One of the newest hardy annuals. The plant is laden 
with flowers, from base to summit, literally ablaze with ( 
handsome carmine red blossoms, which remain open ( 
all day and produce a startlingly beautiful effect. « 
hardiness and character of producing flowers continu- 
ously recommend it. Starts to flower in May. Pkt., l5c. 
BEGONIA, Erecta Cristata. Mixed. 
Flowers single, of good size, and extremely varied in 
color, some beautiful and rare shades of copper red 
being found among them. The remarkable feature, 
however, of this startling freak of nature is that on 
each petal a curious crest or beard is attached which 
gives the flower a puzzling aspect. Packet, 15 cents. 
NEW VERBENA, Burbank’s Mayflower. 
Mr. Burbank has developed in his new variety a 7 
strain in which the flowers are of extraordinary size, 
and decidedly more fragrant than any other sort. 
It is equally desirable for bedding purposes, while its 
fragrance gives additional value to the flowers when 
cut for bouquets or table decoration. Highly recom-

New VERBENA, BURBANK’S MAYFLOWER. 
ARCTOTIS GRANDIS. 
A charming new daisy-like plant 
from Southwestern Africa, attain- 
ing a height of 2to38 feet, and the 
same breadth. It is to be treated as 
an annual. The foliage is soft and 
downy, and of a whitish color. The 
flowers are 2% to 3 inches in diame- 
ter, borne on long stems, and freely 
produced from early summer until 
autumn, The ray flowers or petals 
are pure white on the upper sur- 
face, with a narrow zone of yellow 
at the base. The reverse or lower 
side of the petal is a pale lilac blue. 
The dise or centre of the flower is 
light blue, with slightly projecting 
white stamens, producing a charm- 
ing and uniqte effect. The plant is 
of easy culture and flourishes well 
in its new home; It is a good cut 
fiower and will last in water for 
several days, and I commend it to 
those of my friends who wish to 
keep up with the latest and most 
valuable of the floral novelties.

make a grand showing in bright 




sunlight, and the plant is very 
bandsome. Packet, 10 cents.

large size and splendid quality, of purest white

PINK PRINCESS. This new pink snap- 
dragon is one of the best and prettiest, and I 
list it on account of its exceeding high merit. 
It is of medium height, and forms a pretty, 
compact plant with numerous flower stalks 
uous, but its main charm is the exquisite 
beauty of its clear pink color. It is one of the 
best for bouquet making, and will certainly 
make mapy friends. Packet, 10 cents. 
New BeGONIA, QUEEN ANNA. 
Queen Anna Begonia. 
A fibrous-rooted begonia, noted for 
freedom of bloom. Adapted to open 
air culture or to the winter window 
garden. The habit of growth is 
bushy and strong, yet very com- 
pact; and every branch produces 
tlowers in a most lavish and satis- 
factory manner. The pink flowers 
are an inch or more across, with 
bright yellow stamens in the centre 
of each, and nothing could excel 
the soft, pleasing effect. The stems 
and green leaves are Smooth and 
waxy, contrasting beautifully with 
; the ever present flowers. The leaf 
edges and the stems carry pink or 
reddish shades, and there is a pleas- 
ing color harmony throughout the 
entire plant. My notes taken in 
Europe, on the originator’s prem- 
ises, Speak very highly of the new 
variety. Packet, 10 cents. 
$1.00 buys $1.80 worth, $2.00 
buys $2.76 worth of 
packets and ounces of 
vegetable and flower seeds.
