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 com- 

 pact growth and distinct 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 in May 

 or as soon as the weather has become settled and warm. The seed is 

 very minute, and should be sown practically on the surface of nicely 

 prepared soil and merely pressed in. It will greatly aid in the even dis- 

 tribution of the seed if mixed with sand or flour. 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 will be found offered on page 101.

Large Flowering Petunia 

 Purple Prince 



3575 This splendid rich velvety purple-violet variety belongs to 

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

 free as its smaller-flowering relatives, the quality of its blooms 

 make up in effectiveness for what is lost in quantity. Like all 

 others of this section it is a very shy seeder. 35 cts. per packet.

Pinks (Dianthus Allwoodi)

 Pinks for several years, and are again able to offer the seed, 

 our supply of which comes to us direct from the introducer, a 

 noted English specialist. It is expected that the seed will 

 produce an average of 75% double, deliciously clove-scented 

 flowers in many colors. They are perfectly hardy, and flower 

 continuously from spring until late in the autumn. 35 cts. 

 per pkt. of about 25 seeds. 3 pkts. for SI. 00. 



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 semitropical 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,
