Calliopsis Lan. Grandfl. Improved. 



"CALIFORNIA SUNBEAMS." These lovely improved varieties are 

 much larger than any heretofore offered, and have the great recommonda- 

 tion of being early blooming; the flowers are beautifully formed with very 

 long stems; some saucer-shaped, others flat, some Cosmos flowered, 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 most beautiful. They are 3 to 4 inches 

 in diameter. 50c. per pkt., 75c. per oz., $f-per ft>. 



CENTAUREA NEW MARGUERITE, pure white, 25c pkt., $1.50 oz. 



New Large Flowering Fancy Dianthus "Oriental 



Beauties" (From South Japan.) 



A magnificent strain of new large flowering Dianthus, which I have 

 thoroughly tested, and can recommend as a novelty of steiling merit. 

 These splendid flowers measure from 3 to 4 inches across with petals 

 measuring 1^ inches diameter. They are most exquisitely formed, the 

 petals being full, overlapping, crinkled and lacinated. The flowers 

 possess that peculiar and artistic charm so noticeable in all plants from 

 the Flowery Kingdom. They range in color from pure white through 

 shades of pink and crimson, the coloring and markings is rich beyond 

 description, nothing could be more dainty and pretty than their charm- 

 ing ruffles and frills. Every one is delighted with them. They are per- 

 fectly hardy, are perpetual bloomers, needing only to be cut back every 

 few weeks to bring on a new crop of flowers. 50c. per pkt., $1.50 per 4 

 ozs., $5.50 per ft>. Write for price on larger quantity. 



Mrs. Shepherd's New Eschscholtzias, "The Golden 

 West." 



Grand New Eschscholtzias, developed from E Maritima, a pretty 

 variety, having light canary yellow flowers with an orange blotch at the 

 base of each petal, forming a Maltese cross in the center. The original 

 flowers measured two inches across. The flowers of these new giants 

 measure from 3\ to 6 inches in diameter; they have very large overlapping 

 petals, often delicately waved at the edges. They are beautifully and 

 variously formed; some are flat and wide open, some saucer-shaped, others 

 very deep with flaring edges. In some the orange blotch almost suffuses 

 the whole flower, in others it runs into the yellow in fine penciled lines, 

 others again have an orange center with a margin of clear yellow, while 

 the Maltese cross in some of the flowers is very distinct. Gorgeous be-
