MIGNONETTE. Grandiflora, Red Giant. 
This grand novelty, first introduced by us in 1891, is of perfect form, 
growing vigorously, and forming a compact pyramid of elegant appear- 
ance. 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 profuse- 
ly. Itis the result of many years’ careful selection, and is withouta 
. doubt the most distinct variety ever offered. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 
CUT AND COME AGAIN STOCKS—Princess Alice. 
This distinct pure white Stocks grows about 2 feet high, and if sown 
early will produce an abundance of bloom. from spring until late in the 
fall. Phe advantage of this variety over all others is its tendency to 
throw out endless numbers of side branches, each bearing a cluster of: 
beautifully shaped, perfectly double and delightfully fragrant pure whiteé 
flowers. The plant seems to delight in having the blooms cut, for noz 
sooner are they robbed of their side branches than they begin to produce ¢ 
as many more, hence its name (Cut and Come Again). They also produce 
a large top cluster of handsome florets. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts. 
CLEOME PUNGENS. 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. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25¢. 
PHLOX DRUMMONDII. Grandifiora, Monarch. 
This handsome and distinct Phlox produces enormous trusses of 
large pure white flowers, with a deep outer margin of rich, rosy car- 
mine, of strong, compact growth, its wealth of bloom produces a pleas- 
ing effect. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
PHLOX DRUIMONDI. Fimbriata. 
The fiower petals of this unique Phlox are partly 
fimbriate, partly three-toothed; the centre teeth are \ 
almost twice as long as the lateral ones; all dis- 
tinctly bordered with pearly white, which, together 
with the bright eye of the centre, pic- / 
turesquely contrast with the magnificent i 
velvety colors, violet-blue, all shades of 
purple, bright red, etc., comprising many 
splendid and distinct colors. They bloom 
profusely, and for cutting for bouquets are 
unequaled. The plants grow in compact, 
bushy form, about 12 to 16 inches high, and 
are one mass of bloom the whole summer,

Phlox Drummondii have been introduced, 
the value of which as cut-flowers will have 
been recognized by those who have tried 
them. The very pretty yellow-flowering va- 
riety now offered comes true from seed, and 
possesses a slight perfume. In our trial 
grounds at Briar Crest the past summer, this

This floral novelty is of an extraordinary 
character. The growth of plants is simi- 
lar in every respect to the Fimbriata, dif- 
fering, however in the distinct shape ofits 
flowers. The pointed centre teeth of the pet- 
als (five in number) are threeor four times as 
large as the lateral ones, and project beyond 
them like little spines, making them appear to 
have a star-like form, the effect of which is re- 
markable. The flowers are of various shades,
