 nonette is the finest yellow flower variety that has

 we advise all our friends to trj'. The flowers are

New Ipomoea, Heavenly Blue 



No. 1665. This beautiful Ipomo3a is of Mexi- 

 can origin, and it is difficult to exaggerate its 

 beauty. Its numerous flowers are three inches or 

 more across, of a very brilliant azure blue, passing 

 insensibly to a rosy violet, with a light-colored 

 throat. Price, per pkt., 10c. 



New Dwarf Star Phlox, 

 Radiata 



No. 2368. The petals unite in the form of a 

 small five or six-pointed star, quite unique in its 

 appearance and of a peculiar charm. The plants 

 are distinct in growth, being even dwarfer and more 

 floriferous than any of the dwarf varieties ; they 

 form sturdy miniature bushes literally covered with 

 blooms which retain their beauty for a very long 

 period. The flowers are carmine red with two 

 white stripes on each petal, a very pleasing tint 

 which shows oS" their novel shape to particular 

 advantage. Price, per pkt., 10c. 



Stokesia Cyanea 



(The Cornflower or Stokes' Aster) 

 No. 2655. This is one of our most charming 

 and beautiful native hardy plants. The plant grows 

 from 18 to 24 inches high, bearing freely, from 

 early July until frost, its handsome lavender-blue 

 Centaurea-like blossoms, each measuring from 4 to 

 5 inches across. It is one of the easiest culture, 

 succeeding in any open sunny position, and is not 

 only desirable as a single plant in the mixed hardy 

 border, but can be used with fine eflect in masses 

 or beds of any size. Like many other native plants 

 which are neglected at home, this is grown in con- 

 siderable quantities in Europe to supply the de- 

 mand for blue cut flowers in the Autumn. Seed : 

 per pkt, lOc; plants, each, 15c.; per doz., $1.50.
