As is our usual custom, we again offer this collection with 

 such changes made in it as to bring it up to date, and to main- 

 tain our claim that the varieties in this collection are the ac- 

 knowledged leaders in their respective colors, combining in the 

 highest degree all the qualities of a perfect flower, and were 

 selected alter the most critical tests for their apparent superiority 

 for size of flower, purity of color, free-flowering and strong- 

 growing qualities. We feel sure that those of our customers 

 wjio grow this collection will be more than satisfied with the 

 result. The low price at which we ofi"er these should induce 

 liberal planting of these most useful floral favorites.

EARI^Y-FI^O^WERIIVG S^W'EET PEAS. 



So many improvements have been made in Sweet Peas within the last 10 years that it almost 

 seems as if perfection had been attained in size, form and range of color; but, strange to say, 

 the development of an early-flowering type seems to have been neglected until quite recently, 

 when the Extra Early Blanche Ferry was sent out. It met with a good reception, and is now 

 a standard sort. We are pleased to offer two new aspirants for honors in early-flowering qua 

 ities, and believe both will prove valuable alike to those who grow Sweet Peas under glass and 

 out of doors, enabling them to begin cutting from ten days to two weeks ahead of the usual 

 time and lengthening the season that much. 

 4098 Earliest of All. Similar in color to Blanche Ferry, the standards being a bright 



pink while the wings are nearly white, but flowers a week to ten days in advance of the 



extra early type. 5 cts. per pkt.; 10 cts. per oz. 

 4174 Mont Blanc. A beautiful pure white early-flowering sort from Europe, similar to 



Emily Henderson, but coming into flower fully two weeks earlier ; will be valuable for 



sowing under glass. (See cut.) 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for 50 cts. 



^WHITE MOSS VERBENA (Verbena Erinoides Alba). 



4364 A charming white-flowered variety of this valuable plant, and, like the blue-flowered 

 sort offered on page 98, forms a carpet of moss-like foliage, with heads of pure white 

 flowers held well above it. Where a lied of solid white is wanted this will prove invalua- 

 ble, while for hanging-baskets or rockeries its free, graceful trailing growth makes 

 it especially desirable. (See cut.) 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for 50 cts. 



SI]VGI<E ^WAEE-FEO^VER GOI.IATH. 



4414 A splendid new variety of this fine old-fashioned fragrant favorite, distinguished 

 from the type by its free-flowering qualities and the large size and rich color of its 

 flowers. Seed sown in April or May will produce fine plants by the end of sum- 

 mer, which may be wintered over in a cold frame, and, if brought into the green- 

 house in January, can be forced into flower in six weeks. The plants are of dwarf 

 branching habit, rarely exceeding 12 inches in height, each stem surmounted by 20 

 to 30 beautiful fragrant flowers of a rich shining red with a black velvety sheen. 

 Well worth space in any greenhouse. 25 cts. per pkt.
