ScABiosA Azure Fairy 



NEW SCARI.ET SAGE 

 AMERICA OR GI.OBE OF FIRE 



We have in the last few years tested over a score of varieties of Scarlet 

 Sage and believed that the sorts which we offer on page 107 covered the 

 most desirable. In this new variety, which was grown at our own Nurs- 

 ery, and which was easily the most brilliant bit of color among the 

 acres of flowers grown there, we have what is undoubtedly the earli- 

 est, freest and most continuous bloomer of all, and, what is 

 still more important, the most uniform in habit of growth; 

 the bushy plants do not grow over 15 inches high, with the 

 spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers thrown well above the plant, 

 making a total height of about 2 feet, and in the lines, sev- 

 eral hundred feet in length, there was not a variation of an 

 inch in the height of any plant; the importance of this uni- 

 formity will be appreciated by those who use Scarlet Sage 

 for beds or borders. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



Large Flowerings Annual Scabiosa 

 " Azure Fairy " 



3943 We consider this the most beautiful of all the annual Scabi- 

 osas, the large flowers of lovely lavender blue, borne on long, 

 strong stems make them an ideal cut flower, and their ease 

 of culture and long flowering season warrants their extensive 

 use in every garden. 10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per J oz. 



Two Brilliant Sweet liVilliams 



4282 Newport Pink. A distinct new color in this favorite hardy 

 plant, which originated in one of the far-famed gardens at 

 Newport, R. I. In color it is what florists call watermelon- 

 pink or salmony-rose. For mid-season mass-bedding it has 

 no equal. Perfectly hardy. 



Scarlet Beauty. A splendid companion to the above. 

 The color is an intense rich, deep scarlet, and a most effect- 

 ive plant for the old-fashioned hardy border, where this shade 

 is very uncommon. 

 Either of the above 15 cts. per pkt. A packet of each for 25 cts. 



4281 



THREE "BAECONY" PETUNIAS 



A splendid free-flowering type of Single Petunias, growing 

 about 12 inches high, with flowers averaging 3 inches across; 

 of special value for window or porch boxes and vases, but equ- 

 ally as effective in beds or borders. We offer three distinct and 

 desirable colors: 



3555 Balcony Blue. Rich, velvety indigo-blue. 



3556 Balcony Rose. A very effective brilliant rose-pink. 



3557 Balcony White. A splendid pure white. 



Price. Any of the above, 20 cts. per pkt. A packet of 

 each color for 50 cts. 



NEIV MAMMOTH VERBENA 

 "EUCIFER" 



4357 A most valuable addition to the range of colors in this 

 important bedding plant, being an even, intense deep 

 cardinal-scarlet throughout; it is identical to our other 

 Mammoth Verbenas in size of bloom, floriferousness and 

 other good qualities. As a brilliant bed or border we feel 

 sure this will be most satisfactory. 25 cts. per pkt. ; 5 

 pkts., $1.00. 



INVINCIBEE GIANT POEYANTHUS 



3677 A magnificent strain of this perfectly hardy and easily grown spring- 

 flowering Primrose, representing the work of twenty-five years of 

 painstaking cross-breeding and selection by a Scotch specialist. Of 

 strong, sturdy habit, and bearing immense trusses of large flowers on 

 self-supporting stems 10 to 16 inches in length. Unquestionably the 

 finest strain in cultivation, containing all colors from purest white to 

 the richest crimson. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



NEW HYBRID ICEEAND POPPY 



3738 This beautiful strain of these charming hardy Poppies is being im- 

 proved every year, and the stock which we offer this season will be 

 found much finer than heretofore, containing a great number of 

 lovely new shades of color. 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



Giant Flow^ering Chinese Fringed 

 Primula 



3791 This magnificent strain is quite distinct from the regular type, being 

 of much more robust growth and producing immense trusses of extra 

 large, finely fringed flowers in many new and novel colors; as a pot 

 plant for the house or conservatory, this is unequalled. 35 cts. per 

 pkt.; 3 pkts. for $1.00. 



Salvia Amkuica or Gloui.- np Fire
