IMPATIENS HOLSTII. 



Dwarf Hybrids — Wanderers from East Africa re- 

 sembling their relative, the popular Impatiens 

 Sultani, but considerably excelling that vari- 

 ety in vigor of growth and luxuriance of 

 bloom. They form dwarf, compact plants 9 to 

 11 inches in width by about 8 in height, freely 

 branched. The flowers, which vary in color 

 from flesh-pink through shades of blush-pink, 

 rose and orange to scarlet and vermilion and 

 are unusually large; are produced in continu- 

 ous profusion all summer. Sow the seed in- 

 doors in March and transplant to open ground 

 in May. Packet 15c. 



NEMESIA STRtJMOSA SUTTONI. 



Improved Hybrids — A most interesting and beau- 

 tiful annual originally from South Africa, very 

 fine for bedding or pot culture. Started in- 

 doors in March and transferred to the open in 

 May a continuous wealth of bloom will be fur- 

 nished from June until frost. The range of 

 colors in these new English Hybrids is really 

 wonderful, one delighted grower reporting 129 

 different shades in a bed of 300 plants. Flow- 

 ers are fantastic in form, the colors ranging 

 from white through shades of pink, yellow 

 orange and scarlet to deep crimson. Pkt. 20c. 



PRIMULA MALACOIDES. 



A very pretty new Primula introduced from China. It is somewhat like the 

 dainty Baby Primrose (P. Forbesi) but its growth is much more sturdy. The light 

 green leaves form a rosette, from which the tall flower-spikes rise in great pro- 

 fusion. The flowers, a delicate shade of lavender, keep remarkably when cut and 

 are very graceful. The plants will flower in four months from sowing and may 

 be grown in sheltered locations outside or as pot plants indoors. Pkt. 10c. 



SALVIA SYLVESTRIS ALBA. 



A clear-white sport from the blue flowering hardy Salvia, nearly all seedling 

 plants producing pure white flowers. Its easy culture and great abundance of 

 bloom should make it a favorite in the perennial garden. Seeds sown in March, 

 transplanted early in May, will produce blooming plants about the middle of July, 

 and a profusion of bloom will be furnished thereafter until late in the season. 

 3 ft. Pkt. 15c. 



STATICE SINUATA — Sea Lavender. 



A splendid, half hardy, very free flowering annual, bearing flowers in great 

 quantities from early June until hard frost. The plants grow 27 to 30 inches in 

 height and are very effective either for massing or as single plants in the lawn or 

 garden. Their long flower-stalks make them highly desirable for cutting pur- 

 poses. Sow seed inside in March. 

 Rosea — Rose colored flowers. Pkt. 10c. 



Pride of the Chamois — Flowers charming chamois, a color hitherto unknown in 

 Statices. New this year. Packet 15c; 2 pkts., one of each color, 20c. 



VERBENA HYBRID! GIGANTEA. 



New Giant Flowering Verbena — This is a distinctly new class of Giant Flowering 

 Verbenas excelling in the size and noble shape of' the flower and the rich display 

 of colors and shades which come true from seed, not varying as many valuable 

 strains do. This novelty contains a large percentage of red shades, being 

 remarkable in this respect as most Verbena mixtures preponderate in blue 

 shades. Packet 10c. 



ZINNIA HAAGEANA STELLATA FL. PL. 



Cactus Zinnia — A very interesting new Zinnia, resembling a double cactus flower. 

 The dwarf, compact growing plants are covered with bloom from July to 

 October. Equally effective when growing singly or in groups in the garden or 

 when cut. Flowers orange. Pkt, 15c, 



NEMESIA STPtFMOSA SUTTONI.
