NE^V SINGI.E DAHI.IA, 



TWENTIETH CENTURY. 



A grand new single variety, entirely distinct from all previous introduc- 

 tions, and not only valuable as a flowering plant for the garden, but as a choice 

 cut flower. The plant is of free branching habit, commencing to bloom early 

 m the season and producing its flowers on stems 3 feet long, and which, after 

 cutting, keep in perfect condition for a long time. They measure 4|- to 6 

 inches in diameter, and early in the season are an intense rosy crimson tipped 

 with vvhite and havino- a white band around the disc. As the season advances 

 they become lighter,°until they are almo.^t a pure white suffused with soft 

 pink; not variegated, but blended in the most beautiful manner. It may not 

 be generally Uuowu that Single Dahlias are as easily raised from seed as the 

 conamonest annuals. Sown in the open ground, when the weather has be- 

 come warm, they flower in August ; but for the longest pos-^ible season of 

 bloom it is best to give them the advantage of a start indoors or in a hotbed.

NeiJV Silver "Variegated Nasturtium,

We gave this new variety a trial in our experimental grounds la.st summer, 

 and were delighted with it. It forms globular, com]iact, bushy plants, the foli- 

 age handsomely and distinctly variegaied white and green ; ihe flowers, which 

 , are rich crimson, are of secondary importance, as it is as a variegated border plant 

 that this novelty will be used ; comes true from seed. 25 ct'^. per pkt.; 5 pkts. ,$1.00. 



Eobb's Climbing Nasturtium, Blaek Prince. 



A new variety of German origin, described by the introducer as the darkest- 

 colored of all climbing Nasturtiums. Plants of strong, vigorous growth, and 

 produce their flowers very freely. When unfolding their buds the color is a 

 deep blackish-purple, which changes to a velvety-black when in full bloom. 

 Another .'Striking feature of this novelty is its foliage, which is of the same beau 

 tiful dark blue-green color, as those of the dwarf variety. Empress of India; 

 a very effective summer climber. 20 cts. per pkt., .3 ]ikis. for 50 cts.

One of the most beautiful Pansies that has ever come under our notice. The 

 plants are perfect in habit and very free-flowering ; flowers of the largest size, 

 with five velvety-violet blotches, relieved by a broad margin of white ; the 

 edges of the petals are elegantly waved. 20 cts. per pki.; 3 pkts,, 50 cts.
