DIANTHUS. Pinks. 
FIVE BEAUTIFUL TYPES. 
This season I offer five pinks of peculiar 
attractiveness. Allare to be treated as annuals, 
although they are quite hardy. They are 
adapted to pot culture and to growth in open 
borders, and cannot be excelled for beauty and 
utility. They are free bloomers, and among 
the most popular of garden plants. Flowers 
often 2 and sometimes 8 or even 4 inches across. 
Eastern Queen. Single annual. SBeauti- 
fully marbled. Broad bands of: mauve on a 
paler surface, making the flower exceedingly 
Striking and pretty. Pkt., 10 cts.;3 pkts., 25 cts. 
Crimson Belle. Single annual. A_ rich 
crimson dianthus of large size and good sub- 
stance, evenly and finely fringed. One of the 
most attractive and showy of all. Packet, 
10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Salmon Queen. Single annual, with large, 
well-formed, fringed flowers of a _ brilliant 
salmon color. Flowers change to a salmon 
rose when fading. A variety quite distinct 
from all other sorts, and of exceeding merit. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
White Frills.—Single flowered, with bloom 
of pure, dazzling white, 244 inches across. 
The petals are so deeply laciniated or fringed 
that the flowers appear double, and the effect 
is wonderfully beautiful. A dianthus of re- 
markable purity. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 
Mourning Cloak.—A double dianthus of so 
dark a maroon as to be almost black. Every 
petal is faintly bordered with white, wholly 
relieving the flower of a sombre appearance. 
The size is about 244 inches, and the texture is 
extremely rich. tt is very high bred, and 
cannot fail to command attention wherever 
grown. 
Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts.

New Dwarf Large-Flowered Schizanthus 
or Butterfly Flower. 
Hybridus Grandifiorus. A most valuable 
strain of schizanthus, forming pyramidal 
plants only about a foot high, bearing count- 
less butterfly-like flowers in a _ bewildering 
range of color. Flowers larger than in the 
ordinary type of schizanthus. Seeds may be 
sown in the open ground in spring, where the 
plants are to remain, or started indoors and 
set out upon the arrival of mild weather. 
Autumn sown seeds make fine window plants 
for winter bloom. This new dwarf, large- 
flowered schizanthus is a most attractive and 
valuable addition to the flower garden, and 
cannot fail to give great satisfaction under fair 
treatment and conditions. The schizanthus 
has been called “the poor man’s orchid;’’ on 
account of its graceful and attractive shape. 
It is of easy culture and enjoys a very wide 
popularity. All who know the flower should 
make a trial of this handsome new strain. 
Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

olichos. 
This season I offer for the first ime a bush 
form of the well-known Daylight Dolichos, 
with the same enormous spikes of pure white 
flowers, but without the climbing or trailing 
habit of growth. In its young State this plant 
resembles a bush bean, and has much the same 
cultural requirements, but upon the arrival of 
the blooming season the peculiarly charming 
flower stalks are raised above the foliage, and 
the true character of the plant becomes appar- 
ent. The flowers resemble the sweet pea in 
shape, and are about 1 inch in diameter. By 
the time the topmost blossoms have appeared 
pods of ornamental appearance. These pods 
are 2 inches long by an inch wide, and har- 
monize well with the flowers. The habit of 
growth is compact and ornamental; plant less 
| the climbing form. 
the lower ones are succeeded by creamy white | 
than a foot high; flower stalks a foot above the | 
foliage. The bush dolichos blooms earlier than |

OF COSMOS. 
New Early-Blooming 
Giant Fancy 
COSMOS. 
_In this strain, which has been selected 
and re-selected with great care and pains, 
will be found the finest forms of cosmos 
thus far developed. It is a noble mix- 
ture or collection of large-flowered forms, 
embracing all colors, such as white, pink, 
erimson, white tinted rose, ete. The great 
flowers, borne in abundance on long and 
graceful stems, are Sometimes 4 or more 
inches across. Some blooms are shaped 
like camellias and some like single 
dahlias, with petals variously cut and 
fringed. Certain of the fringed forms 
resemble California poppies, with broad 
petals (ray flowers) of great elegance and 
beauty. For best results this magnificent 
type of cosmos should be started very 
early, as it requires a long season for full 
development. If sown under glass or in 
the window box it will bloom in early 
autumn, and the gorgeous flowers will 
continue long after the advent of light 
frosts. No cut flower is more beautiful 
or graceful than this type of cosmos. 
All shades are included. Packet, 10 cents; 
3 packets, 20 cents; ounce, 50 cents.

DAYLIGHT DOLICHOs. 
Daylight Dolichos. 
Daylight is one of the newest and best forms 
of this useful and beautiful climbing vine. 
There are other forms of climbing dolichos, 
but none so handsome as this one, with its 
bold spikes of pure white flowers. The height 
is 8 to 10 feet, and it has the blooming habit 
well developed, the flowers appearing from 
base to summit. The bean-like foliage is rich 
and attractive. The flowers, which resemble 
sweet peas in shape, are succeeded by broad, 
velvety. creamy-white pods, which remain 
fresh and ornamental for a considerable time. 
This climber is an excellent one for trellises 
and fences, and may be used on rock work. It 
requires the same care and treatment as a pole 
bean, and will prove highly satisfactory in 
almost any situation or exposure, if given good 
soil. It is widely and deservedly popular. 
Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents.
