OosinOS. — Continued. 



New Mammoth. — It is impossible to describe ade- 

 quately the grand flowers of this exquisite large -flowered 

 type. They embrace many shades of rich crimson and 

 mauve, together with pure white and white delicately 

 tinted and clouded with pink and rose. These are also 

 monstrous white flowers with flecked and serrated 

 eges and with pink and crimson flowers of the same 

 type. The dark crimson flowers frequently resemble 

 those of a large single dahlia. Plants of this variety 

 are of strong free-branching growth, generally six feet 

 in height ; the dense growth of finely cut dark-green 

 foliage forms a splendid setting for the star-like flowers. 

 Owing to the strong growth of this strain it is rather later in 

 blooming than small-flowered types. Per pkt., Tjc.; oz., 75c.

[Chinese and Jitpanese Pinks. 



These popular 

 biennials flower 

 freely the first 

 year from seed. 

 In most localities 

 the plants are 

 quite hardy and 

 produce even 

 larger and finer 

 flowers the sec- 

 ond year. Seed 

 should be sown 

 thinly in shallow 

 drills when trees 

 are starting out 

 in leaf. When 

 well started, 

 young plants 

 should be thin- 

 ned out or transplanted, so that dwarf varieties may stand 

 six inches apart and the larger ones eight inches apart in 

 the row. Plants begin to bloom earlj' in Summer and con- 

 tinue until destroyed by hard frost.

Hardy Perennial Pinks.— These are of great hardi- 

 ness and bloom profusely during the early Spring each year 

 in the open ground. The plants are of low-spreading growth, 

 increasing in size from year to year. By reason of their 

 great hardiness and habit of blooming during the early 

 Spring, they are greatly valued for planting in cemeteries 

 and for a supply of cut-flowers early in Spring before the 

 annuals commence to flower. Seed should be sown thinly 

 in drills early in Spring when the trees are starting out in 

 leaf. When well started, young plants should be thinned 

 out or transplanted to stand twelve inches apart each way.

 nials, producing beautiful douole

 ed transplant to beds or borders, 

 setting them one to two feet apart. 

 Beds or borders in which they are 

 to grow should be of light rich soil,
