Flower and Vegetable Seed Novelties 



Elliott's Blended Pansies 



Pansy " Emperor Franz Joseph " 



(PARISIAN GIANT IMPROVED WHITE) 



All Pansies grown for carpet bedding show the one fault of growing too 

 luxuriously, thus getting too high and irregular, never showing the 

 growth required for this purpose. Contrary to this, " Emperor Franz 

 Joseph" has a quite dwarf and compact habit, although it produces larger 

 and finer blooms than any white-flowered variety known to the present. 

 It always has large blotches, generally five, and the color of the marking is 

 contrary to all other white sorts of a brilliant violet blue. Trimardeau 

 white or President Carnot cannot compare with this novelty. It comes 

 true from seed. Pkt. 35 cts. 



Mignonette Machet—" Yellow Prince" 



Plants of perfect Machet, with flowers of a rich canary -yellow. A vast 

 improvement on anything before introduced in the way of a Yellow 

 Machet Mignonette. Flowers are large and thick after the style of our 

 already well-known Giant Crimson Mignonette. Pkt. 30 cts. 



NASTURTIUM, QUEEN OF TOM THUMBS (silver variegated foliage) 



Flowers are a rich bright crimson which forms a very pretty contrast to the silver variegated foliage, and is a strikingly handsome 

 and useful Bedding or Pot Plant, even before coming into bloom; it is very free-flowering, and unlike most variegated plants, comes 

 very true from seed ; producing 90 per cent, with true variegated foliage. It is very dwarf and compact, and will be found a great 

 acquisition as a bedding plant. Award of Merit. Pkt. 30 cts. 



Primula •* Princess May" 



(DICKSON, BROWN Z* TAIT'S) 



Though not exactly a novelty, this Primula is 

 deserving of more extended cultivation. The flowers are 

 of the purest white, very large and of wonderful 

 substance ; many spikes are produced, and these are 

 thrown well above the foliage ; its habit is vigorous and 

 free. Pkt. 50 cts. 



Wallflower White Dame 



After many years of close selection we are now in a 

 position to offer this unique selection in Wallflowers. 

 The flowers are large, of a cream-white shade of color, 

 very free-flowering and will be found a good and distinct 

 addition to the already wide range of color in this 

 popular flower. The plant is of a dwarf and compact 

 habit of growth and very suitable for spring bedding. 

 Pkt. 20 cts. 



Elliott's Blended Pansies 



This strain comprises a beautiful collection of colors 

 and markings, and we are confident it will prove satis- 

 factory for perfection of form, firmness of texture, 

 freedom of bloom, and elegance of coloring. Pkt. 25 cts.
