light, twining foliage, which climbs 

 to the height of 20 feet or more, and 

 bears spikes of the most brilliant 

 flowers of a rich, deep, velvety crim-

 from 2 to 10 on a spike. It begins 

 blooming about lhe first of Decem- 

 ber, and blooms all through the win- 

 ter months, lasting into May or June. 

 A plant of it in bloom is a sight to be 

 forever remembered, and it may well 

 be called the "Pride of California."

California Larkspur. 



(Delphinum Cardinale.) 



One of our most splendid native 

 perennials, bearing long spikes of 

 brilliant scarlet flowers with a yel- 

 low eye. Through the summer 

 months the mountain sides are ablaze 

 with its firey blossoms, which can be 

 seen at a long distance. It grows 4 

 to 5 feet high in its native home; 

 under cultivation it attains 6 or 7 

 feet in height. 15c per pkt. 



Larkspur. 



"American Banner." 



A lovely new Larkspur growing l-k 

 to 2 feet high, branching out like a 

 candelabra and bearing long spikes 

 of large double flowers an inch or 

 more across, of a charming blending 

 of color — rosy crimson with stripes 

 of indigo blue and white, some pet- 

 als being dotted with blue, — some 

 are rose marked with blue, some are 

 light and dark blue in charming 

 combination, a veritable floral Amer- 

 ican flag. It is an annual, blooming 

 within a few weeks from seed; splen- 

 did for cutting purposes, and a very 

 showy garden plant. L5c per pkt. 



Mignonette "Machet." 



A beautiful new variety of French 

 origin, with spikes of very fragrant 

 red flowers, considered the very best 

 sort by all florists. 10c per pkt. 



Double Morning Glory. 



"White Tassel." 



This might be called an '* All-day 

 Glory," for it remains open during 

 the entire day. It is white, very 

 double and fringed, with delicate 

 purple marks in the center of the 

 flower. Sometimes there are several 

 rows of fringed petals outside of the 

 flower. In other flowers the center 

 is very double. It is a charming 

 thing and resembles a dainty white 

 tassel. Plants from seed give a large' 

 percentage of double* flowers. 25c 

 per pkt. 



New Single Marigold. 



"Little Brownie." 



A charming compact little Mari- 

 gold from 5 to 6 iaches high, produc- 

 ing a fine effect in masses, and un- 

 rivaled for borders. It begins bloom- 

 ing very early and in great abund- 

 ance, and blooms until very late in 

 the season. The duration of the 

 flowers and the great resistance of 

 the plant to drought is marvelous. 

 If it is so dry that the foliage disap- 

 pears, the flowers still are perfect. 

 They are vivid yellow or gold, each 

 petal marked with a large spot of 

 brownish red. 10c per pkt. 



New Double Sweet Pea.
