POPPY— Continued 



Double Peony Flowered, Mixed. A companion strain 

 to the preceding, but having the large double flowers 

 composed of broad silky petals with smooth or plain 

 edges, in contrast to the finely-fringed petals of the pre- 

 ceding type. Pkt. 5c. ; oz. 20c. 



PANSY 



Salvia, Splendens 



Giant Perfection. 



A splendid race, growing two and 

 a half feet high, with large spike* 



of perfect double flowers of great substance and beauty. 



Mixed. Pkt. 6c. 



This well-known favorite is without doubt one of the 

 most satisfactory flowers to grow, especially now that 

 cultivation has brought forth such a bewildering variety 

 of forms, sizes and colors. If large flowers are wanted 

 in early spring, the seeds should be sown in autumn in a 

 frame. For spring sowing, get the seed in as early as 

 possible, and keep the ground well watered and thor- 

 oughly stirred up to kill weeds. The Pansy delights in a 

 rich, moist soil, and the largest flowers are borne upon 

 young plants. While they require plenty of sunshine in 

 the spring, the hot summer sun is apt to dry them up and 

 cause the flower to become small. Our seed is all from 

 carefully selected large flowers, and with proper care in 

 growing will yield handsome returns. 



Bugnot's Giant Blotched. Flowers of enormous size, 

 nearly circular in form, and in a great variety of the 

 handsomest and rarest colors, including some shades 

 found in no other variety. Each petal has a distinct, 

 deeply-colored blotch. Pkt. 10c. ; hi oz. $1.00. 



Giant President Carnot. Similar to preceding, in large 

 size and splendid form, but the margin of petals is a 

 clear snowy white, while centers are heavily blotched 

 with a soft, rich shade of violet blue. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 

 $1.00. 



Giant Emperor William. Large flowers of a soft ul- 

 tramarine blue, with large distinct dark blue eye. Pkt. 10c. 



Giant Beaconsfield. Extra large flowers of deep vio- 

 let-blue, shading to white at the edges of the upper 

 petals. Pkt 10c. ; % oz. $1.00. 



Peacock. Large flowers of most beautiful coloring. 

 The underlying tint is a lovely ultramarine-blue, which 

 is framed and streaked with rosy carmine tints in a 

 manner which resembles the brilliant eye of a peacock 

 feather. The name is further justified by beautiful iri- 

 descent blending of rich shadings. Pkt. 5c. ; V«. oz. 75c. 



Emperor Frederick. Velvety brown, shaded to a nar- 

 row band of deep golden yellow bordering each petal ; 

 the rich central portion is finely rayed with bright gold 

 lines. Fist. 5c. and 10c.

 rich glossy black, having a peculiarly soft velvety ap- 

 pearance ; distinct from the dead black of Faust. Pkt. 5c.

 great abundance of bloom from June until November. The
