New Sweet Scented Tropaeolum Phoebe 



A roost attractive and deliciously-scented variety, producing tlowers throughout 

 the winter and summer season of a deep, golden yellow, with a rich crimsoned feath- 

 ered blotch in each segment, outer edges notched or scolloped, the whole forming 

 into an exquisitely shaped blossom: admired by all, and a decided improvement on 

 all existing varieties in this class. Will prove a valuable plant lor tlie retailer, its 

 l)right, haiidsomely uiarked flowers selling it on sight. 



20 cents each, S2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 



New Sun-Proof 



Tuberous Rooted Begonia, 



Duke Zeppelin. 



This beautiful variety originated as a cross between Begonia Davisii and one of 

 the Tuberous Rooted sorts. It is similar in habit of growth to Begonia Davisii, 

 growing only about 8 inches higli and throwing up numberless sterns of dazzling 

 scarlet double Howers of a brilliancy not found in any other plant. It was probably 

 the most noticed flowering plant at our nursery the past summer. I'nlike all other 

 \arieties Duke Zeppelin delights in full sunsiiiiu-. 



20 cents each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100.

IMPERIAL VIOLET. 



lU.OOO Rudted Cuttings left nut of the 20,000. 



Keady for iiiunedjate delivery. 

 After these are gone shall not lie able to send plants 

 till soinelline in March. I believe the Imperial, with- 

 out exception, Is the largest, longest stemmed, deepest 

 blue tn color, and most fragrant double violet grown, 

 :iDd for health aii<l vigor cannot be surpassed if it ran 

 bpeipialleil. It bus never shown the slightest trace 

 of disease of any kind. I have heard of large yields 

 of flowers but my I'laiits tn <t .te, Jan. 1st, have given 

 me au average of '^:^ ilowers per plant, and to-day the 

 large fat baos are as thick asstraws. The price of the 

 Imiierlal has averaged so far fort is season SI. 47 per 

 100; can you beat this? If you cannot, send a small 

 order and give them a trial. With every order of a 

 dozf n or more I will send my new book on Violet Cul- 

 ture that will tell yim siuiif things that you do not 

 know; it Is a plain description of the results of years 

 of careful experiment. The book Itself is worth all 

 you pay for the plants, and is, I believe.the only work 

 of the kind in print; it also describes the model violet 

 house, preparation of beds, soil and fertilizers; this 

 work I have copyrighted and it can only be obtained 

 from me. Price of i)lauls with Violet Culture :
