NEW CARNATION— GIANTS OF NICE 



CREAM CUP 



(PLATTSTEMON CAXFTOKNICUS) 



No. 2398. This delicate, poppy-like plant, 

 which blooms very early and abundantly, is 

 destined to become one of the most popular 

 of annuals. In color the flowers range through 

 all the tints from white to light cream and shades 

 of yellow. In height they range from six to 

 twelve inches, and the seed should be sown 

 where it is to bloom, as they do not bear trans- 

 planting. Price, per pkt., 15c; 4 pkts., 50c. 



Two New Annual Chrysan- 

 themums 



"GOLDEN WHEEL" 



No. 705. This striking novelty is a very free 

 blooming annual. The flowers assume a peculiar 

 form, the quill-shaped golden yellow petals stand- 

 ing out all around the purple disk in the centre, 

 like the spokes of a wheel. Very desirable for 

 cutting, lasting a long time. Pkt., 10c. 



» EVENING STAR" 



No. 706. These pure golden yellow flowers 

 are often three to four inches across, and, after 

 cutting, last a long time in water. They are very 

 beautiful and make a valuable addition to our list 

 of choice annuals for cut flowers. Pkt., 10c.

Double Flowers 



No. 655. New Carnation 



GIANTS OF NICE 



A new giant strain of 

 perpetual carnations, in- 

 troduced by a celebrated 

 French specialist. It is 

 unquestionably the finest 

 of the perpetual class, 

 attaining an immense size 

 and beginning to bloom 

 almost as early as the 

 Carnation Marguerite and 

 producing nearly 100 per 

 cent, double flowers with 

 a large percentage of 

 yellows. They are profuse 

 bloomers, deliciously 

 fragrant and contain a 

 magnificent variety of 

 colors and markings. As 

 the flowers last a long 

 time after being cut, they 

 will be found equally 

 valuable to the florist and 

 private gardener for open 

 ground or pot culture. 

 Pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c.
