 of the primrose type, suitable 

 either for out-door or pot culture.

 marked. Asa pot plant they cannot fail to give satisfaction, blooming as they do very profusely, and for out-doors in the open

 our severest winters. Packet, 2.5 cents. 



BEGONIA-Semperflorens Atropurpureus. 



♦ lJ Beautiful Begonia similar in habit to the well-known Semperflorens. It 

 qJ -L however surpasses the latter by far, by its brilliant orange carmine flowers, 

 and by its glossy brownish red foliage; the deep tint growing in intensity as the 

 season advances. The beauty of the male flowers is still enhanced by the bright 

 yellow stamens which contrast admirably with the brilliant red flowers and the dark 

 metallic leaves. 



Blooming in the greatest profusion throughout the summer and autumn, it can- 

 not be too highly recommended. 



Packet, 25 cents.

CURRIE'S SUPERFINE SCOTCH PANSY, 



THIS beautiful strain of Pansy is saved from varieties that have received the 

 first premium at the International Flower Shows of Great Britain and other 

 prominent exhibitions for a number of years, and to-day it remains pre-emi- 

 nently tiie finest strain of Pansy in cultivation. It is unexcelled by any in size of flower 

 (many of the single blooms measuring over .3 inches across), and for richness of 

 color and beautiful markings it has no equal. Scotch growers have for many years 

 excelled those of any other nation in producing fine Pansies; not only is their cli- 

 mate peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of the Pansy, but it has long been 

 esteemed by them as one of the most beautiful of flowers, and great care has been 

 taken in perfecting it. Packet, 25 cents.
