THE GRANDIFLORA type, owing to its vigor of growth, its freedom of bloom and extremely wide range of colors 

 is well suited for most conditions and locations. ■ 



THE SPENCERS are of exceptionally large size, the petals waved and frilled and the general effect remarkably 

 graceful and effective. The plants are of vigorous growth and remain in bloom for a longer time than the Grandi- 

 flora sorts. 4, ^ .^,^^»j»f.*>»----.««^«aaa»...«^^<HaL,^» ■*&*** «gg; 



CULTURE. Early in the spring make a trench three to four inches deep in rich, mellow soil, so arranged that no 

 water can stand in it and plant the seed in the bottom, covering at first only one inch deep. When the plants are 

 two inches high, cultivate; and as they grow, gradually fill in the trench. When the plants are about five inches 

 high they should be supported by poultry netting, strings or brush. Water should be applied thoroughly once or 

 twice a week early in the morning or in the evening. The blooms should be picked before they form pods or the 

 plants will soon stop flowering. The following have been selected from hundreds of varieties, as being those of 

 the highest quality in their respective classes.
