CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



NEW NASTURTIUMS. 



Tall Chameleon — These new Nasturtiums possess the unusual and highly interesting feature 

 of having distinct colors of flowers borne on one and the same plant. On some self-colored 

 flowers are found, while others are blotched, splashed, striped or bordered, and many are broadly 

 marked with light or dark margins on the edges of the flowers. Many again are curiously 

 stained or flushed on clear ground colors. The marvelous contrast produced by the numerous 

 blooms so different from their neighbors makes a most charming effect, and renders this variety 

 unsurpassed for covering fences, trellises, etc. Per pkt., 10 cts.; per oz., 25 cts. 



Dwarf Chameleon— A dwarf, bushy form of the above, producing a handsome effect in beds 

 or borders. The variously colored flowers of different colors and markings on the same plant are 

 borne in great profusion and well above the foliage. Per pkt., 10 cts : per oz., 25 cts. 



Large Flowering Pansy. 



Fairy Queen — This new large flowering Pansy is remarkable for its great beauty and 

 usefulness. As a bedder or as a single plant it has a charming effect. Fairy Queen is a valuable 

 addition to the fine assortment of large flowering Pansies. The pure sky-blue of its flowers is 

 splendidly bordered with white, thus producing a very distinct, yet delicate contrast. Per 



packet, 15 cents.

NASTURTIUM CHAMELEON. 



New Giant Curled— A new and quite unique class of Pansies, the flowers of which are 

 quite original in form, the border of each petal being crisped and curled. The plants are 



of strong, sturdy growth, and the flowers 

 borne on stout stalks are of great size and 

 substance. Many colors and combinations 

 are shown in this mixture, which are not 

 met with in other Pansies. 

 Per packet, 20 cents. 



SALPIGLOSSIS. 



New Emperor— Magnificent and brilliant- flowered 

 annuals, rivaling the Orchid in the beauty and bril- 

 liance of their blooms. The flowers run through 

 shades of chamois, purple brown, dark scarlet and 

 pink, beautifully marked in the throats with lovely 

 gold veins; some are of a magnificent velvety-violet 

 color, with a bright carmine tinge to the flower, giv- 

 ing it the appearance of an extra large Petunia. 

 They grow to a height of 2^ to 3 feet, and present a 

 very striking appearance, either as individual plants 

 or in mixed borders. Per packet, 10 cts. 



NEW SWEET PEAS. 



Lady Grisel Hamilton— Color a beautiful, shining 

 pale lavender. In form it is of the most advanced 

 giant flowered type. This variety was exhibited by 

 Mr. Eckford in 1887 under the name of Mauve Queen, 

 but unfortunately the color was lost until Lady Hamil- 

 ton appeared, which is exactly of the same beautiful color, with the desirable addition 

 of being double the size and wonderfully free flowering. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Lady Mary Currie— A bright orange pink, shaded rosy lilac, a most charming 

 flower of exquisite brilliancy. This is undoubtedly the best of all the varieties of 

 Sweet Peas of this shade and will become very popular. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Mrs. Dugdale— Standards most lovely rose, shaded rich primrose, wings primrose, 

 shaded and splashed light rose— a most charming color, very large and finely 

 expanded; a grand flower of the most advanced type. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Navy Blue — A remarkable color departure, entirely distinct from any of the 

 existing varieties of Sweet Peas. General color effect dark blue, standards brilliant 

 royal purple, wings pure violet, the whole flower elegantly veined in sharp relief. A 

 most vigorous grower. Blooms of approved form, generous size and remarkable 

 substance. Stems usually bear three flowers. The only Sweet Pea that is of a true 

 blue color. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Othello— A beautiful dark brown chocolate red, self-colored flower ; a color not 

 before attained. It is of first-class form, of splendid size and substance, a very free 

 bloomer and of good, robust habit. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Sadie Burpee— The best white Sweet Pea yet introduced. The extreme daintiness 

 of its shape and pure, pearly whiteness is altogether beyond description. It is 

 absolutely the prettiest-shaped flower yet produced. The individual flowers are 

 hooded in form, of splendid substance, very free flowering and produced on long 

 stout stems. Per packet. 10 cts.
