Early Giant Imperial Stocks 



A recently developed strain of early-flowering Winter or 

 Brompton Stocks, forming much-branched plants about 2| feet 

 high and having numerous spikes of very large, double, 

 delightfully fragrant flowers, they are of special value as pot 

 plants for greenhouse decoration and for cutting during the 

 dull winter months; for this purpose seed should be sown from 

 July to September; if sown in February or March will produce 

 plants that will bloom out of doors from mid-summer till frost.

Sweet William, Newport Pink 



New Large-flowering Scabiosa 



Three Gorgeous Sweet Williams 



Few plants are so effective for midsummer bloom as the Sweet 

 William, and while classed as perennials, they are best handled as 

 biennials; raising a crop of new seedlings each season, they are 

 sure to give better results than old plants. The three sorts offered 

 below are bewildering in the mass of gorgeous bloom which they 

 produce all summer. per pkt. 



428? Newport Pink. A distinct new color which origin- 

 ated in one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, R. I. 

 In color it is what florists call watermelon-pink or 

 salmony-rose. Strikingly brilliant and beautiful; the 

 flowers are borne in massive heads on stems 18 inches 

 high. For mid-season mass bedding it has no equal. 



It is also very effective for cutting. 2 pkts., 25 cts §0 15 



4281 Scarlet Beauty. A very effective, rich deep scarlet 

 variety, a rare color in hardy plants. 2 pkts., 25 cts. . . 

 4291 Holborn Glory. This strain is a large-flowered selec- 

 tion of the auricula-eyed section, the most beautiful and 

 admired of all Sweet Williams. The individual flowers 

 and trusses are of extraordinary size, while the range of 

 color, all showing a clear, white eye, is truly superb. 

 I oz., 30 cts 



Tritoma Hybrida 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) 



4330 The introduction of new continuous flowering Tritomas 

 has given them a prominent place among hardy bedding 

 plants. It is not generally known that they are readily 

 grown from seed, many flowering the first year if sown 

 early. The seed we offer has been saved from a collection, 

 which is undoubtedly the finest in this country. Of course 

 for immediate results it will be better to get plants, but 

 raising them from seed is highly interesting. 15 cts. per 

 pkt.; 50 cts. per \ oz.
