GLORIA DAHLIAS« 
GLORIA DAHLIAS. 
The petals or ray flowers of these novel and 
interesting dahlias are variously formed, in- 
cluding the cactus type, the single or flat type, 
and the incurved or showtype. All the known 
dahlia colors and tints are found in the new 
sort. The Gloria dahlia has been fully tested 
at Panmure with fine results. Seeds planted 
in May bloomed in August. The special merit 
of this new type of dahlia is its so-called gail- 
lardia centre. The disc or centre of the flower 
has been developed in a beautiful manner. 
Mixed colors. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts.

TWO NEW MIGNONETTES. 
LATEST AND BEST. 
BISMARCK. A mignonette bearing red- 
dish colored flowers nearly double the size of the 
popular Machet variety, from which it origi- 
nated. The flowers are pyramidal in shape, 
well colored and highly perfumed. The foliage 
is rich and Slightly crumpled. It is well adapted 
to pot culture. Packet, 10 cts.; 8 packets, 25 cts. 
RED GOLIATH. One of the grandest mig- 
nonettes ever introduced, remarkable alike for 
color, size, fragrance and profusion of bloom. 
The flower spikes are immense, measuring 6 to 
8 inches long by 2 or more inches in diameter. 
The apparently double florets are of a fire-red 
color, half an inch in diameter, and very showy. 
The blossom spikes make a strong contrast 
with the rich, healthy foliage, and the perfume 
of the Red Goliath mignonette is delightful and 
powerful. It is perfect as a cut flower.

IMPERIAL JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 
Imperial Japanese, Double Mixed. 
This is the same rare and curious strain that I have sold for 
some years as partof a mixture. I now separate the double sorts 
from the single sorts. The flowers will not be all double, al- 
though the seed is pure, for there is always a tendency to revert. 
Characterized by peculiar colors, shapes and markings. The 
shades include white, pink, crimson, lilac, etc. Theleaves vary in 
sizeand form. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

Glories advertised above. 
Japanese Kudzu Vine. 
(Jack and the Bean Stalk.) 
An Ornamental and Rapid 
Growing Climber. 
Experience abundantly proves the 
Kudzu Vine to be a highly interesting 
novelty. It comes from Japan, the land 
so productive of curious and ornament- 
al flowers. It is a beautiful climber, 
remarkable for its great vigor of growth 
and its handsome flowers. The 
blossoms are large and in pan- 
icles somewhat like wistaria, 
but larger in size and with 
better clusters. The color is 
of a pleasing shade of purple. 
The foliage is luxuriant, 
somewhat like the leaf of a 
bean. The vine is extremely 
rapid and dense in growth, 
making the Japanese Kudzu 
Vine of great value where a 
quickly produced shade is 
wanted. An eminent horti- 
culturist and prominent land- 
Scape designer has it growing 
over the front of his house, 
and pronounces it a veritable 
“Jack and the Bean Stalk” 
vine. It is perfectly hardy, 
increasing in size and beauty 
year after year. Packet, 10 
cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
