 long and thick spikes. For florists or growers for markets

MIMULUS MOSCHATUS COMPACTUS. 



An improved form of this universal favorite which will 

 be welcomed by all lovers of window-plants. The branches 

 are short and more vigorous than in the old Musk, thus 

 forming a compact bush of an erect habit, as shown in the 

 illustration, and the plant is just as floriferous and emits 

 the same delightful fragrance as the old variety of Musk, 



No. 6114. Per pkt., 25 cts. 



MOON FLOWER. 



(IPOMEA NOCTIFLORA.) 



A very rapid-growing vine, which will easily cover a 

 surface of 25x40 feet during the season. At night and 

 during dull days the plants are covered with an abun- 

 dance of large, pure white fragrant flowers 5 to 6 inches in 

 diameter. One of the most showy of the annual climbers. 

 The seed we offer of the Moon Flower is true, and not 

 Ipomea Boua Nox, which is of a pale lilac color. 



No. 5967. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 for 25 cts. 



Shirley Poppy. 



SHIRLEY POPPY. 



These charming Poppies are generally single or semi- 

 double. The range of color, extending from pure white 

 through the most delicate shades of pale pink, rose and 

 carmine to deepest crimson, is so varied that scarcely two 

 are alike, while many are delicately edged and striped. 

 The blooms, if cut when young, will stand for several days 

 without dropping.
