Daisies.” Admirably adapted for edgings, borders and 
low beds, and also well suited for growingin pots. Al-

GIANT CRIMSON HYACINTH BEAN. 
(Dolichos Giganteus.) 
One of theshowiest annual climbersin our trial grounds 
the past summer; the vines grow about 10 feet high, 
branching out from bottom to top, forming a network 
of vines, which are clothed with luxuriant dark green 
leaves having red ribs and veins; the leaf stalks are 
purplish maroon. The Sweet Pea-like flowers, borne in 
unusually long clusters as they age,change from blush 
to rose then carmine, and at last purplish red. Some of 
the flower stems were over afoot long, with blossoms in 
all stages of maturity. The flowers are followed by 
bronzy purple seed pods, the whole forming a mass of 
varied color and beauty from July until frost. (See

GAILLARDIAS. 
(Grandiflora Compacta.]) 
New compact-growing 
varieties, forming round 
bushes only 12 to 15 in- 
ches high, and bearing 
their long-stemmed blos- 
soms upright. The flow- 
ers are large and the col- 
ors as rich and varied as 
the old tall varieties. As 
the flowers are produced 
in continuity and abun- 
dance (the second year

of the most popular flow- 
ering plants forthe hardy

NEW GIANT iver GAILLA 
. HYBRID 
Great improvements have been made in these worthy garden plants 
the past few years, and the seed that we here offer has been saved by a 
European specialist from his choice collection of new giant hybrids. The 
flowers are of extraordinarily large size, many of them 4 and 5 inches 
across and very highly colored in great diversity of variations and 
blendings, including such combinations as dazzling scarlet with gold edge, 
blood crimson with yellow edge, yellow with orange dise, golden with 
scarlet border, pure yellow, fiery crimson and many others. These mag- 
nificent Gaillardias are hardy perennials, less coarse and more compact 
in growth than the older kinds, and they produce a constant succession 
of flowers all summer and fall; when grown in large groups they are gor- 
geously effective. As cut flowers they are almost unrivaled, the immense 
and brilliant flowers, on long self-supporting stems, ‘‘vase’’ handsomely, 
and they last in water for days. (See cut.) Mixed Colors....... Pkt.10

Catizornian ESCHSCHOLTZIA, 
“GOLDEN WEST.” 
ESCHSCHOLTZIAS (popularly known as ‘‘Califor- 
nia Poppies’’) havelong been classed among 
our most beautiful and popular annuals, be- 
ing of the easiest cultureand giving great sat- 
isfaction. From spring-sown seeds they flower 
profusely until late in the autumn, making 
them invaluable bedding plants. The flowers 
of these new giants measure from four to six 
inches in diameter. hey are beautifully and 
variously formed; some are flat and wide, 
somesaucer-shaped. others very deep with flar- 
ing wavy edges. Tbese magnificent flowers, of 
immense size and lovely forms, call forth the 
most enthusiastic admiration from beholders; 
the colors are intense and shining yellows. In 
some an orange blotch almost suffuses the 
whole flower, in others it runs into the yellow 
in fine penciled lines, others again have an 
orange centre with a margin of clear yellow.

NEW ERECTA COMPACTA 
ESCHSCHOLTZIAS. 
An entirely new habit; the plants form up- 
right compact bushes, and hold the flowers 
erect, a greatimprovement over the straggling 
plants of the old Eschscholtzias. The flowers 
are also much improved, being large, of fine 
substance and borne profusely all summer 
and fall; are very showy and a great advance.
