New Double Hollyhock "Newport Pink." 



2701 A charming variety that originated in one of th; famous gardens at 

 Newport, R. I. It produces stately spikes of very double rosette- 

 like flowers of pure pink, a shade that is always in demand. A few 

 plants in our trial grounds the past season were greatly admired by 

 all visitors. The seed of this variety is quite distinct, being much 

 smaller than those of other colors. 20 els. per pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts 



TWO HANDSOMB HEI.ENIUMS. 



The two fine sorts offered below originated a( our own nurseries, and art 

 great advances on the older sorts, and desirable additions to any collectioD 

 of hardy perennial plants.

all summer with jjrilliant flowers, opening old-gold, changing as the> 



mature to wallflower-red.

color, tlie petals being a rich lemon-yellow surrounding a large con? 



of purplish-black; a striking combination.

GIANT YEI.I.OAV TULIP POPPY. 



(Hunnemannia Fumariaefolia.) 

 2821 This is by far the best of the Poppy family for cutting, remaining ii. 

 good condition for several days. Seed sown early in May will, bv 

 the middle of July, produce plants covered with their large butter 

 cup-yellow, poppy-like blossoms, and never out of flower until hard 

 frost. The plants grow about 2 feet high, are quite bushy, with 

 beautiful feathery, glaucous foliage. J oz., 25 cts. ; 10 cts. per pkt

Newport Pink Hollyhock. 



GAILI.ARDIA EORENZIANA, 



" THE BRIDE." 



2498 The double annual Gaillardias have always been favorites both as cut 

 flowers and for liedding, and this new veiy double creamy- white sort is 

 particularly desirable for cutting, the flowers being of good size and 

 borne on very long stems. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 ]>kts. for 25 cts. 



GEUM COCCINEUM, MRS. BRADSHAW. 



2542 A new and greatly improved form from England of the hardy herba- 

 ceous doulile scarlet Geum. The flowers are very double, fully twice 

 the size of the type and equally as brilliant in color. This promises to 

 supercede all the older varieties. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



Double-flowering BABY^'S BREATH. 



(Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi.) 

 2695 This was introduced in plant form a few years ago, but being some- 

 what diflncult to propagate was likely to remain scarce. We are now 

 able to offer seed of it, which reproduces itself about 50 per cent, 

 true, which should help its rapid dissemination. The plant grows 

 from 3 to 3i feet high, bearing its pretty little double white flowers 

 in much-branched panicles, which, when cut, can be used to great 

 advantage with other flowers or by themselves, as they retain their 

 beauty for months. It is also a most desirable addition to the hardy 

 border. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts.
