CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 

 LARGE FLOWERING CHINESE. 



CHETSANTHEMUMS. 

 JAPANESE. 



NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



The fashionable flowers to-day are Roses and Chrysanthe- 

 mums, and the fantastic shaped flowers of the Japanese 

 varieties of the last named plant, in particular, are much 

 admired. The Chinese class are equally beautiful, but of an 

 altogether different form, as will be seen on reference to illus- 

 trations above. As many of our amateur patrons delight in the 

 raising of new varieties, we have procured from the best 

 sources a supply of seed that has been saved from the choicest 

 varieties in the following classes : 



Double Chinese 50c. per pkt. 



Double Japanese 50c. 



Double Pompone (small flowering) 50c. 



CHKYSANTHEMTJM CARINATTJM 

 (TRICOLOR) " ECLIPSE." 



CLEMATIS (JACKMAN S). 

 LARGE FLOWERING HYBRIDS. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM CARINATUM 

 (Tricolor) "ECLIPSE." 



A very showy variety, the form of the flowers somewhat re- 

 sembling the well known Chrysanthemum Burridgeanum, but 

 surpassing it greatly by its striking colors, which are pure 

 golden yellow with a purplish scarlet ring or centre on the ray 

 florets, the disk being dark brown. (Seecut.) 15 cts. per packet. 



CLEMATIS (Jackman's). 

 Large Flowering Hybrids. 



The Clematis divides with the Kose and the Chrysan- 

 themum the honor of standing highest in popular favor. As 

 nearly every one knows, they are hardy climbing plants of ex- 

 quisite beauty, particularly well suited for piazzas, summer- 

 houses and like situations. The flowers in the class we offer 

 are borne on the young summer wood, and will average three 

 inches in diameter, ranging through all conceivable shades of 

 purple, violet, azure, porcelain, blue and white. Hardy Peren- 

 nial. 10 feet. (See cut.) 25 cts. per packet. 



EUCHARIDIUM BREWERI. 



A rare and magnificent species, of dwarf, spreading habit and 

 narrow, lance-like foliage. The color of the flower is a purplish 

 rose shading to white in the centre. It is a profuse bloomer, 

 and is as easy of cultivation as the Clarkia. 

 25 cts. per packet. 



GLADIOLUS LEMOINEI HYBRIDS. HOLLYHOCK " CRIMSON PYRAMID. 



GLADIOLUS LEMOINEI HYBRIDS. 



We are able to offer this year seed of this beautiful and expen- 

 sive section of Gladiolus, the bulbs of which sell at from $1.00 to 

 $3.00 each. They differ from the Gandavensis sorts, in having 

 distinct and almost round flowers of intense and striking colors 

 and markings. The seed has been artificially fertilized, and 

 may safely be expected to produce many new and remarkable 

 varieties. Sown early they will flower the first year. Half- 

 hardy Perennial. '6 feet. (See cut.) 25 cts. per packet. 



NEW DWARF HOLLYHOCK, 

 "Crimson Pyramid." 



This new variety we offered plants of only in last year's cata- 

 logue, but as we succeeded in saving a quantity of seed last 

 summer, we are able. to offer in this way. " Crimson Pyramid '* 

 is different from all other Hollyhocks, in the fact that it grows 

 only from 12 to 18 inches high, and is completely covered from 

 base to summit with semi-double flowers of scarlet crimson, 

 flowering from June to September. (Seecut.) 25 cts. per packet. 



We have obtained perfect lawns in ninety days from time of sowing by using the " Henderson " Lawn Grass Seed.
