Petunia. Pansy. 



87 



(«) The two varieties of single 

 Petunias are very distinct, one pro- 

 ducing numerous small flowers, and 

 the other, the Grandiflora section, 

 bearing immense flowers four to five inches in diameter. 

 For bedding the former variety is the better, but for single 

 specimens the latter gives the greatest satisfaction. The 

 seeds of the double varieties are not as strong as those of 

 the single, and much care is needed to get them to germi- 

 nate. Seeds can be sown in a cold frame, hot-bed, or open 

 ground, and few flowers will give greater pleasure. They 

 are very hardy, free-flowering, and bloom from June until 

 frost. 



Hybrida, Mixed. — This includes the brightest striped 

 and blotched colorings of the regular small flowered 

 Petunias. It makes a fine display when sown broadcast 

 and allowed to grow thickly. Pkt., oc; oz. , 50c. 



Extra Large Flowering, Mixed. — Plants of strong, 

 vigorous growth and great freedom of flower. The flowers 

 are of larger size, with larger and more spreading throat 

 than those of the common varieties, and come in many 

 bright shades of coloring. Pkt., 10c. ; ioz., fl.OO. 



phlox,— ^fummondil 



(a) A bed of Phlox (the name 

 means flame) is indeed a most 

 beautiful sight, and they are so 

 easy of cultivation that no garden 

 should be without them. Either 

 massed in beds or as single plants 

 they are equally desirable, and by 

 occasional sowing a succession of 

 bloom may be had until frost. 

 Th^y like a rich, loamy soil and 

 plenty of water. Seed should be 

 sown in the open ground early in 

 the Spring, or in the Fall late 

 enough to insure their not sprout- 

 ing until Spring, as the plants will 

 not stand frost. 



Fine flixed. — An excellent strain, containing all colors 

 of the original well-known Drummond Phlox. Pkt., 5c.; 

 oz., 50c. 



Starred and Fringed Phlox. — These are the most 

 distinct and striking Phlox we have. The flowers have a 

 most distinct and star-like appearance, their attractiveness 

 being greatly enhanced by the broad, white margins which 

 border the edges of the petals. Mixed. Pkt., 5c. 



Star of Quedlinburg. — Star Phlox, extra choice mixed- 

 Pkt., 5c. 



This well-known favorite is, without doubt, one of the 

 most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that culti- 

 vation has brought forth such a bewildering variety of 

 forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted in early 

 Spring, the seeds should be sown in Autumn in a frame. 

 For Spring sowing, get the seed in as early as possible, and 

 keep the ground well watered and thoroughly stirred up to 

 kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a rich, moist soil, and 

 the largest flowers are borne upon young plants. While 

 they require plenty of sunshine in the Spring, the hot 

 Summer sun is apt to dry them up and cause the flowers to 

 become small. Our seed is all from carefully selected 

 large flowers, and with proper care in growing will yield 

 handsome returns. 



Bugnot's Giant Blotched. — Flowers of enormous 

 size, nearly circular in form, and in a great variety of the 

 handsomest and rarest colors, including some shades found 

 in no other variety. Each petal has a distinct, deeply col- 

 ored broad blotch Pkt., lOc; ioz., 11.00. 



Giant President Carnot. — Similar to preceding, in 

 large size and splendid form, but the margin of petals is 

 a clear snowy white, while centers are heavily blotched 

 with a soft rich shade of violet blue. Pkt., 10c. 



Giant Emperor William. — L,arge flowers of a soft 

 ultramarine-blue, with large distinct dark blue eye. 

 Pkt., 10c. 



Giant Beaconsfield. — Extra large flowers of deep 

 violet-blue, shading to white at the edges of the upper 

 petals. Pkt., lOc; i oz., $1.00. 



Peacock. — Large flowers of most beautiful coloring. 

 The underlying tint is a lovely ultramarine blue, which is 

 framed and streaked with rosy carmine tints in a manner 

 which resembles the brilliant eye of a peacock feather, the 

 name is further justified by beautiful iridescent blending 

 of rich shadings. Pkt., 5c. 



Emperor Frederick. — Velvety brown, shaded to a 

 narrow band of deep golden-yellow bordering each petal ; 

 the rich central portion is finely rayed with bright gold 

 lines. Pkt. 5c. 



King of the Blacks. — Magnificent large flowers of a 

 rich glossy black, having a peculiarly soft velvety appear- 

 ance; distinct from the dead black of Faust. Pkt., 5c. 



Jet Black. — [Dr. Faust, or ''Black Kniyht.") — Flowers 

 of large size and deepest dead black, being free from any 

 glossy tint. Pkt., 5c. 



Large Flowering Parisian, Mixed. — The enormous, 

 conspicuously blotched and stained flowers of this strain 

 are as large as the Trimardeau and have a wide range of 

 magnificent colors. They are borne on stout stems which 

 show their beauty to perfection, and the plant is very strong 

 growing and hardy. The best sort for florists. Pkg., 5c.; 

 J oz., 75c. 



PaSSiflora. (See cumbers.)
