 growth. The umbels of flowers average from 8 to 12 inches in diameter, the prevail- 

 ing colors being all shades of blue, light and dark viole", lilac and bluish-white, and

I IMPATIENS PI.AXYPETAI.A ALBA. 



2843 This novelty resembles in growth and habit the well-known type with purple flowers ; 

 in each axis of the three upper leaves it bears a large, quite flat-lipped flower, with 

 two broad lobes and a slightly recurvated spur. The color is pure white with a purplish- 

 carmine eye; an excellent pot plant for the greenhouse or conservatory. 25c. per pkt. 



THREE MAGNIFICENT MIGNONETTES. 



The three varieties of these popular fragrant favorites oft'ered below are undoubtedly the 

 best and most distinct of the many new sorts sent out in the last few years. All are equally 

 valualile for indoor culture or for the garden in summer. 



3159 Goliath. Of compact, dwarf habit, rich green foliage and spikes of immense size ; 

 well colored and highly scented. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt. 



3151 Orailg'e Qlieeu. This variety is quite 

 distinct from any heretofore oft'ered, the mon- 

 strous spikes being a beautiful orange color; 

 of dwarf, sturdy growth, and as sweetly 

 scented as any. 20 cts. per pkt. 



3160 Ullbiu. A selection from that fine sort 

 Machet, having all the good qualities of the ^ 

 parent, but with flowers of a bright red ; said & 

 to be the highest-colored of all. 10 cts ( 

 per pkt. 



A packet each of the 3 Mignonettes for 40 cts. 



Pueraria Thunbergiana. 



(Japanese Kudzu Vine.) 



3835 This is not new, but is now offered by us for 

 the first time, and to it 

 must be awarded first 

 place as the fastest- 

 growing hardy climb- 

 ing plant. It will grow 

 8 to 10 feet the first 

 year from seed, and 

 after it becomes estab- 

 lished there seems to 

 be no limit to its 

 growth, 50 feet in a 

 single season being not 

 unusual. Its foliage is 

 large and covers well ; 

 it bears small racemes 

 of rosy-purple pea- 

 shaped blossoms 

 towards the close of 

 August. A splendid 

 subject for covering 

 permanently verandas, 

 dead trees, etc. 10 cts. 

 per pkt.; 3 pkts., 25c. 



FRiN<-;tu Kliffled Giani I^etunia. 



Goliath Mignonette. 



L,arge-flo\%ering 



Dwarf Phlox. 



Of all summer-flowering annuals 

 the varieties of Phlox ■ Drummon- 

 dii are unquestionably one of the 

 most brilliant and satisfactory. Seed 

 may be sown in the open ground any 

 time after danger from frost is past, 

 and in a few weeks the beds or bor- 

 ders are aglow with their brilliant 

 coloring and remain so until cut down 

 by frost. While the regular Grandi- 

 flora type bears fine heads of bloom, 

 it is somewhat tall and straggly, while 

 the Nana Compacta sorts have com- 

 paratively small panicles and indi- 

 Large-flowering Dwarf Phlox. vidual flowers. In this new type we 



have the happy medium, combining the size of the individual flower and 

 head of the finest Grandifloras with the dwarf, compact growth of the 

 Nana Compacta sorts; altogether a perfect combination, and one that will 

 recommend itself to all who wish bright, cheerful beds or borders for the 

 longest possible time with the least trouble. (See cut.) We offer three 

 fine distinct colors as well as in mixture :

Fringed Ruffled Giant Petunias. 



3578 This new strain originated with the famous specialist in California, 

 who, some years ago, sent out the California Giant and Ruffled 

 Giant strains. It differs from the latter in having, in addition to 

 the ruffling, a very fine fringed edging, making a very handsome 

 flower. In size and coloqng this new strain is equal to the finest 

 now in commerce, and must be regarded as a decided advance in 

 this important flower. (See cut.) 35 cts. per pkt.
