" n III HWADREER -PHILAPaPHIA-PA-^ FLOWER SEED JfOVEUI K- lHH 



NICOXIANA SAND£R.^ (Carmine Tuberose-flowered Tobacco). 



3412 This was introduced last year, and was given a wide trial in all parts of the country. We 

 have received many reports, some favorable, some otherwise. The general consensus of 

 opinion seems to be that it is a valuable new plant, and one which will find a permanent 

 place in many gardens. It seems to do best in 

 partial shade, where its brilliant carmine flowers 

 remain open all day, and it will also be largely 

 grown as a pot plant for window and conservatory 

 decoration. 10 cts. per pkt. 



Nicotiana Sanderae Hybrids. 



3414 As a useful and beautiful garden plant Nicotiana 

 Sanderse is quite eclipsed by these new hybrids. 

 The commonest annual is not more easily grown; 

 they thrive in any soil or situation. If wanted for 

 the decoration of the conservatory there is no dif- 

 ficulty in having a glow of colors — pink, violet, 

 salmon, purple, crimson, rose and white — in huge 

 masses all through the spring months. As a cut 

 flower they are charming by daylight or artificial 

 light, lasting well and opening their blossoms in 

 water. They form bushy specimens about 3 feet 

 high, the whole plant laden with flowers from the 

 base to its summit. Collections containing 

 a packet each of the 8 colors, viz. : Pink, 

 white, purple, dark red, light red, crimson, 

 violet and salmon, 35 cts.

3532 This is by far 



" Sensation/' 



the most brilliant of all

 a spike of large. Gloxinia-like flowers in a 

 very wide range of bright colors, including 

 rose, red, carmine, cherry, pink, lilac, purple, 

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