HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS

SCHIZANTHUS 



(Butterfly or Fringe Flower) 



This is one of the airiest and daintiest flowers imaginable, especially adapted to 

 bordering beds of taller flowers and those of a heavier growth. The seeds germi- 

 nate quickly and come into bloom in a few weeks from sowing. The florescence is 

 such as to completely obscure the foliage, making the plant a veritable pyramid of 

 the most delicate and charming bloom. The Schizanthus make admirable pot 

 plants for the house in late winter and early spring. For this purpose sow in the 

 autumn.
