, until now it must be consid- ered 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 symmetrical bushes about 18 inches high. 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per i oz. Double Rose-Pink. After several years of careful selection we have succeeded in securing a stock of this which reproduces itself almost true. The flowers are quite double, and of an attractive clear rose-pink, a color that is always in demand both in the garden and for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per J oz. 1883 Double White. This has all the good qualities of the Blue and Rose sorts, but is pure white, and when cut mixes nicely with the other colors. 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts.' per J oz. 1890 Double Mixed. Contains some each of the above three as well as other colors. 10 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per oz.
