New White Indian Pink, 

 QUEEN OF HOLLAND/ 



NEW CUPID SWEET PEAS, 



DIANTHUS, "QUEEN OF HOLLAND." 



A choice new variety of Dianthus Heddewigi, of a 

 color heretofore lacking in this valuable class of Pinks 

 —a beautiful pure white. The flowers are large and 

 single {see illustration) sometimes flushed lightly in the 

 centre with faint rosy pink, but in general of a clear, 

 pure white: very delicate and beautiful. A valuable 

 addition to the great variety of colors displayed by 

 the Indian Pinks, and very desirable for cutting, as 

 well as for garden display. Pkt., 20c. 



FAIRY ROSE. 



Rosa Multiflora Nana Perpetua. 



Beautiful 

 roses,bloom- 

 ing in sixty 

 days from 

 seed ! A 

 great inno- 

 vation, and 

 one that will 

 give delight 

 to all flower 

 lovers. The 

 beauty of 

 these charm- 

 ing little 

 roses is sim- 

 ply i n d e - 

 s c r i b a b le, 

 the plant 

 being com- 

 pletely stud- 

 ded with flowers and buds, both perfectly double and 

 semi-double, and of the most beautiful shades of white, 

 pink and crimson. They begin blooming in little 

 plants two months from seed, every shoot bearing 

 flowers, and as the plants become older the flowers in- 

 crease in size and number until the foliage is com- 

 pletely hidden beneath the mass of blooms, which 

 cover the plant until frost, and are then succeeded by 

 clusters of charming bright red hips. It is an en- 

 tirely hardy Ever-blooming Rose that will remain 

 out of doors and increase in size and beauty from year 

 to year. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts. for 25c. 



Pink Cupid. This new variety will prove a delightful 

 companion to the dwarf White Cupid, which it resem- 

 bles in its dwarf habit and being without any climbing 

 propensity. It is but six or eight inches high yet very 

 bushy, and produces its beautiful bloom in great pro- 

 fusion. The flowers are of a bright rosy pink, with 

 wings of paler pink or almost white. Pkt., 10c; oz., 

 20c; i^lb., 60c; lb., 82.00. 



Burpee's "Beauty Cupid." Of the true Cupid type, 

 with deep emerald-green foliage and flowers fully equal 

 in size, form and sulDstance to the best of thn new tall 

 Sweet Peas. The handsome large flowers are borne 

 most profusely all over the plant in clusters of three at 

 the top of strong stems. The standard is a delicate 

 and yet decided rose color, lightening to nearly white 

 at the edges, and slightly striped with carmine at the 

 base. The wings are suffused rosy carmine, deepening 

 atthe edges. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts. for $1.00. Half pkt., 15c. 



Primrose Cupid. Identical with the original White 

 Cupid in all respects except coloring. The flowers are 

 of a rich creamy tint, identical with that of the tall 

 Primrose. The standard is rather short, but stiflBy 

 erect, very broad and well expanded; wings wide and 

 well expended. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., Sl.OO. Half pkt., 15c. 



Alice Eckford Cupid. The blooms are borne in close 

 clusters of three on stiff stems, displaying most attract- 

 ively the CL arming, blended coloring. The standards 

 are a rich, creamy white, suffused or blended with a 

 delicate shading of soft flesh-pink; the wings are sil- 

 very white with a faint pink flush in the central por- 

 tion. The coloring of the entire flower becomes rather 

 deeper, instead of fading, when well opened. The flow- 

 er is identical in size, form and color, with that of the 

 tall Alice Eckford. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00. Half 

 pkt., 15c. 



Special. The three last named are in the original 

 sealed x>0-ckets of the introducer. For 40c. Twill send 

 a half packet of the three last named and a full pack- 

 et of Pink Cupid. For 75c. I will send a full sized 

 packet of each of the four varieties. 



PERRENNIAL PEA. 



Pauline Salter. 



A novelty of great value, entirely new and distinct. 

 The plant is perfectly hardy, blooms profusely and lasts 

 a long time. The fiowers"^ are large, well formed, of a 

 delicate shell-pink color, with a shade of light lavender 

 at outer edge of petals. It is admirable for cutting, of 

 great durability, lasting much longer than the Annual 

 Pea, and as desirable as Swainsonia. Per pkt., 10c.
