NEW MAMMOTH JAPANESE MORNING GLORY, 



MIKADO. 



▲ new giant type, with peculiar and handsome colors, shapes and markings. The lUustra- 

 SSon shows characteristic ilowers of this noble strain. It Is a development or evolution from 

 the highest form of Japanese Morning Glory, and represents the acme of beauty thus far secured 

 to this graceful and favorite flower. The colors are exceedingly rich, and the texture of the 

 blossom Is thick and heavy, indicative of high breeding. At Briar Crest this wonderful morning 

 f lory freely produces flowers 4 to 5 Inches in diameter. The Japanese do not willingly part with 

 fbelr best morning glories, and this one Is a great prize. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



IMPERIAL JAPANESE MORNING GLORIES. 



Nothing Ceui Elxcel my Two StTciins of Imperial Japanese 

 Morning Glories, and I Recommend Them Cordially. 



DOUBLE MIXED. This is the same rare and curious strain that 

 I have sold for some years as part of a mixture. I now separate the 

 double sorts from the single sorts. The flowers will not be all 

 double, although the seed is pure, for there is always a tendency to 

 revert. Characterized by peculiar colors, shapes and markings. 

 The shades Include white, pink, crimson, lilac, etc. The leaves vary 

 In size and form. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cts. 

 SINGLE MIXED. The same as heretofore ofl'ered, 

 except the double sorts are now listed separately. 

 My single mixed have a wide and truly remarkable 

 range of markings, unexcelled by any other strain. 

 The shades and colors are various — white, pink, lilac, 

 rose, bronze, garnet, crimson, etc. There is leaf var- 

 iation that cannot fail to please. Easy of growth, 

 and quick to come Into bloom. Sometimes the flower 

 comes In 8 weeks from seed. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts. 



THE WONDERFUL 



JAPANESE 

 KUDZU VINE. 



fin Ornamental and Rapid 

 Growing Climber. 



Experience abundantly proves the 

 Kudzu Vine to be a highly interesting 

 novelty. It comes from Japan, the land 

 so productive of curious and ornament- 

 al flowers. It Is a beautiful 

 climber, remarkable for its 

 great vigor of growth and Its 

 handsome flowers. The blos- 

 soms are large and in pan- 

 icles somewhat like wistaria, 

 but larger in size and with 

 better clusters. The color is 

 of a pleasing shade of purple. 

 The foliage is luxuriant, 

 somewhat like the leaf of a 

 bean. The vine Is extremely 

 rapid and dense in growth, 

 making the Japanese Kudzu 

 Vine of great value where a 

 quickly produced shade is 

 wanted. An eminent horti- 

 culturist and prominent land- 

 scape designer has it growing 

 over the front of his house, 

 and pronounces it a veritable 

 "Jack and the Bean Stalk" 

 vine. It is perfectly hardy, 

 increasing in size and beauty 

 year after year. Packet, 10 

 cents; S packets, 25 cents. 



WONLfcR^UL JAPANE6E KjDZU VlNE. 



Mignonette, Bismarck. 



TWO NEW MIGNONETTES. 



LATEST AND BEST. 



RED GOLIATH. One of the grandest mig- 

 nonettes ever introduced, remarkable alike for 

 color, size, fragrance and profusion of bloom. 

 The flower spikes are Immense, measuring 6 to 

 8 Inches long by 2 or more inches In diameter. 

 The apparently double florets are of a fire-red 

 color, half an inch in diameter, and very showy. 

 The blossom spikes make a strong contrast 

 with the rich, healthy foliage, and the perfume 

 of the Red Goliath mignonette is delightful and 

 powerful. It is perfect a<< a cut flower. 



Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents. 



BISMARCK. A mignonette bearing red- 

 dish colored flowers nearly double the size of the 

 papular Machet variety, from which It origi- 

 nated. The flowers are pyramidal in shape, 

 well colored and highly perfumed. The foliage 

 is rich and '-livhtly crumpled. It Is well adapted 

 to pot ( .IPi t I'ackit liiot^ S jiacKeth, J) ( t = . 



GLORIA DAHLIAS. 



The petals or ray flowers of these novel and 

 interesting dahlias are variously formed, in- 

 cluding the cactus type, the single or flat type, 

 and the Incurved or show type. All the known 

 dahlia colors and tints are found in the new 

 sort. The Gloria dahlia has been fully tested 

 at Panmure with fine results. Seeds planted 

 in Mav bloomed in August. The special merit 

 of this new tvpe of dahlia is Its so-called gall- 

 lardla centre. The disc or centre of the flower 

 has been developed in a beautiful manner. 

 Mixed colors. Packet, 10 cts.; 8 packets, 25 cts.
