NEW EVERBL003IING 



HARDY PINKS. 



The six varieties here offered are our own introductions, and

 ning the latter part of May and continuing until late in fall; 

 deliciously clove-scented. (See cut.) 

 Comet. Bright rosy crimson. 

 Delicata. A soft delicate rose, finely fringed. 

 Distinction. Deep rose, shaded crimson. 

 Sparkler. Deep rose-pink, with carmine shadings.

MONTBRETIA " GERMANIA." 



This splendid giant-flowering variety grows about 3j feet 

 high ; of sturdy habit, much branched, and produces freely 

 graceful spikes of six-petalled, widely expanded flowers meas- 

 uring over 3 inches across; of a rich, glowing scarlet, shading 

 to orange, with a blood-red throat; a most striking combination 

 of color. Nothing can excel the brilliant effect this novelty pro- 

 duces when planted in masses, while as a late summer cut 

 flower it is invaluable. 15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz 



New Geraniums for 1903. 



For over half a century nearly every issue of our catalogue has offered 

 sets of new Geraniums, but still the improvements continue. The sets 

 offered this year fully demonstrate the careful work of the hybridizer and 

 specialist, and will be found decided advances over previous introductions. 

 We do not claim that these new varieties will stand bedded out in our 

 trying climate, but for conservatory and window garden decoration — where 

 the Geranium must still be considered as one of the most' satisfactory of 

 all plants— they are sure to please the most critical. 



NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS. 



Bertha de Presilly. Silvery rose, of a most beautiful shade. 

 Fleur de Rose. Deep rosy pink, with large white eye. 

 Jean Madeline. Bright pure rose, the back of the petals white. 

 Le Barde. Deep china pink, upper petals marked with lilac. 

 riadonna. A pure whue of unusual large size and fine form. 

 Robert Charlie. Rosy mauve, marked with white on upper petals. 

 25 cts. each ; set of 6 varieties, $1.25. 



NEW SINGLE GERANIUMS. 



Comtesse de Chautemerle. Aurora salmon, shading lighter towards 



the edges. 

 Edmond Rostand. Very rich and bright magenta. 

 Gen. Leonard Wood. Bright crimson rose, with large white blotch; 

 one of the prettiest of the aureole type. 



. Precurseur. The forerunner of a new type of whites, of large 

 size and spreading form. 

 Richmond Beauty. Brilliant scarlet crimson, with large 



white feathering in the upper petals. 

 Theonoe. Pure white, with a thread of pink outlining each 

 petal. 



25 cts. each ; set of 6 varieties, §1.25. 



POLYGONUM BALDSCHUANICUM. 



A hardy climber of recent introduction from the mountains of Turkestan ; it is of 

 rapid growth, frequently attaining a height of 10 to 12 feet in one season ; the stems are 

 twining and cling for support to any object within reach. Even' branchlet terminates in 

 a panicle of white, foamy flowers, which are produced during August and September. 

 Strong plants, §1.00 each. 



POLYGONUM MUETIFEORUM. 



Another grand addition to our list of rapid-growing hardy climbers, attaining a height 

 of 15 to 20 feet in a single season, and one which seems peculiarly adapted to our cli- 

 matic conditions. It has bright green heart-shaped foliage, which does not appear to be 

 attacked by any insect pest, and during September and October produces masses of deli- 

 cate white flowers in trusses at the axils of every leaf. Erroneously this plant has been 

 distributed by some growers as P. Baldschiianiaon, from which it is quite distinct. 

 Good young plants, 25 cts. each. 



SPIRAEA ARUNCUS KNEIFFI. 



Although first introduced four years ago, this handsome variety of Meadow Beauty is 

 still practically unknown. It is perfectly hardy, and should find a place in every per- 

 ennial border. In a damp position it will form a plant 3 to 4 feet high, with finely 

 divided graceful fern-like foliage and great sprays of feathery silvery-white flowers in June 

 and July. 50 cts. each ; §5.00 per doz. 



NEW GOLDEN-LEAVED SALVIA "AUDUBON." 



This handsome golden variegated form of the Scarlet Sage originated with Mr. E. 

 Baker, Supt. of Audubon Park, New Orleans. It is entirely distinct from all variegated 

 plants, and should prove a gem, not only for bedding, filling window-boxes, etc., but as 

 an ornamental plant for the conservatory and window garden. The plant is fully as 

 vigorous as the Scarlet Sage, the deep green foliage freely and irregularly mottled and 

 blotched with creamy-yellow, deepening to a rich bright yellow. 20 cts. each; §2.00 

 per doz. 



NEW DOUBLE IYY GERANIUMS. 



Col. Baden=Powell. The largest flowering in this section, 

 color varying from pearl white to soft blush ; strikingly beau- 

 tiful. 



Etincelant. A fine, distinct bright scarlet. 



Leopard. Large semi-double flowers, the ground color clear 

 lilac-pink, with heavy carmine blotches over the upper petals; 

 may be aptly described as a Lady Washington Ivy-leaf. The 

 greatest break in this section ever obtained. 



Mrs. Hawley. Rich deep pink ; semi-double. 



firs. J. Q. Day. An intense shade of rosy crimson. 



White Queen. The finest double white. 



25 cts. each; set of 6 varieties. §1.25. 



Polygonum Baldschuanicum.
