Two Magnificent Marigolds 



The two varieties offered below are grown for us by a specialist 

 and are without doubt the very finest of the larye-flowering Afri- 

 can type, and grow almost 2j feet high, bearing in continuous suc- 

 cession from early summer till hard frost, large and perfectly 

 double flowers. 



3084 Orange Prince. Flowers very large, of a deep golden 

 orange. 15 cts. per pkt. ; 50 cts. per J oz. 

 Lemon Queen. Immense double flowers, in color a soft 

 lemon-yellow, making a fine contrast to the rich orange of 

 the preceding, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 50 cts. per \ oz. 

 One pkt. each of the above for 25 cts. 



New White Oriental Poppy 



This is the most distinct "break" that has yet been made 

 in Oriental poppies, it heing a pure satiny white with a bold 

 crimson blotch at the base ot each petal. Like most hybrids 

 the seedlings are liable to vary somewhat in color, but a 

 good percentage can confidently be expected to come true. 

 25 cts. per pkt. 



New Hybrid Iceland Poppy 



3738 This beautiful strain ot these charming hardy Poppies is 

 being improved every year, and the stock which we offer 

 this season will be found much finer than heretofore, con- 

 taining a great number of lovely new shades of color. 15 

 cts. per pkt.; 2' pkts., 25 cts. 



Giant Flowering Chinese Fringed 

 Primula 



3791 This magnificent strain is quite distinct from the regular 

 type, being of much more robust growth and producing im- 

 mense trusses of extra large, finely fringed flowers in many 

 new and novel colors; as a pot plant for the house or con- 

 servatory, this is unequalled. 



35 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for $1.00. 



New Scarlet Sage " Globe of Fire » 



3936 We have in the last few years tested over a score of varie- 

 ties of Scarlet Sage and believed that the sorts which we 

 offer on page 104 covered the most desirable. In this new 

 variety, which was grown at our own Nursery, and which 

 was easily the most brilliant bit of color among the acres of 

 flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly the ear- 

 liest, freest and most continuous bloomer of all and, what is 

 still more important, the most uniform in habit of growth; 

 the bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches high with the 

 spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the plant, 

 making a total height of about two feet, and in the lines, 

 several hundred feet in length, there was not a variation 

 of an inch in the height of any plant, the importance of 

 this uniformity will be appreciated by those who use Scar- 

 let Sage for beds or borders. 



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

Salvia Globe of Fire 



SIDALCEA 



Hardy perennials of considerable beauty for the border, grow- 

 ing from 3 to 5 feet high and producing their showy, satiny flow- 

 ers during June and July; blooms well either in sun or partial shade, of 

 easy culture, succeeding in any ordinary garden soil. 



3975 Rose Queen. A new variety and one of the finest hardy peren- 

 nials, develops spikes 5 feet high covered with large brilliant rose- 

 colored flowers. 20 cts. per pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



3976 Rosy Gem. Of dwarf habit, not over 3 feet high, and pretty 

 bright rose flowers. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



NeW ColOrS Of StOkeSia (Cornflower Asters) 



4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, although a native of the United States, 

 was practically unknown as a garden plant until the year 1903, when 

 we illustrated it in colors on the cover of our Garden Book; and, as 

 a result of our efforts, it is now one of the popular hardy perennials. 

 Some years later, a white-flowered variety was discovered, and now 

 we are able to offer a mixture containing a number of rose shades, 

 white and various shades of blue and purple as well. 

 15 cts. per pkt; 2 pks., 25 cts. 



TWO BRILLIANT SWEET WILLIAMS 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color in this favorite hardy plant, 

 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. 

 For mid-season mass-bedding it has no equal. Perfectly hardy. 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the above. The color 

 is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effective plant for the 

 old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade is very uncommon. 

 Either of above 15 cts. per pkt. A packet of each for 25 cts. 



As a brilliant bed or border nothing excels Salvia Globe of Fire
