NEW SWEET PEAS and other novelties 



GIANT LILAC PINK. 



In this exquisite novelty we find a charming- combination of salmon, amber and pale 

 lilac-pmk on cream ground. In the standard the delicate lilac color is heavily suffused 

 with salmon-pink. The wings are slightly deeper in tone, while the underlying primrose 

 ground gives a particularly pleasing and lovely color harmony. The name Lilac-Pink 

 describes the impression one receives when a few flowers are bunched together. It is a 

 strong, sturdy grower with very large flowers produced freely, four on a stem. Outstand- 

 ing and distinct in every way, it is perfectly true and fixed to 

 type and color. Per packet of 12 seeds 25c. 



FORDHOOK ORANGE. 



Fordhook Orange is a glorious shade of deep, rich salmon, 

 heavily suffused with bright orange. It is a wonderful and 

 entirely new shade. Not only is it unsurpassed in color, but it 

 also eclipses all other salmon orange varieties with its strong, 

 sturdy growth. Fordhook Orange has been given unstinted praise 

 by all who have seen it in trial ground and field. It withstands 

 sunshine better than all other similar shades, although when grown 

 primarily for exhibition purposes it should be given a certain 

 amount of shading just previous to the show to bring out its 

 glorious color to best advantage. Per packet of 12 seeds 25c. 



HONOR BRIGHT, 



A grand novelty^the best of all the cream-pink Sweet Peas. 

 The flowers, invariably borne in fours, are a rich, glowing, deep 

 rose-pink on cream g;round. The standard is softly suffused with 

 salmon, while the wings are a delightful shade of pinkish rose 

 on salmon. A distinct blotch of buff-primrose at the base of both 

 standards and wings brightens the entire flower. The large blooms 

 are well-placed on their long stems, and are most beautifully 

 waved and crimped. Per packet of 20 seeds 25c. 



TWO BEAUTIFUL NEAV SNAPDRAGONS. 



Street Pea, Fordhook Orange. 



NEW CHRYSANTHE.MUM, 

 "JAPANESE MOUNTAIN." 



Quite a unique type of miniature 

 Clirysanthemum. Sown in early spring, 

 the plants will in the same year pro- 

 duce a profusion of small, graceful 

 flowers with a tiny central disk, like a 

 small single daisy, but appearing in 

 many different colors. The foliage is 

 also ornamental, being finely cut, and 

 the vigorous plants will do excellently 

 for autumn decoration of both the gar- 

 den and the house. Per packet 25c. 



NEAV ICELAND POPPY, "SUNBEiAM 

 IMPROVED." 



An extraordinarily vigorous strain 

 of Iceland Poppies which adds a new 

 range of colors to those already known, 

 many delightful tints such as maize, 

 creams and various tones of rose being 

 included with the whites, scarlets and 

 yellows usually found. The flowers are 

 much larger than any other Iceland 

 Poppies and are borne on long, thick 

 stems. Undoubtedly a decided advance 

 on pre-existing strains. Per packet 25c. 



Antirrhinum Nanuni Grandifloruni "Radiance" — In the develop- 

 ment of the Snapdragon many new and rare shades of 

 color have been produced, but few as vivid as this. The 

 individual flower presents three shades of coloring, a deep 

 salmon rose above, the center vivid orange, merging into 

 terra-cotta at the base. Seen in the mass the general 

 effect is that of a rich salmon red, or terra-cotta shaded 

 salmon. Per packet 25c. 



^^ 



Antlrrhinnm, "Peach 

 Blow." 



Antirrhinum M a j n s Grandiflorum 

 "Peacii Blow" — The individual flow- 

 ers of this introduction are excep- 

 tionally large with bold, outstand- 

 ing petals, which keep their graceful 

 contour throughout; the coloring is 

 unique, a central band of rich, 

 golden yellow merging above and 

 below into a delicate tint like the 

 flesh on a well ripened peach. The 

 plants bear many massive spikes of 

 bloom, and make a striking appear- 

 ance, especially when massed. Per 

 packet 25c. 



Chry.santliemnm, "JapanCHe Mountain.' 



NEW EARLV DOUBLE 

 FLOWERING COSMOS. 



The reluctance of the Cosmos 

 to open its flowers before the end 

 of the season has long been a 

 source of trouble to gardeners, 

 and the introducer of this Early 

 Double novelty has spent years 

 in the effort to promote an 

 earlier type. The strain offered 

 opens its flowers in June and if 

 grown in a reasonably sunny sit- 

 uation will continue to bloom un- 

 til frost. The doubling shows it- 

 self effectively in the form of a 

 neat rosette in the center of the 

 flower. Mixed colors, per packet 

 25c.
