An exceedingly interesting genusof plants, embracing annuals, 

 biennials and perennials. Some of the varieties are ioliage plants, 

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

 for their beautiful flowers. Pkt., 5c. 



Maritiimi. (Dusty Miller.)— Fine silvery white fo- 

 liage; used extensively for ribbon planting, hanging baskets, 

 vases, decorative pot plants, etc. Perennial, but usually 

 grown as annual. 1 foot. Pkt., 5c. 



Chrysanthemums. 



Chrysanthemums have deserv- 

 edly become very popular, they are 

 showy and effective in the garden, 

 and very desirable for cut flowers.

Double Coronar- 

 iuni, Mixed.— Com- 

 pact bushy growth, 

 eighteen inches in 

 height. Flowers quite 

 double, three quarters 

 to one inch in diameter, 

 shading from white and 

 light lemon-yellow to 

 rich deep orange. 



Hybidum. — Dou- 

 ble, finest mixed. Pkt., 

 6c; oz., 25c. 



Cohaea- ( See Climbers.) 



Cosmos. 



A handsome free flowering annual of earliest 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 plant- 

 ed 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 to stand 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. 



All Colors, Mixed. — Besides the two preceding, this 

 also contains flowers of deeper pink and crimson shadings.

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 bush 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 



C(arkia< 



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

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

 colors are confined mostly to red and white, separate and in com- 

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

 admired, tuberous rooted 

 plants, producing exceeding- 

 ly handsome red and white

Probably there is no other kind of ornamental foliage plant so 

 well known and universally admired as the Coleus. The leaves are 

 of many shapes, shades and colors, and nearly all have a rich vel- 

 vety appearance of extraordinary beauty. No yard should be 

 without these decorative plants. 

 Tender Perennial. — Mixed. Pkt., 10c 



Carnations and Picotees— P'mks. 



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

 favorites lor 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 otter 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 protec- 

 tion. Pkt., 5c 



New Marga- 

 ret Carnation. 

 — The flowers are 

 of perfect form,

 spring commence 

 flowering in early 

 t summer and

 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
