flULTlFLOF^^ 





MULTIFLORA BOUQUET ASTER. 



One of the most exquisite of all the asters, and especially suited fori 

 pot culture or for a place in the low Ijorder. Extremely dwarf, being 

 only 8 or 9 inches high, but almost smothered with blossoms. The 

 colors are white and pink, the shades blending in a most pleasing 

 manner. Packet, 10 cents; 'i packets, 25 cents. 



'^Sipanese" ChrysanlhcHiums. 



Perennial 



All colors. 

 Finest Mixed. 



Double Ostrich Feather Chrysanthemum. 



Double Ostrich Feather Chrysanthemum. 



This is a tine Japanese strain, producing l.audsome double flowers 

 with highly ornamental petals. The seedling planls will bloom the 

 first season, thu.s enabling the cultivator to pick and choose the most 

 valuable specimens for preservation and permanent culture. I re- 

 coMiniend this strain very highly, but make no positive statements 

 about color or form of tloxver. Packet, '.^O cents. 



All the large flowering chrysanthemums, the glory of autumn, are 

 perennials. Some are single and others double. Some are bettei 

 suited to out of doors culture than others. As a rule, they are hardy. 

 The color range Is almost endless, though red, yellow and white flow- 

 ers predominate. To make flowers of gigantic size it Is necessary to 

 highly stimulate the plant. Care is taken to pinch ott' all super- 

 Uuous branches and buds, and to reduce the growth to a single shoot 

 or stalk and the blooms to one. New forms of chrysanthemums are 

 developed from seed. Seedling plants show great differences in size, 

 shape and color. Desirable sorts are multiplied by cuttings. People 

 who enjoy original work in this Hue will find great pleasure in plant 

 ing my mixture and watching the blooms unfold In the autumn 

 They bloom freely the first year. Many plants the cultivator will care 

 to transfer to the permanent bed or border. There Is no more In 

 tt resting work in the garden than this, and I have only to say that 

 my chrysanthemum seed Is of the choicest strain, with endless pos- 

 sibilities of high merit. Packet, 20 cents.

Petunia, New Hybrids, Mixed. 



j I he seed which I offer under this name is a flue mixture of all the handsomest and best single
