ENDERSON’S eee, 
tL “Crown of Perfection ’ China Pinks. 
(Dianthus Heddewigii hybrida grandiflora fl. pl.) 
One of the most beautiful and satisfactory of all annuals for summer flower gar- 
dens. Unrivaled for brilliancy and rich variety of color, the plants are bushy, 
ofsymmetrical form, about 1 foot. The flowers are immense, averaging 6 inches in 
circumference, are densely double, and are produced in perfect succession during the 
whole summer and autumn in such numbers as fairly to crowd each other for room. 
There is a wonderful diversity of colors, from purest satiny white to red shades so 
deep and intensely brilliant that the eye can scarcely penetrate their velvety depths; 
soft pinks and flesh tints more dainty than brush could lay; and a large proportion 
of flowers hieroglyphically marked with various hues, the delicate tints and deep 
tones mingling in exquisite contrast. (Seecut.) Mixed Colors............ Pkt. 10c.

“T want to tell you how splendidly my seeds did this year, especially the 
CROWN OF PERFECTION PINKS. I never saw anything so beautiful; they 
are a blaze of bright colors and some of the blossoms are larger than a silver 
dollar.” LILITH V. PINCHBECK, West Troy, N. Y.

Grass or Border Pinks. 
(Dianthus plumarius hybridus fl. pl.) 
These are great improvements over the charming time-honored 
inhabitant of old-fashioned gardens. The flowers of this new type 
are much larger, are borne more profusely on shorter, stiff stems. 
In these new pinks we have alarge variety of colorsand markings; the 
color of course refers to the centre of the flower, the remainder being 
white or blush, with a band of color near the margin; the colors in- 
clude blood-red, rose, maroon, purple, pink, blush, spotted, laced, 
variegated, etc. : 
They are excellent perennial garden plants, about one foot high 
when in bloom; they are vigorous, very hardy, and flower profusely 
during spring and early summer; the flowers are very large, very 
double, beautifully fringed, and emit a grateful clove-like perfume.

Double Hardy Delphinium. 
GIANT HYBRIDS. 
A splendid race of these popular hardy garden plants. The seed has been saved 
from one of the choicest named collections in England; all carefully hybridized, so that 
plants, spikes and flowers of magnificent proportions will be produced. The individual 
blossoms are of immense size, semi-double and perfectly double, dressing the graceful, 
towering spikes for from 2 to 5 feet of their length. The colors'and shades are wonder- 
fully lovely and varied, ranging from pure white and most chaste lavender up through 
every conceivable shade of blue to deep indigo and purple, several shades being blended 
in some of the varieties. The plants are tall growers, from 6 to 10 feet in height; there are 
but few plants that contribute so much to the beauty of garden or herbaceous border. 
By cutting off the spikes immediately after flowering, these Delphiniums may be had in 
bloom for several months.
