WILLIAM ELLIOTT & SONS’ 
SIXTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL CATALOGUE 
NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1913 
Antirrhinum Majus—‘“Ruby’”’ 
A strikingly beautiful new variety and main color of the very 
popular Tall Snapdragon. ‘The flowers are self colored, bright ruby 
red, and of surprising effect. This novelty is at the same time a 
charming plant for tall beds and groups, and highly valuable as a 
eut flower. Pkt. 15c. 
Artemisia Saccorum Viridis 
New annual species introduced from China. Of extremely vigor- 
ous growth, this new plant forms elegant and very regularly branched 
pyramids of 31% to 5 feet in height, resembling in aspect a small Fir 
tree. The color of the fine foliage is a rich dark green; flowers incon- 
spicuous. To be recommended as single specimens on lawns or for 
groups of foliage plants. Pkt. 25c. 
Aster 
Peach Blossom 
Vick’s Late-Branching Peach Blossom is a decided and pleasing 
shade of deep lavender pink. The flowers are of the largest branch- 
ing size and very deep, having an unusual number of rather narrow 
petals. The size and thickness of the flower give it a massive 
effect. The plants are of the non-lateral type, with very strong 
stems that hold the flowers up at all times. Pkt. 25c., 2 for 40c. 
Vick’s White Perfection 
Is the finest midseason White Aster in cultivation. The flowers 
are four inches in diameter and exquisite in form, and the plants are 
taller than those of the late upright Asters. When first opened the 
entire flower is strongly whorled, producing a charming effect. The 
broad petals are slightly folded lengthwise, making them appear 
rather narrow. In mature flowers, the outer rows are straight, but 
ae center still retains its characteristic strong whorl. Pkt. 25c., 
2 for 40c. 
Enchantress Pink 
Its vigorous, upright habit of growth, the profusion of good, strong, 
flowering stems, together with the size and loose, graceful effect: of | 
the branching type of flower, make this variety a very desirable 
acquisition. The beautiful, large double flowers have the delicate 
shade of the Pink Enchantress Carnation. Unlike many other 
pink Asters, this variety holds its soft, delicate color for a long time 
without fading. The broad flat petals give a soft effect which is 
extremely pleasing. Pkt. 25c. 
Celosia Ostrich Plume 
Pride of Castle Gould 
This Ostrich Plume Celosia is an entirely distinct type of Celosia 
pyramidalis plumosa and surpasses by far anything yet placed on 
the market for bedding or as a pot plant for decorative purposes. 
The colors range from blood red, carmine, golden yellow, salmon, 
deep scarlet, orange, and wine red. Mixed colors. Pkt. 25c. 
Single Chrysanthemum 
Wells’ New Early Flowering 
A remarkable new race of single Chrysanthemums, flowering 
abundantly the first year from seed; equal to the best named sorts. 
Sow early in March in a box in the house or hotbed and plant out 
early in May, 18 inches apart. These plants will flower from July 
till frost. Pkt. 25e. — - ns 
| when in full bloom, to an intense salmony orange scarlet. 



Celosia Ostrich Plume, Pride of Castle Gould 
Clarkia Elegans fl. pl. 
Scarlet Queen 
This novelty is doubtless the most brilliantly colored variety of 
the tall-growing Clarkia. The flowers are extremely double and 
present when opening a glowing salmony orange, which changes, 
Very 
distinct and remarkably pretty variety, which will prove to be of 
great value for cutting purposes or for pot culture. Pkt. 20c. 
Chrysanthemum 
Leucanthemum Secundum 
**June Marguerite’’ 
The plant of this new introduction reaches the height of about 3 
feet, profusely producing its pretty long-stemmed flowers. The 
| latter are much larger and more elegant than that of the Spring 
Marguerite. Its flowerets being loose and somewhat raylike and 
not so closely set, give the whole flower a most graceful and winning 
appearance, so that “June Marguerite’ will most certainly be received 
with approval everywhere. Pkt. 20c. 
Dimorphotheca Sinuata 
Equally useful and of the same easy culture as the Dimorphotheca 
aurantiaca, this new South African species distinguishes itself essen- 
tially by the singularly pretty color of its flowers. They are 2144 
to 234 inches across and show a uniform clear satiny buff or light 
chamois coloring with a bluish disk, when fully open in sunshine; 
the reverse of the petals is purplish red. This rare coloring is quite 
distinct and new. The plants are 12 to 15 inches high and form 
regularly branched bushes, densely covered with numerous flowers. 
Novelty of great merit. Pkt. 40c.
