Dreer's Improved Large- Flowering Salpiglossis 



(PAINTED TONGUE) 



Illustrated in colors on the plate opposite. 

 These are one of the very finest annuals, and we hope the prominence which is given them this season will resilt in their being 

 more generally grown. They are of the easiest culture, succeeding in any good ordinary soil and in a sunny position. The plants 

 grow from 24 to 30 inches high, and produce freely from mid-summer until frost their attractive Gloxinia-like blossoms in a 

 very large and unusual range of colors, six of which are nicely shown on the color plate opposite. They are splendid for cutting; 

 lasting well. Seed may be started indoors or in a hot-bed about the end of March, or sown outdoors when danger from frost is 

 passed and the ground is in good condition. For best results the plants should not be set closer than 12 inches apart.

DOUBI.E CORNFLOWERS 



1881 Double Blue. This was introduced by us in 1907, and since then 

 has steadily gained in popular favor, until now it must be considered 

 one of the leading annuals. It is identical in color to the popular 

 single blue Cornflower, which is so much in demand for cutting, espe- 

 cially for buttonieres, but, being a full, double flower, it takes fewer of 

 them to make a nice bunch, and it is better in every way. The 

 plants form nice symmetrical bushes about 18 inches high. 15 

 cts. per pkt. ; 50 cts. per i oz. 



Double Rose=Plnk. After several years of careful selection 

 we have succeeded in securing a stock of this which reproduces 

 itself almost true. The flowers are quite double, and of an 

 attractive clear rose-pink, a color that is always in demand both 

 in the garden and for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per \ oz. 

 Double White. This has all the good qualities of the Blue 

 and Rose sorts, but is pure white, and when cut mixes nicely 

 with the other colors. 15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per \ oz. 



Double Blue Cornflower 



New Double-flowering 

 Cosmos 



Some years since a few individual plants of 

 Cosmos showed evidence of producing double 

 flowers, but it has taken a great deal of care and 

 patience to perfect the strain now offered. The 

 flowers vary considerably in their degree of dou- 

 bleness, as shown in our illustration, some being 

 absolutely double, while others have a frill or collar surround- 

 ing the double disc, and while we think this is the most 

 artistic, they are beautiful in either form. The plants have 

 somewhat heavier, less cut foliage than the regular single- 

 flowering type, so that the fact that they will produce double 

 flowers can be determined when the seedlings are quite 

 small. 



2081 Double Crimson. Rich rosy-crimson. 20 cts. per pkt. 



2082 Double Pink. A very pretty rosy-pink. 20 cts. per pkt. 

 2084 Double White. Pure glistening white. 20 cts. per pkt.
