FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



Mammoth Fringed Hollyhock "Allegheny." 



5954 An entirely new departure in this grand 

 old garden favorite which has much to 

 commend it. The mammoth flowers are 

 wonderfully formed of loosely arranged 

 fringed petals, which iook as if made from 

 the finest China silk, and when cut ai-e 

 hardly recognizable as a Hollyhock, hav- 

 ing none of the formality of the ordinary 

 type. The color varies from the palest 

 shrimp-pink to deep red. The plants are 

 of majestic growth^ sending up spikes 6 to 

 7 feet high, and is of a strong constitution, 

 not being troubled with the disease so 

 prevalent among Hollyhocks. In free and 

 persistent flowering, it is quite distinct 

 from the old type, coming into bloom in 

 June and lasting until frost, every bud 

 opening and the plant looking well at all 

 times. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts. $1.00. 



Cailiopsis Lanceolata Grandiflora, 



"California Sunbeams" 



5371 These lovely improved varieties, 

 seedlings of " Golden Glory," are 

 much larger and more beautiful 

 than any heretofore offered ; the 

 flowers are exquisitely formed, 

 some saucer-shaped, others cupped, 

 delicately incurved, while some are 

 quite flat, others like great Butter- 

 cups. The petals are broad, with 

 plain round edges in some flowers, 

 in others they are pinked, toothed 

 or irregularly fringed ; some are 

 semi-double ; in many the petals 

 are daintily curled. They vary in 

 color from pale light yellow to 

 orange yellow, some of them being 

 darker in shade around the eye. 

 The stems are long and the flowers 

 keep fresh in water for a week or 

 ten days. They are so beautiful 

 and aesthetic that they attract uni- 

 versal attention. 15 cts. per pkt.; 

 2 pkts. 25 cts. 



Erigeron Hybridus Roseus. 



5785 Interesting and attractive plant 

 for permanent positions. The 

 flowers are about 1 inch across, 

 of a beautiful purplish - rose, 

 with a golden yellow centre. 

 It is a hardy perennial, but will 

 flower the first year if sown 

 early, producing its lovely flow 

 ers without interruption from 

 May until late in the autumn. 

 25 cts per pkt. 



Fringed HoUyhock "Allegheny." 



Dwarf Hybrid Fringed Pinks. 



Dwarf Hybrid 



Fringed Pinks. 



[Dianiltus laciniatus nanus hybridus.) 



5738 New strain of annual Pinks, se- 

 lected from that beautiful variety, 

 "Salmon Queen," and differing 

 from that sort by their somewhat/ 

 smaller, less fringed, but much 

 finer colored flowers, which vary 

 from white to purplish-red, all 

 being tinged with bright salmon 

 and having a dark ring around the 

 eye. When grouped, are as beau- 

 tiful as they are distinct. Plant 

 grows 10 inches high ; remarkably 

 free flowering. 

 Price, 25 cts. per packet ; 



5 packets for $1.00. 



Double=Flowering 

 Cyclamen. 



(C. persicum gran.diflorum.fl. pi.) 



5666 We are glad to be able to offer 

 this, a really double-flowering 

 Cyclamen, coming quite true from 

 seed ; the flowers are produced 

 with the same freedom and in the 

 same beautiful colors as in the 

 single-flowering sorts, and they 

 last much longer when cut, and 

 when left on the plants continue 

 in good condition for over two 

 months. A valuable acquisition. 

 Price, 35 cts. per packet ; 



3 packets for §1.00. 



Erig-eron Hybridus Roseus. 



Tall or Climbing Nasturtium 

 "Vesuvius." 



Tliis new variety is by far the most striking and effective color yet intro- 

 duced in Nasturtiums, of a brilliant fiery-rose, which shows to grand 

 advantage when trained on a trellis or when hanging over balconies or 

 window boxes. The flowers are of extra-large size and have all the good 

 qualities of this beautiful and justly popular climbing annual. 



Price, 25 cts. per packet ; 5 packets for $1.00.
