New Giant Spider Flower. 



Begonia Gracilis 

 Prima Donna. 



1564 This may be briefly described as 

 a perfected, ideal form of the 

 popular pink B. gracilis. The 

 flowers are much larger, of a 

 limpid rose, shading to carmine 

 at the centre; a color of exqui- 

 site beauty; habit of plant per- 

 fect and very free-flowering. 

 25 cts. per pkt. 



Begonia 



Semperflorens 



" Salmon Queen." 



1577 We had the pleasure of seeing 

 this beautiful variety in flower 

 at the introducer's, and were 

 much impressed by the bright- 

 ness of its brilliant salmon-rose 

 flowers. All the varieties of 

 this free-flowering, easily grown 

 Begonia are worth growing 

 either for bedding or for pot 

 culture, and this, the brightest-colored of them all, is 

 especially desirable. 20 cts. per pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



DOUBLE-QUILLED ENGLISH 

 DAISY. 



(Bellis perennis tubulosa fl. pi. ) 



3598 It has taken years of careful selection to produce this 

 densely double-quilled type, which reproduces itself 

 almost true from seed. The colors include white, 

 pink, blood-red and other shades of red, and are a 

 desirable addition to this pretty spring-flowering 

 plant. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



INVINCIBLE GIANT COWSLIP 



2112 Quite distinct bom the ordinary Cowslip both in the 

 Stronger growth of the plant and in the massive flow- 

 ers, which are borne on stout stems 12 to 15 inches 

 high. A bed of these in early spring presents a sight 

 which commands the admiration of every lover of 

 beautiful flowers. The colors range from pure yellow 

 and orange to the deepest scarlet and crimson. 25 

 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for §1.00. 



DOUBLE BLUE CORNFLOWER. 



(Centaurea Cyanus fl. pL) 

 1881 This was introduced by us in 1907, and is now a standard 

 variety and largely used by the commercial florist, who 

 quickly recognized its value as a cut flower. It is identical 

 in color to the popular single blue variety, which is so 

 much in demand for cutting, especially for buttonieres, 

 but, being a full, double flower, it takes fewer of them to 

 make a nice bunch, and is better in every way. 15 cts. 

 per pkt.; \ oz., 50 cts. 



NEW GIANT SPIDER FLOWER. 



Cleome Gigantea. ) 

 2002 We tested this in our trial grounds last summer, where it 

 proved to be the finest Cleome which we had ever seen. 

 The plant attained a height of 3-V feet, well branched, each 

 branch terminated by a large head of bright rosy-crimson 

 flowers, and far superior in size and coloring to all others. 

 It makes a striking subject for large bedstor for interspers- 

 ing in the mixed flower or shrubbery border. Seed should 

 be sown in the open ground as 

 soon as the weather is warm and 

 settled, and the plants given suffi- 

 cient room to develop their full 

 beauty. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts., 

 25 cts.

 "LADY LENOX." 



2084 This, the latest development in this

 tic flowers, with wide, overlapping

 ing a perfectly circular flower, which

 6 to 7 feet high. 10 cts. per pkt.;
