X RUDBECKI A BICOLOR 

 SUPERBA. 



This novelty is a 

 most distinct flower 

 and should receive 

 a hearty welcome. 

 A splendid addition 

 to the already large 

 list of annuals; yet 

 there is always room 

 for such gran d 

 acquisitions. It 

 grows about two 

 feet high, branches 

 freely, producing 

 handsome long- 

 stemmed flowers in 

 great abundance. 

 The disk is brown, 

 ray florets yellow 

 with large velvety - 

 brown Bpots at the 

 base; forming a 

 very showy and 

 effective combina- 

 tion. Splendid for 

 cutting. Pkt., 10c; 

 3 pkts., 25c. 



A splendid plant for fall blooming, of the easiest culture and 

 grows from 4 to 6 feet high, with abundant lace-like foliage 

 and blooming very freely; being covered with chaste, beautiful 

 flowers of large size, of the various shades of white, pink, and 

 dark red. Admirable for cutting and other decorative pur- 

 poses.

Middlesex Co.. Mass. 

 The plants and seeds which I bought of you last season 

 have proved very satisfactory. We are often warned not to 

 buy low-priced seeds or plants, but those purchased of you 

 have given as good results as some that cost much more. 

 Several hundred bunches of blossoms were cut from the Sweet 

 Peas which I had of you, and such nice variety too.
