The most magnificent of all the Pink family, and are general 

 favorites for their delicious fragrance and richness of color. Seed may 

 be sown under glass in spring or in the open ground; protect during 

 ■winter; half hardy perennials. The seed we offer has been imported 

 from the best sources in Europe, and will produce many splendid 

 novelties in double and semi-double flowers. 



Double Dwarf Vienna. — Produces double, very sweet- 

 scented flowers in the largest variety of colors and in the 

 greatest profusion. With a light protection they stand the 

 winter. Pkt., 5c. 



Early Red Grenadin. — For yielding a quantity of double 

 red flowers there is no outdoor Carnation that can equal it. 

 It will live through the winter with little protection. Pkt., 

 5c.

 beautiful shades of 

 red, pink, white, 

 variegated, etc. 

 Those sown in 

 spring commence 

 flowering in early 

 summer and 

 continue to 

 bloom in pro- 

 fusion until 

 checked by 

 frost, when they 

 can be potted and 

 taken into the 

 house and will 

 flower all winter, 

 though, if intend- 

 ed, specially for 

 winter flowering, it will be better to sow 

 later in the season. The plants are 

 abundant bloomers, quite dwarf, much 

 branched, compact and robust in habit, 

 stand upright without support. Pkt. 10c.

 dispensable for borders and edges of beds, while others are noted for 

 their beautiful flowers. Pkt., 5c. .

Cobaea. (See Climbers.) 



Cosmos. 



A handsome free flowering annual of easiest culture, the plants 

 growing from four to six feet in height. Plants are quite hardy, and 

 seed should be sown thinly in drills, or two to three seeds planted in a 

 place where plants are to grow early in spring when trees are starting 

 out in leaf. When well started, tall growing varieties should be thinned! 

 out or transplanted tostand about two feet apart, to allow them sufficient 

 room in which to grow and branch freely. With us the new mammoth- 

 flowered varieties blossom freely before severe frosts, but farther North, 

 where seasons are shorter, we recommend planting only the new early- 

 flowering varieties, which with us begin to bloom in midsummer when 

 only two feet in height and continue in flower throughout the balance 

 of the season. 



Pure White. — This is the original type, having pure white 

 flowers. Flowers are not so large nor growth so strong as 

 in the improved varieties, but it begins to bloom about two 

 weeks earlier; they are very useful for cutting. Pkt., 5c.;. 

 oz., 25c. 



Pure Pink. — This is similar, but of a beautiful soft shade 

 of rose-pink. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c. 



AH Colors, Mixed. — Besides the two preceding, this also 

 contains flowers of deeper pink and crimson shadings. 

 Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c 



Dawn. — A new early-blooming strain of dwarf growth, 

 which begins to bloom in July and continues to flower 

 throughout the season. The large circular flowers are of 

 good size, delicately tinted with rose on a white ground. 

 Plants are of compact bushy growth, about four and a-half 

 feet in height, but begin flowering, when only two feet 

 high. Pkt., 15c; oz., 40c. 



New Mammoth. — 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 

 edges 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 starlike flowers. Owing to the 

 strong growth of this strain, it is rather later in blooming 

 than small flowered types. Pkt., 5c; oz., 75c 



CLARKIA. 



Pretty, prcfuse flowering annuals, much used for edging. They 

 grow from nine inches to one and a-half feet in height, and their colors 

 are confined mostly to red and white, separate and in combination. 

 Useful for hanging baskets and vases. Pkt., 5c.
