CL.EOME PUNGENS-The Giant Spider Plant.— Although this is one of 

 our Native Annuals, it is but little known. The flowers are a deep purplish pink 

 when they first open, but fade to light pink so that the lower part of the panicle 

 is a different color from the upper. The stamens are several inches long, from 

 which it derives the name— spider flower. It is a strong robust grower, 4 to 5 

 feet high with great panicles of bloom as large as a Hydrangea and unaffected by 

 wind or weather. Seed sown in the open ground in May will flower in July and 

 continue in flower uninterruptedly until frost. Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



MIGNONETTE.— Grandiflora Red Giant.— This grand novelty, first in- 

 troduced by me in 1891, is of perfect form, growing vigorously, and forming a com- 

 pact pyramid of elegant appearance. The flower spikes are of enormous unequaled 

 size, the single blossoms of an intense red color. The plant attains a height of from 

 12 to 16 inches, producing its large spikes of rich red flowers most profusely. This 

 handsome Mignonette is the result of many years' careful selection, and is 'without 

 a doubt the most distinct variety ever offered. Packet, 15 cents: 2 packets, 25 cents.

 each plant producing 3 to 5 flower stalks. Seed sown in house or hot bed in January or
