ers stand well out from the foliage. It is a fine bloomer, rivaling even the parent, 

 the scarlet passion vine, so noted for the profusion and magnificence of its flow- 

 ers. Pkt 10c; three varieties 35c. 



TRITOMA Nobilis. A most splendid tritoma, easily grown from seed. The 

 flowers are bright scarlet, tipped with golden-yellow. Pkt 10c. 



TECOMA Telutina. A beautiful shrub, with large gloxinia-like flowers. 

 Pkt 10c. 



Mackennii. A grand new climber, of rapid growth and habit. The foliage 

 is very handsome and the long trailing branches are covered from May to October 

 with large spikes of exquisite pink gloxina- shaped flowers, the throat veined with 

 darker shades of pink. A most showy, beautiful and satisfactory flower, and eas- 

 ily grown. Pkt 10c. 



YERBENA. "Mammoth." Nothing can exceed the beauty of these splendid 

 giant flowering verbenas, which each year bear witness to the wonderful qualities 

 of Southern California soil and climate, in the great size and beauty of the flow- 

 ers. Pure white, pink, and scarlet, separate, pkt 10c; two pkts 15c. Splendid 

 mixed, pkt 5c. 



ZINNIAS. New "Curled and Crested." This splendid strain is all that is 

 claimed for it. The large curled and crested petals give a softness and beauty to 

 the flowers, that is most charming. The form and color are beautiful, and have 

 none of the stiffness of the old-fashioned zinnias. Pkt 5c. 



TESTIMONIALS. 



Swanley, Kent, England. 

 Begonias came to hand all safe and in fine order, and shall count on seeing 

 something fresh and beautiful next winter. H. CANNELL & SONS. 



Brookline, Mass. 

 I want some more seed of your splendid Nasturtiums, such as you sent me a 

 year or more ago. They certainly ran 25 feet high — such a quality of flowers 

 I never saw. JAMES LITTLE. 



Springhill, Ala. 

 I must send a few words of thanks for the pleasure your beautiful Cosmos has 

 given me. Some years ago you sent me the seed and each year they come up. 

 They give pleasure to many sick and afflicted as well as the merry ones.

 I suppose you are in receipt of many pleasant letters, giving gratifying results 

 from your output of seed, bulbs, etc. For myself I am impartially censorious 

 or grateful as the case may be, so when I tell you that all the things had from you 

 have come on splendidly you may rely upon it that it is so. I have never had 

 Clianthus germinate within 60 per cent as many seeds as that I had from you. 

 The James Kelway plants have done splendidly and are gorgeous, and the Crinum 

 is in bud having grown beautifully. H. E. GATES, M. D. 



Detroit, Mich. 

 Epiphyllums and etc. received in good order. While it is a pleasure to receive 

 such plants as you handle, it is a delight to receive them from you, because they 

 are always so clean and so carefully packed. THOS. J. CROWE.
