POPPY. SNOWDRIFT. 



POPPY. SNOWDRIFT. 



In the last 3 or 4 years many new 

 varieties of Poppy have been intro- 

 duced, but with the exception of 

 Fireball, none of them can ap- 

 proach the Snowdrift for neat and 

 compact habit of growth, or im- 

 mense size of flowers, frequently 

 measuring 2% to 3 inches in diam- 

 eter. It is a profuse bloomer, 

 covering its foliage with pure 

 white flowers, round, double, with 

 finely imbricated petals. Produces 

 an abundance of bloom all Sum- 

 mer. (Poppy Snowdrift and Fire- 

 ball make a grand contrast if 

 planted together.) Packet, 10 cents; 

 3 packets, 25 cents.

 vitle, Mass.: "I am delighted with 

 your Marguerite Carnations, and

 winter."

 and my wife is well pleased with the 

 flower seeds; we thank you very

 tion." 



E-Sturgis, NewMHford. Conn. :"I 

 had a packet of Marguerite Carna- 

 tions from you last season ; they 

 bloomed as stated in catalogue, 4

A large and very double pure white

 just as valuable as the former for 

 general purposes, differing only in 

 color. Packet, 15 cents ; 2 packets, 

 25 cents.

 FIREBALL. 



(Royale Rouge). 

 An exceedingly dwarf and com- 

 pact growing Piuk, the flowers per- 

 fectl v double, and colora rich velvety

 tration on colored plate in my 1892 Catalogue. The plants are symmetrical in form, and begin 

 to flower shortly after seeds are up, and continue to bloom profusely all Summer and Fall, only 

 ceasing when overtaken by severe frost. Effective for garden bedding or pot culture, and as a

 perfectly filled flower spikes of rare beauty. 

 Of the many varieties of Verbenas on our

 approach the Viola Superba in attractive- 

 ness, t .looming continuously and remarka- 

 bly true in color and marking*. I know 

 that everyone of my customers planting

NEW MEXICAN PIGMY 



ZINNIA — Zinnia Haage= 



ana "Pumila" FI.P1. 



A Zinnia entirely new and unique 

 lately introduced from Mexico, 

 when fully developed only grow- 

 ing from 5 to 7 inches in "height. 

 The plants are of candelabra 

 form, dense and vigorous spread- 

 ing habit, and nearly covered 

 with pretty flowers of an in- 

 tense orange yellow-, andextraordi- 

 narily double. Each plant pro- 

 duces about 100 perfect blooms, 

 continuing flowering the whole 

 Summer. The Zinnia is one of 

 the showiest of flowers for garden 

 decoration, not adapted, however. 

 for bedding or margining, but in 

 the New Mexican Pigmy this 

 obstacle has been overcome, and this sort will be found of the greatest 

 value for this purpose, and also desirable for pot culture. So different 

 this Zmnia from any other, that many persons familiar with Zinnias would fail 

 to recognize Pigmy as one of the species. Packet, 15 cents ; 2 packets, 25 cents.
