A Golden Leaved Imperial Japanese Morning Glory. 



5965. Wherever climbers can be grown these should have a prominent place. They are beyond question the handsomest of a 

 handsome family, and well deserve their title of " Imperial " or " Emperor " Morning Glories. Of the easiest culture, can be spwn 

 in the open ground in a sunny situation when the weather has become warm and settled; they soon cover a large area, being of 

 strong rapid growth, and even before flowering are decidedly novel and interesting on account of the varied forms of the foliage 

 and their markings, many being margined with white while others are spotted and' splashed in the most fantastic fashion; a few 

 have golden foliage. But it is when in flower that their marvelous beauty arrests the attention of every one. The flowers are of 

 gigantic size, of good substance, remaining open the greater part of the day. The colorings are beyond description, nothing in the 

 vegetable kingdom to compare with the wonderful diversity of shade and combination; the self or solid colors range from snow 

 white to black purple, with all the possible intermediate shades such as pink, rose, fiery red, copper red, carmine, crimson, pale 

 blue, deep blue, royal purple, maroon, indigo, bronze, slate, brown, cherry, ash gray, &c, &c, &c; others are edged with white, 

 having throats of one of the above colors, while in others this is reversed, the throats being white and the edging of color; there 

 is also an endless number having flowers spotted, marbled, striped, flaked, splashed, &c, &c, in all the ways imaginable; 

 altogether they are truly one of nature's wonders.

Giant Double Sweet William. 



6631. A beautiful strain, which is a decided improvement on the ordinary form of this grand old garden flower. The plants 

 are of robust bushy habit, producing numerous stems surmounted by immense umbels of full double flowers, many of the individual 

 flowers measuring over one inch in diameter. The colors are extremely varied and very vivid. A bed of these make one of the 

 most showy and satisfactory objects in the garden.

Miniature or 

 Liliput Nasturtiums. 



(Tropaeolum Lobbianum Com pactum.) 



6140. This novelty is the forerunner of a new race of this 

 popular annual, and we believe is destined to fill a promi- 

 nent place in summer bedding, &c. 



It is a dwarf compact form of the well-known Tropseolum 

 Lobbianum, and is well named the Miniature Nasturtium, 

 being smaller in all its parts than the Tom Thumb type. 



It forms small dense bushes which are fairly hidden by 

 myriads of flowers, the colors of which are very varied, 

 many being new and beautiful shades hitherto unknown in 

 Nasturtiums. 



For bedding, edgings or borders they can be used with 

 great effect, while as a pot plant or for filling vases, hanging- 

 baskets, &c, they will be found invaluable. 



Per packet 25 cts., 5 packets for $1.00. Miniature or Lilipl
