Flower Seeds — lOS 



Floral Novelties. 



My trial grounds In Pennsylvania and New Jersey have 

 been actively engaged the past year, not only in the jiroduc- 

 tlon of choice seeds of flowers and vegetables, but in the 

 selection of new forms of value from the many novelties 

 put on the American and European markets. On this page 

 are listed some of the newest llowers, and on 

 subsequent pages I offer everything of merit. 



Please remember thiit for 2'> cents a customer 

 may select any six 5-cent packets or any three 10- 

 cent packets of flower seeds.

Panmure Dahlias. 



Extra Choice Large Flowering Double Mixed. 



Dahlia culture Is no small part of the work done at my Panmure Seed Gardens, in Southern IS 

 Jersey. In addition to growing and multiplying roots of the standard sorts, it is necessarj to test 

 all the leading and best Introductions tliat make their appearance season by season. There die 

 acres of blooming dahlias at Panmure every summer, and the different flowers make magnificent 

 ribbons or belts of color. There are all shades of scarlet, crimson, purple, maroon, plum, coral, apri- 

 cot, rose, pink, yellow, butf, white, etc., and the floral types are large and full. Indeed, it Is doubtful 

 whether there is a more choice collection of large flowering double dahlias in the world than at 

 Panmure, and It is from these choice specimens that I save seed. Of course, I cannot guai- 

 antee color or type from seed procured in this way, but can safely remind my friends that high bied 

 ancestry means high-bred progeny, and can, therefore, recommend this seed without reserve It is 

 certain to produce beautiful types, perhaps some that will prove raie or new. Packet 15 cents 



New Crimson Flow^ered 

 Eschscholtzia. 



California Poppy. An absolutely new 

 form of this popular flower, developed 

 by Mr. Luther Burbank, by nine years 

 ol careful selection. So many of my 

 customers have come to know and love 

 the bright, cheerful, free-flowering yel- 

 low eschschoUzia, that I am sure this 

 new and brilliant crimson novelty will 

 be welcome everywhere. The color of 

 the flower contrasts in a charming man- 

 ner with the finely cut, light green foli- 

 age, and I consider It one of the pret- 

 tiest Introductions among bedding an- 

 nuals in recent years. One foot high. 

 Packet, 10 cents. 



IVew Double While Bellllower. 



{Campanula moerheimi.) 



A variety of the form known as Peach 

 Bells. It is a magnificent perennial, 

 perfectly hardy, and will be welcomed 

 by all lovers of its class. It grows about 

 2 feet high, and in June and July bears 

 showy spikes of large, double, pure 

 white flowers. The bloom is very strik- 

 ing in appearance, making it one of the 

 most beautiful of the bellttowers. It 

 comes true from seed, and is worthy of 

 general culture. The plant is unex- 

 celled for the hardy perennial border, 

 and the spikes cannot be surpassed for 

 cut flowers. Packet, 15 cents.

New Giant Sweet Sultans. 



New Giant Sweet 



Centaurea imperia 



While this new 

 form of Sweet Sultans may be 

 nothing more nor less than a 

 very large type of what I have 

 been selling for years, still 

 there are some florists who 

 claim that it Is a totally novel 

 and distinct strain. It certain- 

 ly out-classes its predecessors in size of plant 

 and boldness of flower. The plant attains a 

 height of 4 or 5 feet. The immense white, fra- 

 grant blossoms are borne on stems sometimes 

 2 feet long. They make magnificent cut flow- 

 ers, lasting for several davs in water

 profusion of bloom. Packet 10 cents.

The best of the ageratums for edging pur-

 autumn. This is the best of the Tom Thumb
