ESCHSCHOLTZIA, 



or Giant California Poppy. The 



Eschscholtzia is one of the hard- 

 iest and most easily grown of our annuals. It is also a very 

 showy one. growing rapidly and coming into bloom soon after the 

 plants are above ground. The foliage is finely cut and handsome 

 and the flowers exceedingly showy, large and freely produced. 

 It is a fine flower for blooming in pots, especially in winter. For 

 winter blooming sow seed in November or December in pots of 

 light, rich soil. They will bloom in 30 to 40 days and last all 

 winter. Pkt. 150 seeds, 4c. 



FIIPHOPRIA Heterophylla, or Annual Poinsettia. This 

 uwrnviyuin. grand plant is often called Mexican Fire 

 Plant, Painted Leaf, or Fire on the Mountain. Grows two or 

 three feet high with a branching, bush-like form, with smooth 

 glossy, fiddle-shaped leaves, which are at first entirely green, 

 out about mid-summer, at the end of each branch, appear green- 

 ish-white flowers, enveloped in beautiful orange-scarlet bracts, 

 and the surrounding leaves are either blotched with vivid car- 

 mine, or are carmine with green tips. It is an annual plant, but 

 should be started early, so it will have sufficient time to develop 

 its brilliant colors. Pkt. 50 seeds, 6c. 



EVENING PRIHROSE, 



or Oenothera. Large, 

 saucer-shaped blooms of 

 the purest white, or softest, richest shades of yellow 

 and deliciously fragrant. The swollen buds expand at 

 dusk with a sudden "snap" that always delights the 

 children and interests the adults. Seed can be sown in 

 the open ground, and plants will soon be in bloom. Pkt. 

 100 seeds, 3c. 



EVERLASTING GRASSES. 



These are justly 

 very popular, 

 not only for their summer display in the garden, but they retain 

 their beauty for years by being cut and dried, and made up into 

 various artistic and varied forms for parlor and festive decora- 

 tions, and used at a time when it is difficult to have cut flow- 

 ers. I have the choicest mixture, the best and most useful 

 " Everlastings" to be had. Pkt. 5c. 



F*FN7I I A Tile P^nts do not grow over 3 inches high, but 

 X unx<uiri spread out like a Portulaca, in this way form- 

 ing a perfect mat of fine foliage and branches, which are thick- 

 ly covered at all times with perfectly charming blossoms of 

 lovely colors. Fine for growing in pots. Pkt. 5c. 



FERNS. A ^ aon " tlle most beautiful of all decorative plants. 

 v * Useful for winter decoration, baskets, wardian 

 cases, rock work, and for cool, shadv situations in the garden, 

 also very useful for pot culture in the house. They are easily 

 grown from the seed and give tie best satisfaction, if care is 

 used in planting. Splendid mixed, pkt. 10c. 



FE VF P. FF W Still a favorite with evervone. as nothing 

 v has been found that will just fill their 



place. They are annuals and bloom early from seed, continuing 



all summer. The flowers are of a fine size, very double, and 



pure white, ar d blooms so profusely as to almost cover the plant. 



They also do imely as pot plants for winter bloomine. 

 WHITE GEM— This is the very finest and most beautiful of all 



double white varieties. Pkt. 10c. 

 GOLDEN FLEECE— This variety is especially adapted for edging 



beds, as the foliage is beautifully serrated, of a rich golden color. 



Flowers smaller and pure white. Pkt. 4c. 



FORGFT = nF = NOT or Myosotis. One of the most 

 vrivv-ii^ 1 HL, charming and beautiful of all 



plants, either for open ground culture or for the house. The 

 foliage is light and graceful, while the dainty little flowers, star- 

 like in form, are of the most delicate shade bf blue, a reflection 

 of the heaven itself. There are so few blue flowers, and these 

 are so indescribably dainty, thev should be in every collection. 

 It blossoms quickly from seed. Pkt. 100 seeds, 4c. 



FOUR O'CI OCK or Mirabilis. Often called Marvel 

 ^ VUV/V/IV ' of Peru. A handsome plant, both 

 in foliage and flower combined ; their colors are vivid and of 

 great variety. The flowers open in the afternoon thereby deriv- 

 ing the name "Four o'Clock." It is one of the most brilliant 

 and showy plants that can be grown with little or no trouble. 

 Pkt. 15 seeds, 3c. 



One of our special favorites. 

 This, with the double Hollvhock and Del- 

 phinium, form a stately trio of fine tall growing plants, indeed 

 nothing finer can be chosen for back-grounds, center of wide bor- 

 ders, interspersing with shrubbervT etc. If plants are not al- 

 lowed to seed, they are crowned for months bv Ions pvramidal 

 spikes of lovely pendent thimble-shaped bells, snowVhite. rosv 

 blush, exquisitely shaded and spotted. Seeds can be started 

 in house and young plants transplanted to earden. Pkt. 4c.
