A strain of seed saved from grand new Hybrids all greatly enlarged and im- 

 proved. The flowers are extra large, round, of the most perfect forms, borne on 

 splendid trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circumference. _1 he colors 

 include shades of scarlet and crimson, rose, pink. salmon, cream veined pink blush, 

 snowy-white and all of the new auriole types with lovely rings and large white eyes 

 as well as the new Bird's-egg or spotted type. These all stand the hot sun, and, 

 although perennials, they will produce nice bushy plants and flowers from seeds 

 sown the same season. The gorgeous flowers, borne continuously, render these 

 most popular plants for pot culture in winter or for bedding out in summer. 1- to

Giant=Flowering Heliotropes. 



The heads of blossoms of this new type often measure a foot 

 across; the individual florets are also very large, and their de- 

 licious perfume is just as enchanting as in the old, small-flower- 

 ing types. The plants, 18 inches high, are healthy bushy and 

 compact; the leaves are large and luxuriant. Seed sown in the 

 spring produces full-grown, profuse-flowering plants by July 

 which flower in the garden until cut down by frost or are 

 grown in pots for winter flowers. (See cut.)

Impatiens Holstii. 



A new and handsome plant from East Africa. It 

 forms bushes l'/s to 2 feet high and resembles in habit, 

 foliage and shape of flowers the popular Impatiens Sul- 

 tanii, but surpassing the latter by far by its quicker and 

 more vigorous grow r th and its much larger flowers and the 

 greater quantity produced. The flowers, 114 to \' x \ 

 inches across, are of brilliant vermilion, a gorgeous coloring 

 contrasting beautifully to the dark green foliage. In a 

 half-shady situation the plants grow luxuriantly out-of- 

 doors and form effective and unusually showy flower beds 

 by their great abundance of bloom. If grown in pots it 

 will be a first-class plant. Sown on heat in March the seed 

 lings may be planted out end of May and will be continuously 

 in bloom from June until the frost destroys them. .Pkt. 25c
