DOUBLE ROSE-FLOWERED BALSAHS. 



It gives me pleasure to offer my friends and cus- 

 tomers a strain of Double Balsams, that for large 

 size, perfect form, robust habit and diversity of rich 

 and delicate colors, stand unrivaled. The individ- 

 ual flowers measure over 2 inches across, perfectly 

 double and borne in the most wonderful profusion. 

 On my trial grounds at Briar Crest the past sum- 

 mer, the Double Rose Flowered produced more per- 

 rect double blooms than any other strain of Bal- 

 sams tested, and I had many strains, collected both 

 from home and foreign growers. Although the 

 compact, bushy, branching plants are literally cov- 

 ered with bloom the whole summer long, yet they 

 produce but little seed, mauy plants yielding no 

 seed at all, so that unless the strain be allowed to 

 deteriorate, seed of the Double Rose Flowered Bal- 

 sams must necessarily always be scarce and high 

 priced. I ofl'er twelve distinct varieties of this un- 

 approachable strain. 



White. 



White tinged A^Tlth Rose 



Pale Yellow. 



Flesh Color. 



Rosy Buff. 



Rose. 



MIQNONETTE. Giant White Spiral. 



Grows two or three feet high, perfectly erect, and spikes of bloom have 

 been seen measuring ten inches. Its color is pure snow white. Blooms pro- 

 fusely all season, producing twice as many flowers as any other variety. 

 Packet, 5 cents. 



MARGUERITE CARNATION. 



Many new, exceedingly valuable and beautiful novelties In flower seeds 

 have lately been introduced, but I feel confident that none of them can excel 

 the beautiful Marguerite Carnation. In the first place, any one growing 

 these beautiful Carnations can secure the greatest possible perfection with the 

 most ordinary care. In the the second place, it is hardly possible that they 

 will ever be excelled as to size of flowers. But above all, they will bloom with- 

 in 4 months after sowing the seed. The vigorous stalks grow usually 6 to 8 

 Inches high, the buds and flowers, much crowded together, forming many 

 large tufts The flowers are of brilliant colors, ranging through all shades of 

 red, pink, yellow and white, many handsomely variegated, and are alwaj-s, as 

 stated above, of enornious size. They are most valuable for pot culture, bed- 

 ding, groups and borders; and any one in want of fine flowering plants is of- 

 fered in the beautiful Marguerite Carnations, a new race that cannot be ex- 

 celled, all the more remarkable in the fact that they can be planted at any 

 season of the year and ^viU bloom In fonr months after soy^lng tbe 

 seed. .Sown about May Ihjt in the open ground they require but little diflerent 

 cultivation, other than that given to the ordinary annual.
