PRI.^ULA MALACOIDES. 



3826 An introductioa from China that has proved itself to be one of the 

 freest flowering species for pots yet introduced. Seeds sown in 

 February produce plants that will bloom from May till July, while 

 by sowing in August it can be had in flower throughout the winter 

 months. It resembles P. Forbesi, but is of somewhat stronger 

 growth. Flowers are a delicate shade of lilac. A fine window or 

 greenhouse plant. 25 cts. per pkt. 



PRIMULA MALACOIDES ALBA. 



3827 A pure white variety of the preceding, and similar in its general 

 habit, and having all the free and quick-flowering qualities of its 

 parent. 25 cts. per pkt. 



Pyrethrum Ulig^mosum Stellata. 



(Starry Giant Daisy.) 



3851 This new variety which originated in our Nursery, and of which 

 we have sold a large number in plant form, we are now able to 

 offer in seed of our own saving. It is a greatly improved form of 

 the Giant Daisy, the difference being clearly shown in the illustra- 

 tion, and, like its parent, has flowers of glistening white, but fully 

 one-half larger, with long, narrow petals, forming a much more 

 graceful and refined flower. The best and most useful Daisy for 

 cutting during August and September. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 

 25 cts. 



Pyhei HKi'M Uliginosum Stellata. 

 (Upper flower.) 



Salvia Uliginosa. 



Salvia 

 Uliginosa. 



3930 A novelty in 

 Hardy Peren- 

 nials and one of 

 the most desir- 

 able introduc- 

 tions of the season. In general habit similar to Salvia Azurea Grandi- 

 flora but of stronger growth, each plant forming a bushy specimen from 

 5 to 6 feet high; wonderfully free-flowering, blooming continuously from 

 June until frost. The flowers are a pretty cornflower blue with a white 

 throat, produced in branched spikes about six inches long. Easily 

 raised from seed, flowering the first season if sown early. See cut. 25^ 

 cts. per pkt. 



TWO BRILLIAIST SWEET ^WILLIAMS. 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color in this favorite hardy plant, which 

 originated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, R. I. In color it 

 is what florists call watermelon-pink or salmony-rose. For mid-season 

 mass bedding it has no equal. Perfectly hardy. 15 cts. per pkt. 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the brilliant salmony-pink 

 variety offered above. The color is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a 

 most effective plant for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade 

 is very uncommon. 15 cts. per pkt. 



A packet each of the above for 25 cts. 



RAINBOW CORN. 



(Zea Japonica Variegata. ) 

 2662 As an ornamental foliage jilant this is not only highly effective, but very 

 interesting. It grows about five feet high, quite bushy, the wonderfully 

 variegated leaves being striped with bright green, silvery white, rosy- 

 purple, and sulphur yellow. It makes a very pretty dividing line between 

 the vegetable and flower garden, or it may be used in the mixed border. 

 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



THE CARI>INAE CLI^IBER 



Not only the most brilliant but the most graceful annual climber ever intro- 

 duced. Illustrated and described on page oo.
