CANDYTUFT. Snow Queen. 
POPPY. New Double Peony Flowered ‘‘Fireball.’’ 
Many new and over-exaggerated Poppies have been lately introduced, but I think that the 
Fireball will be pronounced the most distinct and handsome introduction in years. The flow- 
ers are of enormous size, perfectly double, resembling a Peony, and of a rich glowing dark fj 
crimson. The blooms are very solid, and do not fall as readily as most sorts; and in this 
respect are very desirable for cutting, a vase of these cut flowers being extremely gorgeous and 
Bhowy. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
STOCKS. New Large Flowering Pyramidal ‘‘Azure Queen.’’ 
In presenting this very handsome and distinct Large Flowering Stocks, I feel confident 
that in doing so I introduce a variety without an equal. Produces long pyramidal spikes of 
beautiful perfectly double flowers of a rich lavender color, changing to azure blue, which give | 
out a rich, spicy fragrance not attained in any other variety. .As a bedder, cannot be sur-| 
passed and is equally desirable as a pot plant. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
STOCKS. Globe Pyramidal. 
In the new large flowering Globe Pyramidal Stocks, I have the most magnificent 
race yet perfected. Both the spikes and flowers are very large, the individual blooms 
frequently measuring from two to two and one-half j 
inches in diameter. The large double and perfect flowers 
are produced in great profusion, the spikes being com- 
pactily pyramidal in shape, and the plants of neat habit 
of growth. I offer the Globe Pyramidal Stocks ina very 
fine mixture of twenty beautiful and distinct shades and 
colors. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
CAMPANULA. Cup and Saucer. 
A new, entirely distinct and exceedingly beautiful va- 
riety of Canterbury Bells, and is quite an acquisition to this 
class of hardy perennials, which are at present receiving a 
great deal of attention, both at home and abroad. The 
bell or trumpet of the flower is quite three inches in 
diameter, presenting the form of a cup and saucer, as 
shown in illustration below. Colors are blue, rose, lilac 
and white, and also includes the new striped 
sorts, which are entirely new and _ distinct, 
and as yet very scarce and expensive. The 
plants are of strong growth, and their beauti- 
ful blooms almost completely hide the foliage 
from view. Notone of my customers should 
failto plant this new Campanula. Packet, 10 
cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

IPOMGEA GRANDIFLORA.

Ipomoeas. 
IPOMCGEA GRANDIFLORA.. 
(Giant White Moon-flower.) 
> One of the grandest of annual 
climbers, and far superior in every 
way to the common Moon-flower, 
the flowers being much larger—5 to 
6 inches across—of more substance 
and pure white. The buds open late 
in the afternoon, remaining open 
until close on to noon the next day, 
and if cloudy will remain open all 
day long. The vines make a rapid 
growth, branching and climbing 25 
feet or more; a single plant often 
having from 20 to 40 of its magnifi- 
cent flowers open at one time. Flow- 
ers vary in form on different plants, 
some being scalloped, others round, 
others star-shaped; foliage varies to 
oak leaved and star-shaped form, 
adding charm and interest to this 
great climber. Packet, 10 cents; 
3 packets, 25 cents. 
IPOMGEA SETOSA. 
PYRAMIDAL New Brazilian Morning Glory. 
STOCKS. To the genus Ipomcea we are in- 
debted for some of the most magnifi- 
! cent of climbing plants. One of the 
i most ornamental and finest of these 
is this New Brazilian Morning Glory, which is entirely distinct from the 
common Morning Glory. An annual, climbing 30 to 50 feet. The vines 
branch and climb in all directions, one vine soon covering a tree, arbor 
or building. Its leaves are like those of the Grape in form and of immense 
size, often a foot across in rich soil. The flowers, which open in the 
morning, are 3 inches or more across, of a beautiful rose color, and are 
borne in large clusters very freely from July to frost. Every part of the 
vine is thickly covered with short reddish hairs which, with its immense 
leaves and iarge clusters of curious seed capsules render it highly orna- 
mental. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 
IPOMGEA. Heavenly Blue. 
The foliage of this new Ipomeea is very large, heart shaped, thick, and 
of a light green color. The flowers are in large, airy clusters, andof that 2
