PETUNIA. Double Extra Large Flowering. 



Manle's Superb Double Extra Large Flowering petunias are without 

 doubt the finest ever offered to the public. For years I have made a 

 specialty of this strain, constantly improving it by selection. The 

 flowers assume greater size and richness as time elapses, and the type 

 ever becomes more desirable. In color, shape, markings and texture 

 it Is all that can be desired. The numerous petals are more or less 

 folded, fringed and shaded, and the result is a flower of unexcelled qual- 

 ity and beauty. The plaut is strong, stocky and vigorous, and foliage 

 pleasing. Packet, 20 cents.; 3 packets, 50 cents 



PETUNIA. Selected Ruffled Giants. 



This is the handsomest petunia In the world, not only on account of 

 its great size, but because of its rich colors and markings and its 

 fringed or notched petals. The great blooms are exquisitely ruffled on 

 the edges. Some flowers are 5 inches across. The tints are rich and 

 varied, embracing purple, yellow, rose, velvety crimson, etc., including 

 much curious veining and penciling. Some flowers are blotched in 

 grotesque ways, usually with dark throats, giving an appearance of 

 depth and substance. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents. 



Panmure Extra Choice Large Flowering 

 Double Mixed. 



Dahlia culture is no small part of the work done at my Pan mure 

 Seed Gardens, in Southern New Jersey. In addition to growing roots 

 of the standard sorts, it is necessary to test all the leading and best 

 Introductions that make their appearance season by season. There are 

 acres of blooming dahlias at Panmure every summer, and the differ- 

 ent flowers make magnificent ribbons or belts of color. Indeed, it is 



doubtful whether there Is a more choice collection of large flowering double dahlias in 

 the world than at Panmure, and it is from these choice specimens that I save seed. Of 

 course, 1 cannot guarantee color or type from seed procured in this way, but can safely 

 remind my friends that high-bred ancestry means high-bred progeny, and can, therefore, 

 recommend this seed without reserve. It is certain to produce beautiful types, perhaps 

 some that will prove rare or now. Packet 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



PHLOX DRUMMONDII. 



Briar Crest 

 Selected Long Blooming. 



Best of all Bedding Plants. 



This splendid race of half-dwarf an- 

 nual phloxes cannot be overpraised for 

 brightness and beauty. The plants are 

 always lavishly covered with large 

 flowers of the most brilliant hues. The 

 flower type is shown in the illustration. 

 Nothing better for bedding purposes is 

 listed in this catalogue. These phloxes 

 are less than a foot high, and are of 

 neat growth. They succeed everywhere, 

 and are in universal favor for summer 

 flowering purposes. They are quite 

 hardy, but are to be treated as annuals. 

 They come into bloom quickly from 

 the seed, and cover a long period, until 

 cut down by frost. The colors include 

 pure white, deep and showy red, rose 

 with white eye and other shades. I sell 

 all the colors in a choice mixture, 

 embracing over fifteen sorts.

 an enormous crop of bloom from the end of June until late in the 

 autumn. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
