12 THEODOSIA B. SHEPHERD COMPANY. 
CALLIOPSIS Lanceolata Grandiflora. “California Sun- 
beams.”” These lovely improved varieties are much larger than any 
heretofore offered; the flowers are beautifully formed. Some saucer- 
shaped, others flat, some exquisitely incurved, while others are like great 
buttercups. The petals are broad, with pinked, toothed or irregularly 
fringed edges. Some are very light yellow, others a deeper shade, darker 
around the eye, all so fine, it is difficult to say which is the most beautiful. 
A fine perennial. 10c pkt. 
Golden Wave. Very bushy and compact, covered with hundreds of 
beautiful golden flowers, with small dark centers. Pretty annual. 5c pkt. 
COLEUS. There are few seeds more easily grown than Coleus. A 
packet of seed will bring many new and pretty varieties. They can be 
planted in cigar boxes, and transplanted when the second leaves are 
formed, into larger boxes. When 3 or 4 inches high they can be potted, or 
transplanted into the garden. Splendid mixed. 10c per pkt. 
*‘T must tell you that I have the most beautiful Coleus; planted from 
seed I bought of you last summer. * * *

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. “California Fantasies.” The peren- 
nial Chrysanthemum is more interesting to grow from seed than most any 
other flower, owing to its wonderful diversity of form, color and beauty. 
All flowers seem to be the expression of ideas, but the Chrysanthemum 
more than others seems to have ideas of its own that are new and original, 
esthetic and artistic. One realizes this in growing seedlings, and watches 
with intense curiosity and pleasure to see what each unfolding flower 
will be. The seed offered in this mixture is saved from a most varied and 
beautiful collection. Splendid mixed. 15c per pkt. 
CINERARIA. Beautiful plants easily grown from seed. Flowers in 
shades of blue, magenta, purple and white. They make fine pot plants, and 
do well bedded out in shaded places. Splendid mixed. 10c pkt.

est cutlure. The large’flowers:are of,purest white, deliciously scented, ex- 
quisitely lacinated, and freely produced,on long stems, which renders them

flowering plant, and sure to excite admiration wherever grown. 10c pkt:
