NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1914 



ALYSSUM BENTHAMH COMPACTUM LILACINUM 



CEIOSIA OSTRICH PLUME 



SWEET ALYSSUM 

 "LILAC QUEEN" 



Distinct, new variety of the annual Sweet Alyssum with pure lilac flowers. The plants are of dwarf, 

 compact, upright growth and resemble, when in full bloom, a tiny Candytuft. Equally as useful for 

 carpet-bedding. Pkt. 20c. 



ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS GRANDIFLORUM BRILLIANT ROSE 



Large-flowered, tall Snapdragon, producing long spikes of self-colored, pure, brilliant rose flowers; 

 valuable for cutting. Pkt. 15c. 



ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS ruby 



A strikingly beautiful, new variety and main color of the very popular Tall Snapdragon. The flowers 

 are self-colored, bright ruby red, and of surprising effect. This novelty is at the same time a charming 

 plant for tall beds and groups, and highly valuable as a cat flower. Pkt. 15c. 



ARTEMISIA SACCORUM VIRIDIS 



New annual species introduced from China. Of extremely vigorous growth, this new plant forms 

 elegant and very regularly branched pyramids 3^ to 5 feet in height, resembling in aspect a small 

 Fir tree. The color of the fine foliage is a rich dark green; flowers inconspicuous. To be recommended 

 as single specimens on lawns or for groups of foliage plants. Pkt. 20c. 



PRIDE OF 

 CASTLE GOULD 



This Ostrich Plume Celosia is an entirely distinct type of Celosia pyramidalis plumosa and surpasses 

 by far anything yet placed on the market for bedding or as a pot plant for decorative purposes. The 

 colors range from blood red, carmine, golden yellow, salmon, deep scarlet, orange and wine red. Mixed 

 colors. Pkt. 25c. 



CENTAUREA MOSCHATA ROSEA 



Charming new variety of the hardy annual Sweet Sultan, about 2J^ to 3 feet in height. The color of 

 the flowers is in opening a very delicate rosy white with light pink stamens and style, changing into a 

 tender rosy pink later on. Excellent for cutting. Pkt. 15c. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM, SINGLE EA rKoSng 



A remarkable new race of single Chrysanthemums, flowering abundantly the first year from seed; 

 equal to the best named sorts. Sow early in March in a box in the house or hotbed and plant out early 



in May, 18 inches apart. These plants will 

 flower from July till frost. Pkt. 20c. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM LEUCAN- 

 THEMUM SECUNDUM 



"JUNE MARGUERITE" 



The plant of this new introduction reaches 

 the height of about 3 feet, profusely produc- 

 ing its pretty, long-stemmed flowers. The 

 latter are much larger and more elegant than 

 those of the Spring Marguerite. Its flower- 

 ets being loose and somewhat ray-like and 

 not so closely set, give the whole flower a 

 most graceful and winning appearance, so 

 that June Marguerite will most certainly be 

 received with approval everywhere. Pkt. 

 20c. 



CLARKIA ELEGANS FL. PL. 



SCARLET QUEEN 



This novelty is doubtless the most bril- 

 liantly colored variety of the tall-growing 

 Clarkia. The flowers are extremely double 

 and present, when opening, a glowing 

 salmony orange, which changes, when in full 

 bloom, to an intense salmony orange scarlet. 

 Very distinct and remarkably pretty va- 



Antirrhinum majus grandinorum 

 Brilliant Rose 



Centaurea moschata rosea 



riety, which will prove to be of great value for cutting purposes or for pot culture. Pkt. 15c« . 



CYPERUS ADENOPHORUS 



Extremely ornamental Cyperus from Brazil. When sown early, the seedlings will form' 

 well garnished plants with gracefully bent, linear-lanceolate, dark green foliage, above 

 which the elegant panicles of light green flower spikes appear. The latter are composed 

 of a great number of spikelets. Effective and very decorative plant for the greenhouse 

 or conservatory or for the open ground during Summer time. Pkt. 25c.
