MIGNONETTE. Grandiflora, Red Giant. 
This grand novelty, first introduced by us in 1891, is of perfect form, 
growing vigorously, and forming a compact pyramid of elegant appear- 
ance. The flower spikes are of enormous, unequaled size, the single 
blossoms ofan intense red color. The plant attains a height of from 12 
to 16 inches, producing its large spikes of rich red flowers most profuse- 
ly. Itis the result of many years’ careful selection, and is withouta 
doubt the most distinct variety ever offered. PKt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 ets. 
“LITTLE MIDGET”? ROSES. YY 
These little roses belong to the Polyanthas or Japanese many-flowered 4 
section. The roses are only about an inch across, usually very double, 6) Pe 
but occasionally semi-double and seldom single; they are borne in =, 
many-flowered clusters and contain all the tints of cultivated roses. 
What is most remarkable, these “Little Midget’ roses grow only 10: 
inches high and commence blooming a few weeks after the seed is sown. 
‘At first the flowers are isolated, but they group themselves as the plant 3 
advances and continue year after year to bloom in uninterrupted profu- 
sion from May until frost. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
CLEOME PUNGENS. Giant Spider Plant. 
Although this is one of our native annuals, it is but little known. The 
flowers are a deep purplish pink when they first open, but fade to light 
pink so that the lower part of the panicle is a different color from the 
upper. The stamens are several inches long, from which it derives the 
name—spider flower. It is a strong, robast grower, 4 to 5 feet high with 
great panicles of bloom as large as a Hydrangea and unaffected oy wind 
or weather. Seed sown in the open ground in May will flower in July 
and continue in flower uninterruptedly until frost. Pkt., 10c.; 3 pkts., 25¢. 
PHLOX DRUMMONDH. Grandiflora, Monarch. 
This handsome and distinct Phlox produces enormous trusses of 
large pure white flowers, with a deep outer margin of rich, rosy car- 
mine, of strong, compact growth, its wealth of bloom produces a pleas- 
ing effect. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
PHLOX DRUIMONDII. Fimbriata. 
The flower petals of this unique Phlox are partly 
fimbriate, partly three-toothed; the centre teeth are 
almost twice as long as the lateral ones; all dis- 
tinctly bordered with pearly white, which, together 
with the bright eye of the centre, pic- ae 
turesquely contrast with the magnificent 
velvety colors, violet-blue, all shades of 
purple, bright red, etc., comprising many 
splendid and distinct colors. They bloom 
profusely, and for cutting for bouquets are 
unequaled. The plants grow in compact, 
bushy ferm, about 12 to 16 inches high, and 
are one mass of bloom the whole summer. 
Abed of Fimbriata and Star of Quedlin- 
burgh Phlox produces a most striking 
effect. Packet, 10 cts.;3 packets, 2octs. ~

PHLOX DRUMMONDII. Double Yellow. 
Of late years several semi-double flowering 
Phlox Drummondii have been introduced, 
the value of which as cut-flowers will have 
been recognized by those who have tried 
them. The very pretty yellow-fiowering va- 
riety now offered comes true from seed, and 
possesses a slight perfume. In our trial 
grounds at Briar Crest the past summer, this 
distinct new Phlox produced about 95 per 
cent. of double flowers. PkKt., lic.; 2 pkts., 25c. 
PHLOX DRUMIMONDII. Double White. 
A profuse bloomer, and of great value for 
bouquets, as it blooms at a season when 
white flowers are especially desirable. About 
75 per cent. of the seed sown will produce 
double flowers. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts, 25 cts. 
PHLOX DRUIIMONDII. Double Red. 
More compact than the single flowered 
while the trusses and the individual flowers 
are equal in size to those of the dwarf varie- 
ties. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents.

PHLOX DRUMMONDH. Star of 
Quedlinburgh. 
This floral novelty is of an extraordinary 
character. The growth of plants is simi- 
lar in every respect to the Fimbriata, dif- 
fering, however in the distinct shape ofits 
flowers. The pointed centre teeth of the pet- 
als (five in number) as three or four times as 
large as the lateral ones, and project beyond 
them like little spines, making them appear to 
have a star-like form, the effect of which is re- 
. markable. The flowers are of various shades, 
= embracing all the colors to be found in theold va- 
rieties of Phlox, and are excellent either for garden or pot 
culture. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
VERBENA. 
New Mammoth. 
My strain of this beautiful JS 
Verbena is unequaled, flowers §§ 
being of gigantic proportions, as f= 
large as a Silver twenty-five cent 
piece, while elusters of bloom 
Jare enormous. In coloring they 
excel the old varieties of Ver- 
bena, embracing many distinct 
shades and markings, of vigor-f 
ous habit and free bloomers. 
For bedding they are far super- 
fior to the ordinary Verbena, 
and also desirable for pot cul- 
Hture. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. B
