TURKISH ''Orange Daisu" HYBRIDS. 



(ErigeTon aurantiacus hybridnn.) 

 Attractive new iiybrids of one of the earliest summer- 

 flowering perennials. While the type seldom bears more 

 than one, at the most two, flowers on one stem, our new 

 hybrids produce stout, many-branched flower-stems 

 about one foot in lieiglit witli numerous large flowers, 

 114 to 2 inches across, varying in all shades of colorings 

 from wliite to rose and from yellow to light and deep 

 orange, of dazzling effect. Although perennials these 

 plants will give a good show and flower tlie first season 

 from seed sown early. They are very showy garden 

 plants, particularlj' wlien grown in masses, and thrive 

 in partially sliady situations. The plants are of very 

 easy culture and attain a height in flower of about

( Graiidittora, Compnrtn.) 

 New compact-growing 

 varieties, forming round 

 bushes only 12 to 15 in-

 7 ;.'"'■ ""'"t beautiful and popular annuals, being of the easiest culture and giving great satis-

GIANT GRIMSON 



HYAGINTH BEAN. 



(Doliclius Glf^anteijs.) 

 One of the showiest annual climbers In our 

 trial grounds the jmst summer; the vines 

 gi-ow about 10 feet high, brandling out from 

 liottoin to top, forming a network of vines, 

 which are clothed with lu.xuriant dark green 

 leaves havingredribsand veins; theleaf stalks 

 are purplish maroim. The Sweet Pea-like 

 flowers, borne in unusually long clusters as 

 they age, change from blush to rose then car- 

 mine, and at last purplish red. Some of the 

 flower stems were over a foot long, with 

 lilossoms 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

NEW GIANT T.^Io GfllLLftRDIAS. 



Great improvements have been made in these worthy garden plants the 

 past few years, and the seed that we here offer has been saved bv 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 disc, golden 

 with scarlet border, pure yellow, fiery crimson and many others. These 

 magnificent Gaillardias are hardy perennials, less coarse and more com- 

 pact in growth than the older kinds, and they produce a constant succes- 

 sion of flowers all summer and fall ; when grown in large groups thev are 

 gorgeously effective. As cut flowers they are almost unrivaled, the im- 

 mense and brilliant flowers, on long self-supporting stems, "vase" hand-
