New Petunias, "Giants of California." 



A California strain of incomparable beauty, size and luxuriance. Most of the flowers are 

 exquisitely ruflled or fringed on the edges, and are of enormous dimensions (4 to 5 inches 

 across) but their great merits lie in the tremendous varieties of colors, markings, veinings, 

 blotchings and stripings, in the most grotesque and beautiful combinations; some with 

 charming deep throats of yellow, white, black, green or maroon, running off into intricate 

 veins. Some of the colors are rich and gorgeous and others of lovely delicate shades. Price 

 per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts. 



Imperial Japanese Morning Glory. 



Morning Glories are beautiful summer climbers. This novelty was sent out with the 

 assurance that it would be a surprise to all for its great beauty, variety of color and giant 

 flowers. Indeed it proved a revelation to us in our trial grounds and will be a surprise to all 

 that plant this beautiful climber. The leaves are large, heart-shaped, many of them a rich 

 dark color, marbled with silvery white or yellow. The flowers are really gigantic, being 

 double the size of the ordinary kind: their main attraction, however, is not their enormous 

 size, but their wonderful coloring. Their varieties of color are infinite, running from snowy- 

 white through all possible shades of blue, and of red from palest pink to darkest reds and pur- 

 ples. They are streaked, mottled, striped, marbled and bordered in wonderful fashion. The 

 "Imperial Japanese Morning Glories" are of the easiest culture. But as the seed is hard or 

 flinty, before sowing treat as follows: Draw a sharp knife across one edge of the seed, just 

 enough to cut through the shell, then soak in luke-warm water long enough to have seed 

 sweli to double the size they were when dry. Sow in May in a warm, sunny position in good, 

 rich soil, and give plenty of water in dry weather. Price per pkt. 5 cts. 



New Climbing Nasturtium. 



MADAME GUNTHER S HYBRIDS. 

 These new HYBRIDS OF MADAME GUNTHER flower earlier and more abundantly than 

 Tropaeolum Lobbianum. They make a stronger growth, climbing from five to six feet high, 

 and are covered from spring to fall with large, substantial flowers of the most brilliant 

 shades. They are remarkable for their wide range of colors, embracing rose, pink, salmon, 

 purple, velvety dark maroon, light yellow, and deep orange in self colors, as well as striped 

 and blotched in the most fanciful manner. So ornamental is this new strain that it deserves 

 a place in every garden, either for climbing or trailing from vases, over rock-work, etc.
