THE "COWDCOPm" OflTOHfl. 



A magnificent variety, of striking beauty. The plant is of robust habit, about 3 

 feet high. The stems, of dark purplish maroon, shine as if varnished. The flowere 

 average 8 inches long by 5 inches across the mouth, are formed of two to three 

 flowers growing one within the other, the interiors being glistening French white, 

 contrasting beautifully with the mottled royal purple exteriors. The flowers are 

 delightfully fragrant. Seeds started early in the house will produce plants that will 

 flower from early summer until frost. Often from 200 to 300 flowers are borne in 

 a season. For specimens in the garden this novelty is extremely beautiful. 



Per packet, 25 cents. 



HEW GflIIM!{Dlfl,"JfllWES KEIiWRY." 



The most beautiful variety grown ; immense flowers, often 5% inches across, of 

 dazzling crimson scarlet with narrow gold edge. It has secured several certificates 

 from European horticultural societies. It is a hardy perennial variety, flowering 

 abundantly until frost. A grand garden plant, 2 feet high by 2 feet through. 



Per packet, 25 cents. 



MtftSPTJH, "AJVIEHlCflH BflHHEt?." 



A lovely new Larkspur growing 1 % to 2 feet high, branching out like a candelabra 

 and bearing long spikes of large double flowers an inch or more across, of a charm- 

 ing blending of color — rosy crimson with stripes of indigo blue and white, some 

 petals being dotted with blue — a veritable floral American flag. It is an annual, 

 blooming within a few weeks from seed ; splendid for cutting purposes, and a very 

 showy garden plant. per packetj ^ ^^ 



fl Beautiful Climber, "The Jloonday Glory." 



(Ipom&a, svrmata.) 



A lovely, graceful and rampant climber. The vines are slender but very tough 

 and clothed with fine hairs. The leaves are deeply cleft and cut, resembling lace- 

 work, and are produced from the ground up, making a dense shade. It is a pro- 

 lific bloomer ; the flowers are open bell-shaped, borne in clusters ; color, pure white 

 with wine-red throats. They open at sunrise and close at sunset, and are followed 

 by very ornamental seed capsules. 



Although a tender perennial vine, yet it will bloom the first season from seed, 

 and if started early in the house it will commence blooming early in the summer and 

 will continue until killed by frost — in fact, it takes a pretty good freeze to stop it. 



The seeds should be soaked in warm water until they swell before sowing ; if 

 convenient to keep the plants over winter in a frame or greenhouse they will im- 

 prove with age. Per packet, 15 cents. 



Henderson's 

 "Groom of Perfection" Garden Pinks. 



(Dianthus Heddeurigi hybrida grandiflorafi. pi.) 



For many years China Pinks and their varieties have been favorites 

 for garden flowers and have been improved from time to time by skillful 

 hybridizing and selection, but in this grand new strain it would seem 

 as if the " Crown of Perfection " had been attained. The flow T ers are 

 immense, averaging 6 inches in circumference, are densely double, and 

 are produced in perfect succession during the whole 6ummer 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 pene- 

 trate 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. 



Not the least among the merits of Henderson's " Crown of Perfection" 

 Pinks is their ease of culture. They succeed with everybody and every- 

 where. Seeds sown in the open ground in early spring will produce 

 blooming plants by early summer, each plant forming a compact little 

 bUBh about one foot high by a foot across ; where bedded in quantities 

 the effect is gorgeous in the highest degree.

Hem Garden Pink, " Midnight" 



(Dianthus Heddeivigi fl. pi. Pourpre-noir.) 



A beautiful and very distinct annual Dianthus. The whole plant, 

 stems, branches and flower buds, are black, and leaves dark green. 

 The flowers are very double and wonderfully rich in coloring, almost 

 black, the high lights glowing with a surface bloom of velvety claret 

 maroon, exceedingly rich. 



Per packet, 15 cents. 



Hem Striped Alpine forget-me-not. 



{Myosolis Alpeslris striata.) 



A very unique variety. The flowers, instead of showing all one color, 

 as in other varieties, are white, breaking into stripes or rays of blue. 



Per packet, 25 cents.
