Dutch. The heads are round, hard, thin- 

 ribbed and there are few outside leaves. 



VARIEGATED NASTURTIUMS. 



There is every likelihood of the new 

 variegated-leaved nasturtiums becoming 

 extremely popular in gardens, writes a 

 seedsman in an English contemporary. 

 I have given both the American and 

 English introductions a trial, and cer- 

 tainly they are worth pushing. Eyburgh 

 Perfection is very effective, as the bril- 

 liant flowers show up well against the 

 foliage, more so than Queen of Tom 

 Thumbs and Crystal Queen. Wherever 

 I have shown them they have caused 

 much comment, and that generally nveans 

 business.

ERFURT SEED TRADE. 



At this writing, October 20, it is pos- 

 sible to overlook the whole of our seed 

 crop for 1907, with only a few small 

 exceptions, which, however, do not count. 



In general our growers have been sat- 

 isfied with the weather lately, as it has 

 made up for a good many rainy and 

 cool days which we had to contend with 

 last summer. September, except for a 

 few wet and cool days and one rather 

 severe night-frost on the 23rd, was very 

 sunny and fine, and October has given 

 us, up to the present, very bright and 

 fine days indeed. 



On the morning after the above-men- 

 tioned frost, all the growers of cauli- 

 flower seed, which is a great special line 

 in Erfurt, were as busy as bees, erecting 

 temporary stages over their cauliflower 

 beds to enable them to protect the plants 

 over night with canvas mats, boards or 

 any other suitable material; but this 

 one frost proved quite hard enough to 

 do some damage to the maturing seed. 



Although this frost was rather rough 

 on a good many different plants, in full 

 ))loom just then, it was surprising to no- 

 tice how well a lot of them pulled round 

 again. Dahlias, for instance, got over

AMPELOPSIS LOWIl 



This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsls Veitchli. 

 The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a fresh apple 

 green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn. 



In size the leaves are rmall, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped, 

 give a very pleasing effect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over 

 a pillar, column or an old tree stump. 



This charming novelty clings closely 'and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers, 

 although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance. 



H ard plants for Autumn delivery, in pots $16.00 doz. 



Young plants for Spring delivery 7.50 doz.
