SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus) 



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

 splendid eflect 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.

Double and Single Sweet William 



TRITOMA (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch LUy) 



PER PKT 



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new continuous flowering

 bedding plants. It is not generally known that they are

 sown early. The seed we offer has been saved from our 

 own collection, which is undoubtedly the finest in this coun- 

 try. 2 pkts., 25 cts

 famed gardens of Newport, R. I. In 

 color it is what florists call watermelon- 

 pink or salmon-rose. Strikingly brilliant

 massive heads on stems 18 inches high. 

 For midseason mass bedding it has no 

 equal. It is also very effective for cut- 

 ting. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15

deep scarlet variety. 2 pkts., 25 cts 15
