DIANTHUS "ROYAL PINK." 



" ROYAL PINK." (Dianihus Heddewigi Nobili^.)

 iringEd, giving the large' flower a graceful and light appear- 

 ance. The colors are, first of all, of a deep yet very bright 

 blood red, then shade to carmine and pink and even white. 

 The foliage is grayish blue, sometimes darker. The plant 

 grows vigorously and tall, and gives lots of first-class cut

 The more the blooms are cut, the more the plant will pro- 

 duce. Per pkt., 10c.

Giant Shasta Daisy 



The Shasta Daisy is one of the most marvelous produc- 

 tions in the flower line that has ever been brought to the 

 notice of floriculturists. It is the first of a new type, which 

 has been obtained by first combining the free-flowering 

 American species with tlie large but coarse European species 

 and the Japanese species, Nipponicum, after which, rigid 

 selection through a series of years has produced the present 

 wonderfully beautiful and useful strain. Its first qualifica- 

 tion is hardiness ; it can be grown out of doors by anybody 

 where it is not cold enough to kill oak trees. It is i)erennial, 

 blooming better and more abundantly each season. It can 

 be multiplied rapidly by simple division, and it is not par- 

 ticular as to soil, and it blooms for several months. The 

 flowers are extremely large and graceful, averaging about 4 

 to 5 inches in diameter. Packet, 15c. 



NEW GI.4NT PANSY "PRETOSIA 



EDELWEISS. 



THE GENUINE EDELWEISS 



or Sunflower of Switzerland 



No. 1190. There is a world of poetry connected with this 

 charming flower, to obtain which many travelers have sacri- 

 ficed their lives. It blooms right through the snow, and 

 when cut lasts for years. The flowers are rare and beauti- 

 ful, as white as snow and as soft as velvet, growing some- 

 times 30 on one plant, with grayish-white foliage in spread- 

 ing rosette. Naturally as hardy as a rock, they grow in any 

 way, on sandy moist soil, gritty and well drained, or on 

 raised rockwork, and even as a border plant, in chalky open 

 soil. Lasting for years in beaut>', it will certainly prove a 

 wonderful attraction. Price, per pkt., 20c.
