NEW AMERICAN SWEET PEA. 
EVAN @ ETE VEC EE? 
Compared with Painted Lady—the most popular sort, on 
the whole, hitherto—the flowers have afar deeper, richer 
coloring and greater fragrance. Their color when 
massed presents such a gorgeous picture as to stop the 
passer-by and elicit expressions of admiration, while their 
fragrance is so far reaching as to be phenomenal. 
No. 6814. Pkt. 10 ets.; 02. 40 ets. 
WHITH SWAN POPPY. 
The introducer describes this Poppy as probably one of 
the finest novelties of this year’s introduction. The plant 
forms a dense freely branching bush 2 feet in height ; 
above this are elevated on strong, slender stems, the very 
large flowers. These are of immense size, very double, 
with beautifully laciniated petals, and of the purest pos- 
sible white. It lasts much longer in bloom than any 
other Poppy. Its luxuriant green foliage and pure white 
flowers will make it a conspicuous object when planted in 
groups or as single specimens in the garden. 
No. 6387. Per pkt. 20 ets. 
POPPY, THE BRIDE. 
There is no class of flowers more popular than the vari- 
ous types of Poppy. The present novelty is a pure white 
single selection from the ordinary Papayver Somniferum. 
The flowers are of large size, and the petals nearly entire 
at the margin. It will be a great acquisition for cutting 
purposes; the flowers requiring to be cut as soon as barely 
expanded and put in water, when they will last a long 
time. 
No. 6388. Per pkt. 20 cts. 

NEW HYBRID MOON FLOWER. 
This new hybrid is a cross between the white and black- 
seeded Moon Flowers, and is a great improvement, the 
flowers being larger and coming much earlier into bloom. 
Both foliage and flowers vary in form on different plants, 
some flowers being scalloped, others perfectly round, 
others five-pointed or star-shaped ; the foliage also varies 
from the original shape to oak-leaved and heart-shaped 
forms, thus adding charm and interest to this grand 
climber. 
No. 5967. Per pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 ets.
