WILLIAM ELLIOTT & SONS’ 
Sixty-Fifth Annual Catalogue 
NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1910 
Antirrhinum 
Majus 
“Ruby” 
A strikingly beautiful new variety and 
main color of the very popular Tall 
Snapdragon. The flowers are self-color- 
ed, bright ruby red, and of surprising ef- 
fect. This novelty is at the same time a 
charming plant for tall beds and groups, 
and highly valuable as a cut flower. 
Pkt. 20 cts. 
Aster Cactus 
Rosy Carmine 
This fine novelty enriches the group of 
Asters. The petals are characterized by 
being slightly twisted near the tip, which 
lends to the flower a kind of Cactus-like 
aspect, quite different to all others of its 
class. Blooms remarkably early, and of 
great value for cutting purposes. Pkt. 
25 cts. 
Aster 
Mikado Pink 
Of the Comet class. In color a most 
exquisite shade of shell pink; petals are 
narrow, very long and gracefully re- 
flexed. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Begonia Gracilis 
“Prima Donna” 
This variety was obtained by crossing 
B. semperflorens ‘‘White Triumph” with 
Gracilis luminosa. The plant is of very 
sturdy and even habit, growing to about 
10 inches, and forming a freely branch- 
ing bush, 10 to 12 inches across. The 
characteristic feature is its uncommonly 
large flowers which are of a limpid rose, 
shading to carmine toward the center. 
Extremely early variety and comes true 
from the seed. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Begonia Gracilis 
Luminosa 
Large, bright, deep scarlet flowers and 
magnificent satiny, brownish red foliage. 
Pkt. 25 cts. 
Brachycome 
Iberidifolia 
“Little Blue Star” 
This charming annual will be found 
a grand addition to the bedding section. 
The flowers are of a beautiful bright 
blue, star shaped; very effective plants, 
compact and free flowering. A great im- 
provement on the old yeriety B. iberidi- 
folia. Pkt. 15 ets. 
Antirrhinum 
Calliopsis Radiata 
Tiger Star 
A rich blooming annual with pretty, 
peculiar flowers. The leaflets of each 
flower are twisted like those of the Cac- 
tus Dahlia. Color dark brown, outer 
part golden yellow and tigered; plants of 
easy growth and compact habit. Valu- 
able both to amateurs and gardeners. 
Pkt. 20 cts. 
Cosmidium 
Burridgeanum 
Orange Crown 
Very handsome new annual, forming 
elegant, many-branched bushes of 115 
to 2 feet in height. The flower heads, 
1% to 1% inches in diameter, are car- 
ried on long, slender, but self-supporting 
stems well above the graceful linear foli- 
age. Ray florets golden yellow with a 
broad conspicuous circle of a rich orange 
around the disc, a pleasing combination 
of colors. As the plants produce a con- 
stant succession of bloom throughout the 
Summer and the flowers lasting well in 
water for days, this novelty will prove 
to be very useful for cutting purposes. 
Pkt. 20 cts. 
Dimorphotheca 
Aurantiaca 
A rare and extremely showy annual 
from South Africa, which will soon be- 
come a great favorite, on account of its 
very easy culture and its beautifully 
colored flowers. The plants, of very neat 
branching habit, grow about 12 to 15 
inches high and are exceedingly profuse 
in flowering. Its Marguerite-like blos- 
soms, 2144 to 2%4 inches in diameter, show 
a unique glossy rich orange-gold, which 
brilliant coloring is rendered the more 
conspicuous by the dark colored dise sur- 
rounded by a black zone. This splendid 
annual is well adapted for groups or bor- 
ders; it produces its pretty flowers very 
early after being planted out in the open 
ground in sunny situations and will con- 
tinue to flower during the Summer 
months. <A bed in full bloom is a magni- 
ficent sight on bright days. Pkt. 25 ets.
