SWEET WILLIAM (Oianthus Barbatus 



A well-known, attractive, free-flowering hardy perennial, producing a splendid 



effect in beds and borders with their rich and varied flowers. It is much better 



to raise new, vigorous, young plants from seed every season than to divide the old 



plants. PER PKT. 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color 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. Strikingly brilliant and beautiful; 



the flowers are borne in massive heads on stems 18 inches high. For 



mid-season mass bedding it has no equal. It is also very effective for 



cutting. 2 pkts., 25 cts

color in hardy plants. 2 pkts., 25 cts.

superb. J oz., 25 cts 10

TRITQMA 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) 



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new, continuous flowering Tritomas has 

 given them a prominent place among hardy bedding plants. It is not 

 generaUy known that they are readily grown from seed, many flowering 

 the first year if sown early. The seed we offer has been saved from our 

 own collection, which is undoubtedly the finest in this country. Of 

 course for immediate results it will be better to get plants, but raising 

 them from seed is highly interesting. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15 



TUNICA 



4335 Saxifraga. A neat, tufted hardy perennial plant, growing but a few 

 inches high, and bearing throughout the entire season numerous elegant 

 pink flowers. Will thrive anywhere, but is especiaUy adapted for the 

 rockery or the margin of the hardy border; blooms the first season. ... 10
