Beautiful Bedding Petunias 



For outdoor decoration, porch, or window boxes, or any 

 position where a mass of color is wanted, we do not know of any 

 plant that equals the Bedding Petunias for effectiveness, and 

 that will give such a wealth of charming color over so long a 

 season. They begin flowering early and continue a sheet of bloom 

 without interruption until killed by frost. The six Bedding sorts 

 offered below were selected for their compact growth and dis- 

 tinct coloring. To secure the longest season of bloom, the seed 

 should be started indoors or in a hot-bed in March or April, or 

 may be sown directly where they are wanted to bloom as soon as 

 the weather has become settled and warm. For best results the 

 plants should be set about a foot apart, and preferably given a 

 sunny position. The large-flowering Single and Double Fringed, 

 and Ruffled sorts wiU be found offered on page 101.

 the Grandiflora or large-flowering section, and while not as

 spring-flowering Primrose, representing the work of twenty- 

 five years of painstaking cross-breeding and selection by a 

 Scotch specialist. Of strong, sturdy habit, and bearing im- 

 mense trusses of large flowers on self-supporting stems 10 to

 vation, containing aU colors from purest white to the richest 

 crimson. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



New Hybrid Iceland Poppy

season will be found much finer than heretofore, containing 



a great number of lovely new shades of 



color. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



New Ricinus or 



Castor Oil Plant 



"Red Spire" 



3867 A visitor to our Nurseries declared 



our planting of this to be the most 



effective and ornamental feature in 



the establishment. The shapely, 



bushy plants attain a height of about 



6 feet, with pretty palmate leaves of a 



bronzy green with prominent red ribs 



and veins, and producing through the 



summer and autumn numerous spikes 



of flowers or seedpods 9 to 18 inches 



long, of a brilliant rosy crimson; altogether a most effective 



semi-tropical plant, valuable alike for its foliage and flowers 



and like other Ricinus, absolutely insect-proof. As single 



specimens or in beds on the lawn for filling up a corner, or 



making a hedge or line, this is one of the most ornamental 



plants ever introduced. 10 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per oz.
