FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



Emperor Salpiglossis 



6487 The Salpiglossis is one of the greatest favorites 

 among annuals, partly because of its easy culture 

 but principally by its beautiful, in their design, 

 almoit orchid-like flowers, which it produces from 

 early Summer until late Fall. This new variety 

 forms only one leading stem and bears on its sum- 

 mit a veritable bouquet of the most beautiful flowers, 

 each one richly veined with gold, and much larger 

 than the finest of the " Grandi flora" type. The 

 throat is short and the edge of the flower not so- 

 deeply incurved as in the old type, giving it a more 

 rounded form and displaying the rich colors to the 

 best advantage. We had the pleasure of seeing 



this beautiful plant last Summer, and are satisfied that it will soon become a 



favorite. Per pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.00. 



THREE NEW CUPID OR 



DWARF SWEET PEAS. 



The three varieties offered below are of the 

 same dwarf habit as the White and Pink Cupids 

 sent out a year ago and offered on page 91 of 

 this Catalogue ; for borders or for pot culture 

 they are extremely valuable, coming into flower 

 in June and remaining a sheet of bloom until 

 September. 



6855 Beauty Cupid. Standard deli- 

 cate rose, shading to white at the 

 edges and . lightly striped with 

 carmine at the base. Wings rosy 

 carmine, deepening at the edges. 

 The finest individual flower of the 

 Cupid type. ( See cut. )

 ard rich creamy white, suffused 

 with soft pink. Wings silvery- 

 white with a faint pink flush in 

 the center. 



VIOEA CORNUTA 

 PAPIEIO. 



6725 Splendid new variety of the 

 "Bedding Pansy," resemb- 

 ling in shape of its flowers the 

 original species Viola Cor- 

 nuta. The flowers, however, 

 are nearly double the size, 

 while it is of more uniform 

 and vigorous growth. The 



Cdpid Sweet Pea — Beauty. 



6858 Primrose Cupid. Pale prim- 

 rose or creamy white throughout. 

 Very pretty.

color is an exceedingly lovely violet lilac with small dark eye. A group in flower looks 

 like a mass of blue butterflies, presenting a pleasing and novel a-pect. Per packet, 

 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.00. 



NEW TAEE SWEET PEA 

 "NAVY BLUE." 



6865 We tried this grand new sort in our experi- 

 mental grounds the past season, and noted it 

 as the finest deep blue Sweet Pea to date. 

 It is an entirely distinct color from any 

 existing variety — the standards being royal 

 purple, while the wings are purple violet — 

 the general color effect being a rich navy 

 blue. It is a strong grower, exceptionally 

 free flowering, and the flowers are very 

 large. A variety that has come to stay. 

 Per packet of 12 seeds, 25 cts., 5 packets 

 for $1.00. 



Navy blue 



Viola Corndta Papilio.
