SALVIA SPLENDENS 



"BOUQUET ROSE." 



3936 This novel variety of the popular Scarlet Sage is an introduction of a 

 famous French hybridizer and is identical in every way to the ordinary 

 Scarlet Sage except in color, which is mallow or rich rose-pink. It 

 was introduced in Europe last year in a limited way in plant form, and 

 received a very flattering reception. As Salvia Splendens is one of 

 the best and most popular flowering plants in the United Slates, we 

 look for a large demand for this novelty. 25 Cts. per pkt; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



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. 25 

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



4281 Scarlet Beauty, A splendid companion to the brilliant salmony- 

 pink variety offered above. The color is an intense rich, deep scar- 

 lit, and a most effective plant for the old-fashioned hardy border, 

 where this shade is very uncommon. 25 cts per pkt. ; 5 pkts. for $1.00. 



TRITOMA HVBRIDA MIRABILIS. 



'The Marvellous Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower or Torch Lily.) 

 4331 The great merit of this novelty consists in its dwarf and quick -flowering 

 qualities. Seed sown indoors or in a hotbed before the end of March 

 and planted out in May will bloom freely and constantly from July till 

 late Autumn. Flower stems rise to a height of about three feet; the 

 spikes 4J to 6 inches long, thickly set with tubular flowers, ranging in 

 color from light citron-yellow to rich orange-scarlet. While hardy in 

 many sections with slight protection it is best to lift the roots and. store 

 in sand in a cool place over winter. 25 cts. per pkt. ; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



VINCA ROSEA DELICATA. 



4384 Vinca Rosea is one of the most satisfactory plants for the American 

 climate. For years we have offered the rose, white with rose eye and 

 pure white varieties. (See page 124. ) Delicata is identical to the 

 others except in color, which is a soft rosy-carmine, shading off lighter 

 at the margin; a shade that is sure to be popular. 20 cts. per pkt. ; 3 

 pkts., 50 cts. 



VIOLA CORNITA THURINGIA. 



4404 A new and one of the prettiest Tufted Pansies yet introduced. The 

 flowers while small are produced in lavish profusion from early spring 

 till late summer. The upper petals of the flowers are a rich violet- 

 purple, the lower ones pale blue relieved by a white eye, forming a lovely 

 rich blue and white color combination. 20 cts, per pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



PRIMULA OBCONICA 



GRANDIFLORA CRISPA. 



3810 The latest introduction in this lovely Primrose, and a most desirable 

 acquisition. The edges of the petals of the large flowers are waved 

 and fluted, giving the truss a fuller, and at the same time a more 

 graceful, appearance than the old smooth-edged sorts. The color 

 is a delicate tender rose with a few scattering deeper rose shades 

 intermixed. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1.00. 



PRIMULA OBCONICA GIGANTEA. 



This, the finest of the Obconica type yet introduced, is the result of a 

 cross between P. obconica grandiflora and P. megascefolin ; of strong, 

 vigorous growth, with extra large individual flowers and flower heads. 



3811 Gigantea Kermeslna. Rich crimson. 25 cts. per pkt. 



3812 — Rosea. Pure rose color. 25 cts. per pkt. 



3815 — Mixed. All colors, from pale lilac to crimson. 20 cts. per pkt. 



PRIMULA MALACOIDES. 



826 An introduction from China that has proved itself to be one of the 

 freest-flowering species for pots yet introduced. Seeds sown in Feb- 

 ruary produce plants that will bloom from May till July, while by 

 sowing in August it can be had in flower throughout the winter 

 months. It resembles P. Forbesi, but is of somewhat stronger 

 growth. Flowers are a delicate shade of lilac. A fine window or 

 greenhouse plant. 25 cts. per pkt. 



PRIMULA MALACOIDES ALBA. 



3827 A pure white variety of the preceding, and similar in its general habit, 

 and having all the free and quick-flowering qualities of its parent.
