ROSE-FLOWERED BALSAMS | 
Maule’s Double Superb Strain. 
These balsams are uurivalled for large 
size, perfect form, robust habit and diver- 
Sity of rich and delicate colors. The flowers 
are often two inches across, borne in won- 
derful profusion, and are more uniformly 3 
double than any other strain with which I 
am acquainted. The habit of growth of the 
plants is bushy and branching. Although 
such generous bloomers, they are very shy 
seeders. The range of color includes white, 
rose, yellow, buff, pomegranate red, scarlet, 
crimson, purple, lilac and violet.

Marguerite Carnations. 
Mammoth Flowering. 
This lovely, fragrant strain will pro- 
duce large and handsome flowers in the 
open air the first season from _ seed, 
whereas the greenhouse carnation re- 4 
quires at least six or eight months to 
reach maturity. Marguerites are adapted 
to window and greenhouse culture, but 
their true place is in everybody’s garden, 
ander the same treatment as that be- 
stowed upon annuals. They are beauti- 
ful, extremely sweet, and in every way 
desirable in the dooryard garden, and if 
my customers realized their merit and 
availability, my sales would at once in- 
crease tenfold. The flowers often attain 
a diameter of two or even three inches. 
W hite.—Pure and delicate. 
Rose.—Clear rose pink. 
Scarlet.— Vivid scarlet red. 
Yellow.—Pretty canary yellow.

Chinese and Japanese Varieties Mixed. l 
I particularly recommend the sowing of choice, 
large flowered Chinese and Japanese chrysanthe- 
mums, in suitable situations, for permanent adorn- 
ment of yards, gardens and borders. The plants 
are perennial in character, and if only the choicest 
kinds be saved there will be an autumn bloom 
year after year, that will glorify the landscape long 
\ after all the annual flowers are killed by the frost.
