MRS. TtlEODOSIft B. StlEPtlLRD'S ANNUAL TRADE LIST. 



They are very large and grow on 

 long stems. Although dahlias do 

 not come true from seed always, this 

 variety may be expected to give some 

 very beautiful plants. 15 cts. pkt. 



Eschscholtzia riaritima, 



Or "Cross of Halta." 



A beautiful new variety of the Cal- 

 ifornia Poppy, with grayish green fo- 

 liage, and large yellow flowers, with 

 an orange yellow cross in the center 

 of the flower. 10 cts pkt. 



EmmenanthePenduliflora 



Or "California Golden Bells." 



A charming native annual, very 

 easily grown. It bears spikes of pale 

 golden bells, resembling Lilies of the 

 Valley. The flowers dry like tissue 

 paper, and are very pretty for winter 

 bouquets. It is very effective used 

 with pink flowers in bouquets. 10 cts 

 pkt, 



F^eesia Grandiflora, 

 New California Strain. 



This new variety grows from 12 to 

 15 inches high, with very large spikes 

 of flowers which are double the size 

 of the ordinary variety. The bulbs 

 are larger, the growth more vigorous, 

 and it is altogether a great improve- 

 ment. The flowers are white with 

 yellow centers, pale yellow with or- 

 ange centers, cream and white tinted 

 with lavender or brown. Choice mxd 

 15 cts pkt. 



Fuchsia. 



Very Fine Mixed. 

 Saved from my beautiful collection 

 of named fuchsias. Fuchsias bloom 



from seed in about six months or a 

 year, and are very interesting for the 

 amateur. The plants are better 

 bloomers than those grown from 

 cuttings, and a new variety from 

 seed gives great pleasure. 25 cts pkt. 



Geranium. 



New Large Flowering. 

 Extra selected, from very beauti- 

 ful new sorts, with large flowers. 15 

 cts pkt. 



fleuu Drooping Genista 

 "Eldorado." 



A very pretty Genista of spread- 

 ing habit that is completely covered 

 with long spikes of soft golden yel- 

 low flowers all the year. 15 cts. pkt, 



Cole's Gladiolus. 



Splendid Mixed. 



The Gladiolus from which these 

 seeds were saved are a new Califor- 

 nia strain — the most beautiful I 

 have ever seen. Their forms are 

 very lovely, the colors exquisite; all 

 shades of red, salmon, blush, pink 

 and white. They are from seedlings 

 of a collection sent out by a cele- 

 brated English grower, and are 

 wonderfully improved by our Cali- 

 fornia soil and climate. Seeds of 

 Gladiolus are very easily grown and 

 give blooming bulbs the second sea- 

 son. They can be planted in boxes 

 or the open ground. 20c per pkt, 



liathyrus SPlendens, 

 Or "Pride of California." 



No words can do justice to the 

 beauty of this climber. One of the 

 most interesting native plants, with
