ASTER-NEW DWARF WHITE QUEEN. 



A pleasing companion to the New Dwarf Crimson King, being a distinct and decidedly 

 handsome pure white Aster, resembling in height, form and habit of growth the Victoria race, 

 but is a more profuse bloomer and florets more perfect. Its habit is very dwarf and bushy, 

 only growing 8 to 10 inches high, each plant bearing from twenty to thirty beautifully formed 

 and exceedingly large and perfect double flowers, almost completely hiding the foliage. For 

 massing, bedding, bordering, and more particularly for pot culture, the New Dwarf White 

 Queen Aster is most admirably adapted. I know of nothing that would form a greater contrast, 

 or could be more attractive than a bed of New Dwarf White Queen and New Dwarf Crimson 

 King Asters. Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



ASTER— NEW DWARF CRIMSON KINO. 



A magnificent" and exceedingly dwarf, compact-growing Aster, of great value for lines or 

 margins of beds or borders. The individual flowers measure from 2V£ to 3 inches across, of a 

 most faultless Pseony form, the petals being beautifully incurved. The flowers are produced in 

 immense clusters of most perfect form, as many as forty being counted on a single plant. The 

 color is distinctly rich and gorgeous, flowers when first opened being a pure scarlet, but when 

 fully expanded changed to a handsome satiny deep scarlet, presenting with the two colors a 

 most charming appearance, the illustration on one of the colored plates in my 1892 catalogue 

 being very accurate as to color and shape of flower. As a pot plant it is unexcelled, and can- 

 not fail to be greatly admired, for it is indeed the handsomest of all bright-colored Asters. 

 Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packet, 25 cents. 



CUT AND COME AGAIN STOCKS— PRINCESS ALICE. 



This new and distinct pure White Stocks grows about 2 feet high, and if sown early will 

 produce an abundance of bloom from Spring until late in the Fall. The advantage of this 

 Stocks over all other varieties is its tendency to throw out endless numbers of side branches, 

 each bearing a cluster of beautifully shaped, perfectly double, and delightfully fragrant pure 

 white flowers. The plant seems to delight in having the blooms cut, for no sooner are they 

 robbed of their side branches than they begin to produce as many more from which their name 

 is derived (Cut and Come Again). In addition to the side shoots they produce a large top 

 cluster of handsome florets, remaining perfect for a very long period. Most every lover of 

 flowers knows how valuable the Stocks are for cut flowers, and the advantage the Cut and Come 

 Again has in this respect cannot fail to be appreciated. Packet, 15 cents ; 2 packets 25 cents. 



ZEBRA ZINNIAS 



This strain presents a new departure in Zinnias, bearing large, perfectly double flowers as 

 evenly imbricated as a Camellia. The flowers are variously striped and mottled, presenting all 

 colors and shades known in the Zinnia, such as crimson, pink, orange, yellow, violet, rose, 

 white, etc. An interesting characteristic of the New Zebra Zinnia is a tendency shown by some 

 of the plants, to throw out a branch on which the flowers are self-colored, while all the other 

 blooms are variegated or striped, making a striking and unique contrast. Packet, 10 cents ; 

 3 Dackets, 25 cents. 



GODETIA— PRINCESS HENRY. 



A new and pretty addition to the popular garden favorite the 

 Godetia. Its distinctness over all others is clearly established by 

 its dwarf, compact - habit, and beautiful colorings of its large 

 flowers. They are of a most delicate satiny rose, each petal marked 

 with a broad and shining carmine spot, contrasting beautifully 

 with its rich ground color. I can only say that if even- reader of 

 this catalogue knew how beautiful Godetia Princess Henry really 

 is, not one would fail to plant it. Seed germinates readily, and 

 will thrive in any garden, requiring but little care and attention. 

 Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents.
