introduced are of my growing — 

 sports from the old varieties of the 

 same name. The}^ both give very 

 large, beautifully shaped flowers, 

 with two, and sometimes three grace- 

 fully incurved standards. The effect 

 is charming. Double Apple Blossom 

 has bright rosy pink standards and 

 blush wings; sometimes the entire 

 flower is p.nk. 



"Double Splendor" is one of the 

 most brilliant of all sweet peas, and 

 has the largest flowers. Color pink- 

 ish rose to crimson. Each ^5c. per 

 pkt.; a pkt of both 40c.;thetwo sorts 

 mixed 2~c. 



Grand New Poppy. 



"IrresistabSe." 



This grand poppy received ,its 

 name because every one who saw it 

 wanted it, and to some it proved ir- 

 resistable. They carried away the 

 flowers in triumph, saying after- 

 ward: "I had to have them, they 

 were so beautiful." It grows five 

 feet or more in height, the flowers 

 are immense and perfectly round. 

 The color is a beautiful red, and the 

 petals fringed. It is the most showy 

 and largest poppy I have every seen. 

 It came volunteer in my garden for 

 two or three years, improving each 

 year, till it at last became irresista- 

 ble. It is from "Crimson King." 20c 

 per pkt. 



New Fayal Popples. 



The most beautiful and dainty of 

 all poppies in every conceivable 

 shade of red, pink, maroon and 

 white, self and variegated, double 

 and single, large and small flowers. 

 One begins to wonder as they open 



what the next combination will be 

 there are so many and such pretty 

 ones. No one can fail to be charmed 

 with them. 20c per pkt. 



New Petunias. 



"Giants of California." 



A California strain of incompara- 

 ble beauty, size and luxuriance. 

 Most of the flowers are exquisitely 

 ruffled or fringed on the edges, and 

 are of enormous dimensions (4 to 5 

 inches across), but their great merits 

 lie in the varieties of colors, mark- 

 ings, veinings, blotchings and strip- 

 ings, in the most grotesque and beau- 

 tiful combinations; some with 

 charming deep throats of yellow, 

 white, black, green or maroon, run- 

 ning off into intricate veins. Some 

 of the colors are rich and gorgeous 

 and others of lovely delicate shades. 

 25c per pkt. 



New Giant Petunia. 



"Titania." 



A most beautiful flower of deep 

 velvety red or purple, with an ex- 

 quisitely varied light throat and 

 broad white margin — immense in 

 size. While it does not always come 

 perfectly true, yet its variations are 

 all strikingly handsome. 25c per pkt.

 "things of beauty" — every one ad- 

 mires them. 25c per pkt.
