The SiMMUR Fir. 



Double Blub Coknflowek. 



Double-Quilled 

 Bns;lisli Daisy. 



(Bellis perennis tubulosa fl. pL) 



1598 It has taken years of careful 

 selection to produce this 

 densely douhle-quilled type, 

 which reproduces itself al- 

 most true from seed. The 

 colors include white, pink, 

 blood-red and other shades 

 of red, and are a desirable 

 addition to this pretty spring- 

 flowering plant. 20 cts. per 

 pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



The Summer Fir. 



(Artemisia Saccorum Viridis.) 



1226 A new annual ornamental 

 foliage plant from China not 



yet tried in this country. It is described as forming pyramidal bushes 3 to 

 5 feet in height, which, grown as an individual specimen, looks like a finely 

 grown Christmas tree, and can be used in groups or lines in the same way 

 as the Kochia or Summer Cypress. (Seepage 101.) The fine pinnate 

 foliage is a rich dark green, and can be used when cut to great advantage in 

 connection with flowers of any kind. As a class the annual Artemisias are 

 easily grown, doing well in even the poorest soil. A most interesting novelty. 

 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



RAI^BO^W COCKSCOMB. 



(Celosia Cristata Nana.) 



1855 A most novel and bizarre form of the popular dwarf Cockscomb, 

 forming very symmetrical plants not over a foot high and pro- 

 ducing enormous combs, each comb containing a number of 

 lively shades of yellow, pink, red and violet, the effect of these 

 several colors on the one flower being extremely gay. Easily 

 raised from seed. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1.00. 



DOUBLE BI.UE CORNFLOWER. 



(Centaurea Cyanus fl. pi.) 



1881 This was introduced by us in 1907, and is now a standard variety and largely 

 used by the commercial florist, who quickly recognized its value as a cut 

 flower. It is identical in color to the popular single blue variety, which is 

 so much in demand for cutting, especially for buttonieres, but, being a full, 

 double flower, it takes fewer of them to make a nice bunch, and is belter in 

 every way, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



CLARKIA ELEGANS SCAREET QUEEN. 



1983 A new and brilliant color of this popular annual from Europe. The 

 flowers are extremely double, opening a salmony orange, changing as 

 they mature to an intense salmony orange-scarlet. In other respects it is 

 similar in every way to the two standard sorts off'ered on page 85. 20 

 cts. per pkt. ; 3 pkts. for 50 cts. 



INVINCIBLE GIANT COWSLIP. 



2112 Quite distjnct from the ordinary Cowsli]> both in the stronger growth of 

 the plant and in the massive flowers, which are borne on stout stems 12 

 to 15 inches high. A bed o! these in early spring presents a sight which 

 commands the admiration of every lover of beautiful flowers. The col- 

 ors range from pure yellow and orange to the deepest scarlet and crimson. 

 2.') cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for -?].00. 



DimORPIIOTHECA 

 AURANTIACA 



HYBRIDA. 



2374 Beautiful new hybrids of the African 

 Golden Daisy and now offered for the 

 first lime, similar in habit to the pa- 

 rent; the flowers equally as large, 

 but varying in color from the purest 

 white through the various shades of 

 yellow and orange to rich salmon 

 shades, many being zoned with sev- 

 eral of these colors around the black 

 di.sc. Easily raised from seed, the 

 plants doing best in a sunny, rather 

 diy situation. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 

 l>kts., 4;i.00.
