PHLOX DRUMMONDII. Star of Quedlinburgh. 
This phlox will fully meet the expectations of those who judge it 
by its picture. It is a pleasing and striking thing, and its star-

charming to look upon. It is greatly admired and praised at my 
Briar Crest grounds. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
DWARF SWEET PEA. Pink Cupid. 
This admirable low-growing sweet pea is nothing more nor less 
than a dwarf form of the celebrated pink and white sort everywhere 
known, grown and admired under the name of Blanche Ferry. Pink 
Cupid is a little beauty and is now within the reach of everybody. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
NEW ESCHSCHOLTZIA. The Golden West. 
I offer a charming new strain of the beautiful Eschscholtzia or yel-

Golden West. It is, in fact, all that its name suggests in the matter 
of beauty, and will be found invaluable for borders and edgings. It 
is a continuous bloomer. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

diversity of shades and color combinations,

name. Leaf measurements dat the Briar Crest 
grounds show some specimens to be ten or 
twelve inches long and six or eight inches 
wide, indicating that the strain is strong and 
vigorous. It is easily grown from seed, and the 
plants when started make a rapid growth.
