POPPY. Continued.

SedvieL, Splendens. 



PANSY. 



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

 tory flowers to grow, especially now that cultivation 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 flower to be- 

 come 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 hand- 

 somest and rarest colors, including some shades found in no 

 other variety. Each petal has a distinct, deeply colored 

 blotch. Pkt., 10c; % oz., $1.00. 



^ Giant President Carnot. — Similar to preceding, in large 

 size and splendid form, but the margin of petals is a clear 

 snowy white, while centres are heavily blotched with a soft 

 rich shade of violet blue. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 75c 



Giant Emperor William. — Large flowers of a soft ultrama- 

 rine-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. 10c; Xoz., $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; % oz., 75c 



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 appearance ; 

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



Jet Black. — Dr. Fatist or Black Knight.— Flowers of 

 large size and deepest dead black, being free from any 

 glossy tint. Pkt., 5c 



Large Flowering Parisian, Mixed. — The enormous, con- 

 spicuously blotched and stained flowers of this strain are as 

 large as the Trimardeau and have a wide range of magnifi- 

 cent colors. Thev 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. Pkt., 5c; 

 % oz., 75c 



Under our hot 

 summer sun "this 

 flame colored 

 beauty" is themost 

 gorgeous of all 

 plants. For 

 months the blaze 

 of flaming scarlet 

 is intensely bril- 

 liant, with great 

 spikes of bloom 

 completely c o n - 

 cealing the foliage. 

 A single plant will 

 carry as many as 

 twohundredspikes 

 of flowers, each 

 spike 10 to 12 

 inches in length. 

 A '"packet" con- 

 tains more than 

 one hundred seeds. 

 PKt. 5c. 



Stocky T©im W(g©k§o 



All the varieties are desirable as pot plants, as well as in the open 

 garden. They are greatly prized for cut flowers on account of their fra- 

 grance and colors.

 a-half feet high, with large spikes of perfect double flowers 

 of great substance and beauty. Mixed, Pkt., 5c. 



Dwarf German Bouquet. — Large flowering. Mixed. 

 Pkt., 5c 



White Perpetual. — (Princess Alice; or, "Cut and Come 

 Again,") Of strong growth and fine branching habit, it 

 grows to the height of one and a-half feet, and if sown 

 early will produce uninterruptedly a great abundance of 

 bloom from June until November. The individual flowers 

 are uncommonly large, of a fine, rosette-like shape and the 

 purest possible white. The flowers appear on each little 

 shoot, and the oftener they are cut the better thev seem to 

 like it. Pkt., 10c
