3695 This beautiful variety Is a selection out of the Shirley Poppy, and 

 which comes almost one hundred per cent, true from seed; in color a 

 uniform bright but soft Wild Rose pink, a color that appeals to 

 everyone and which makes a charming bed, and of special value 

 for cutting. 15 cts. per pkt.; 50 cts. per ^ oz.; $1.50 per oz. 



NE^V HYBRIO ICEI.ANR POPPY 



3738 Tliis beautiful strain of these charming hardy Poppies is being 

 improved every year, and the stock which we offer this season 

 will be found much finer than heretofore, containing a great 

 number of lovely new shades of color. 15 c's. per pkt,; 2 

 pkts., 25 cts. 



NE^V SCARI^ET SAGE AMERICA 



3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties of 

 Scarlet Sage, and believed that the sorts which we oft'er on page 

 109 covered the most desirable. 

 In this new variety, which was 

 grown at our own Nursery, and 

 which was easily the most bril- 

 liant bit of color among the acres 

 of flowers grown there, we have 

 what is undoubtedly the earliest, 

 freest and most continuous bloomer 

 of all, and, what is still more im- 

 portant, the most uniform in habit 

 of growth; the bushy plants do not 

 grow over 15 inches high, with the 

 spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers 

 thrown well above the plant, mak- 

 ing a total height of about 2 feet, 

 and in the lines, several hundred 

 feet in length, there was not a va- 

 riation of an inch in the height of 

 of any plant; the importance of this 

 uniformity will be appreciated by 

 those who use Scarlet Sage for beds 

 or borders. 25 cts. per pkt. ; 5 

 pkts., $1.00. 



Verbena " Lucifer" 



Shirley Poppy, Wild Rose Pink 



Giant Elo^vering 



Cliiiiese Fringed 



Primula 



3791 This magnificent strain 

 is quite distinct from 

 the regular type, being 

 of much more robust 

 growth and producing 

 immense trusses of 

 extra large, finely 

 fringed flowers in 

 many new and novel 

 colors; as a pot plant for the house 

 or conservatory, this is unequal- 

 led. 35 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for 

 $1.00. 



New Scarlet Sage " America" 



Tw^o Brilliant S^veet "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 salmonyrose. 

 For midseason mass bedding it has no equal. Perfectly hardy. 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the 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 un- 

 common. 

 Either of the above, 15 cts. per pkt. A packet of each for 25 cts. 



NEW MAMMOTH VERBENA 

 " I.UCIFER" 



4357 A most valuable addition to the range of colors in this important 

 bedding plant, being an even, intense deep cardinal-scarlet through- 

 out; it is identical to our other Mammoth Verbenas in size of 

 bloom, floriferousness and other good qualities. As a brilliant bed 

 or border we feel sure this will be most satisfactory. 25 cts. per 

 pkt.; 5 pkts., fl.OO.
