NEW BUTTERFLY PEA. 



" Centrosema Grandiflora." 



695. It is a Iiardy perennial vine of rare and exquisite 

 beauty, which blooms early in June from seed sown in April, 

 and bears in the greatest profusion inverted pea-shaped tlow- 

 ers, from one and one-half to two and one-half inches in 

 diameter, and ranging in color from a rosy violet to a reddish 

 purple, xvith a broad feathered white marking through the 

 centre, while the large buds and back of the flowers are pure 

 white, making it appear as if one plant bore many different 

 colored flowers at one time. Occasionally plants produce 

 pure white flowers, while others are broadly margined with 

 a white feathering. Pkt., lOc; 3 pkts., 25c.

COSMOS. 



Mammoth Perfection Cosmos. 



932. The flowers are double the size of the old large- 

 flowering Cosmos, measuring twelve to fifteen inches in cir- 

 cumference ; the petals are broader and overlapping, forming 

 a perfectly round flower deeply ribbed and of splendid sub- 

 stance. For cutting for bouquets and vases this is one of the 

 finest flowers grown, lasting in water for two weeks; the 

 long stems and feathery foliage lend themselves to graceful 

 arrangements. 



This new Jlammoth strain of Cosmos is the glory of the 

 autumn garden. The plants, five to six feet high, of symmet- 

 rical pyramidal form, are one maas of feathery, emerald green 

 foliage, studded with mammoth flowers of white, pink or 

 crimson, enlivening the garden long after more tender flow- 

 ers have succumbed to early frost. If grown in pots and 

 housed by the end of September they will flower all winter.
