New York Market Mlgrnonette. r -lv .^ tj ^^ • - t> t 



^ of this new Heddewig s Pink are 



of radiant scarlet-red, a color which we have not had yet 

 amongst the double summer pinks; bushes about 1 foot high 

 and of strong growth are thickly covered with these beautifully col- 

 ored blossoms and are consequently of great effect ; they may be 

 successfully used for replanting of flower beds, and also as cut-flow- 

 ers. Pkt. 20 cts. 



Gloxinia, Dvchess of Saxony 

 Weimar. 



The beautv of the brilliant scarlet flowers is intensified by a 

 small pure white frilled margin. The comparatively large flowerf 

 are wide open and show generally six or even more petals. 



They bear themselves 

 ([uite erect and close 

 together, thus forming 

 a large bouquet. This 

 remarkable growth, 

 combined with the 

 s ni a r 1 1 y undulated 

 flowers, renders this 

 variety a most valuable 

 addition to the assort- 

 ment, surpassing all 

 other hybrids in beauty 

 and effect. Pkt. 50c.

Star Petunia. 



Star Petvnia. 



By a long course of cross-fertilization and inter-breeding for 

 many years, the Star Petunia, for richness of color, beautiful mark- 

 ings and pleasing form of the flowers, which cover the plants in 

 wonderful profusion, has been developed and has won the admira- 

 tion of all flower-lovers. Their groimd color is a dark crimson- 

 maroon, with a rich velvety texture. This strain has been .so 

 highly bred and perfected that it produces but very little seed. 

 These Petunias are bound to increase the interest already taken in 

 this class of plants. Pkt. 20 cts. 



Torenia Fovrnieri Compacta, 

 "Gcfeon." 



Another valuable acquisition to the assortment of Torenias. 

 j The plants grow higher in form and make nice, compact bushes, 

 which produce abundance of flowers. Their dark color distin- 

 guishes itself prettily from the light blue. Pkt. 25 cts. -See illus- 

 tration on back cover. 



Early -Flowering Sweet Pea, 

 Mont Blanc. 



An early-flowering pure white sort of European introduction.

 but bloom freely 12 daj-s earlier. Sown under glass on February 

 20, Mont Blanc produced its first flowers on May i, and was in full 

 bloom on May 10. It can, therefore, be highly recommended for 

 forcing. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., lb. $2.50.
