GIANT WHITE MOONFLOWER. 
New Lobelia. 
BELLE DE MORAY. 
This is a very desirable novelty of 
dwarf, compact growth, especially 
adapted to ribbon gardening and 
landscape work; very effective. The 
flower is dark blue, with a distinct 
white eye, and the plant is completely 
studded with blooms. Height about 
6 inches; flowers borne well above 
the leaves. Available for window 
gardening purposes, and one of the 
prettiest of the lobelias. Packet, 5c. 
Yellow Larkspur. ZALIL. 
A distinct and very showy hardy 
perennial yellow larkspur. Its dark 
green and finely cut leaves cover the 
lower part of the plant. The several 
branches or flower spikes are 8 to 10 
inches in length. The flowers are of 
a most lovely and delicate shade 
of sulphur yellow, the color of a 
Marechal Neil rose, and are both 
beautiful and effective. This Lark- 
spur contrasts nicely with the blue 
varieties, and deserves public favor. 
Packet, 10 cts.; 8 packets, 25 cts. 



























Royal Heliotropes. 
LEMOINE’S GIANT HYBRIDS. One of the 
most superb strains known among heliotropes; bearing 
flowers of immense size and of richest beauty and frag- 
rance. The colors range through all the shades of blue, 
from violet to indigo. The paler forms are nearly 
white, but are as sweet as the darker ones. The great 
trusses or floral heads are sometimes a foot across, and 
are magnificent in appearance. The plants grow about 
two feet high, and the foliage is peculiarly rich, glossy 
and attractive. These Lemoine Hybrid Heliotropes are 
in wide favor, both for open air culture and for window 
gardening. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Bouquet Parfum. “The perfume of the bouquet.” 
An entirely new heliotrope, with dark lilac flowers. The 
large heads or trusses of flowers literally cover the whole 
plant, and present an attractive mass of bloom. The 
plant itself is of dwarf, compact habit of growth. Color, 
fragrance and free-blooming habit are the main recom- 
mendations of this most desirable new heliotrope, and 1 
am glad to be able to offer it. I consider it unusual in 
these points named. Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts. 
Allegheny Hollyhock 
MAMMOTH FRINGED. 
This class increases in popularity year by year. The 
Allegheny hollyhock is different from the older forms 
and is greatly superior tothem. The height is about the 
same, but the abundant flowers, which are 3 to 5 inches 
in diameter, and eitner double or half double, are so 
finely fringed, cut and curled as to suggest the bloom of 
some new species of plant. The colors are pink, rose 
and ruby red, darkest at the centre. The blooming sea- 
son is a long one, and the plants are aS conspicuous as 
they are beautiful. They are perfectly hardy and will 
thrive anywhere. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
