Flower Seed Novelties — 111 



DAHLIAS, GLORIA. 



The petals or ray flowers of these novel and 

 interesting dahlias are variously formed, in- 

 cluding the cactus type, the single or flat type, 

 and the incurved or show type. All the known 

 dahlia colors and tints are found in the new 

 sort. The Gloria dahlia has been fully tested 

 at Panmure with fine results. Seeds planted 

 in May bloomed in August. The special merit 

 of this new type of dahlia is its so-called gail- 

 lardia centre. The disc or centre of the flower 

 has been developed in a beautiful manner. 

 Mixed colors. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 23 cts. 



IMPERIAL JAPANESE 



Mignonette, Bismarck. 



TWO NEW MIGNONETTES. 



LATEST AND BEST. 



BISMARCK. A mignonette bearing red- 

 dish colored flowers nearly double the size of the 

 popular Machet variety, from which it origi- 

 nated. The flowers are pyramidal in shape, 

 well colored and highly perfumed. The foliage 

 is rich and slightly crumpled. It is well adapted 

 to pot culture. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts. 



RED GOLIATH. One of the grandest mig- 

 nonettes ever introduced, remarkable alike for 

 color, size, fragrauce and profusion of bloom. 

 The rtower spikes are immense, measuring t> to 

 8 inches long by 2 or more inches in diameter. 

 The apparently double florets are of a fire-red 

 color, half an inch in diaineter, and very showy. 

 The blossoir spikes make a strong contrast, 

 with the rich, healthy foliage, and the perfume 

 of the Red Goliath mignonette is delightful and 

 powerful. It is perfect as a cut flower. 



Packet, 10 cents; 8 packets, 25 cents. 



New Mammoth Japanese 

 Morning Glory Mikado. 



A new giant type, with peculiar 

 and handsome colors, shapes and 

 markings. It is a development or evo- 

 lution from the highest form of Japan- 

 ese Morning Glory, and represents the 

 acme of beauty thus far secured in 

 this graceful and favorite flower. 

 The colors are exceedingly rich, and 

 the texture of the blossom is thick 

 aud heavy, indicative of high breed- 

 ing. Flowers i to 5 inches across. The 

 Japanese do not willingly part with 

 their best morning glories, and this 

 o.ie is a great prize. 



Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Rochester 

 Morning' Glory. 



A new and magnificent morning 

 glory. The vines make a growth of 

 12 to 20 feet, with leaves 8 to 10 inches 

 i u size. The splendid flowers are 4 to 5 

 inches across, of a deep violet blue, 

 shading to azure and edged with 

 white. Borne in clusters of from three 

 to live, aud are very showy. Packet, 10 cts.; 3 packets, 25 cts. 



Imperial Japanese, Single Mixed. 



My single mixed have a wide and truly remarkable range 

 of markings, unexcelled by any other strain. The shades 

 and colors are various — white, pink, lilac, rose, bronze, gar- 

 net, crimson, etc. There is leaf variation that cannot fail to 

 please. Easy of growth, and quick to come into bloom. 

 Sometimes the flower comes in 3 weeks from seed. 

 Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cen 



Imperii! Ja*p&.nese, Double Mixed. 



This is the same rare and curious strain that I have sold 

 for some years as part of a mixture. I now separate the 

 double sorts from the single 



sorts. The flowers will not be all Imperial Japanese Morning Glories. 

 double, although the seed is pure, for there is always a tendency to 

 revert. Characterized by peculiar colors, shapes and markings. 

 The shades include white, pink, crimson, lilac, etc. The leaves 

 vary in size and form. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Pigmy Morning Glory. 



A superior type, growing in compact, bushy form, 

 from 8 to 12 inches high. Flowers are produced so 

 "reely that at times the plant is almost hidden by 

 the blossoms. Recommended for pot culture and 

 for outdoor planting as a border plant. The runners 

 will have to be pinched back to about 6 inches; this 

 will induce a sturdy, upright growth and the plant 

 will flower more profusely. Easy to grow and very 

 showy. The flowers are of good size and texture 

 and of most all the colors known among morning 

 glories. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



Japanese Kudzu Vine. 



(Jack and the Bean Stalk.) 



An Ornamental and Rapid 



Growing Climber. 



Experience abundantly proves the 

 Kudzu Vine to be a highly interesting 

 novelty. It comes from Japan, the land 

 so productive of curious and ornament- 

 al flowers. It is a beautiful climber, 

 remarkable for its great vigor of growth 

 and its handsome flowers. The 

 blossoms are large and in pan- 

 icles somewhat like wistaria, 

 but larger in size and with 

 better clusters. The color is 

 of a pleasing shade of purple. 

 The foliage is luxuriant, 

 somewhat like the leaf of a 

 bean. The vine is extremely 

 rapid and dense in growth, 

 making the Japanese Kudzu 

 Vine of great value where a 

 quickly produced shade is 

 wanted. An eminent horti- 

 culturist and prominent land- 

 scape designer has it growing 

 over the front of his house, 

 and pronounces it a veritable 

 "Jack and the Bean Stalk" 

 vine. It is perfectly hardy, 

 increasing in size and beauty 

 year after year. 

 Japanese Kudzu Vine. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.
