Sweet Peas, and Seeds of Greenhouse Plants. 



New Dwarf White Sweet Pea. " Cupid." 



SWEET PEAS. 



Fashion does not always display so much good taste in her choice 

 of a "pet flower" as when giving the Sweet Pea that place. 

 Already they have become so popular that seedsmen must handle 

 their seeds by the ton, and they are grown galore in hedges, sold in 

 great fragrant heaps from the markets, and worn and carried when- 

 ever and wherever possible. Every garden must have its hedge of 

 Sweet Peas, and we are ready to supply you with the best of seed.

SEEDS OF GREENHOUSE PLANTS 



The rarest and handsomest Stove and Greenhouse Plants may be 

 grown from seed by any amateur who will be careful, first, to pro- 

 cure good seed, then to sow it carefully and tend it well. Directions 

 for culture are printed on all our seed packets, and the seed con- 

 tained in them is fresh and of strong germinating power. 



ANGELONIA GRANDI FLORA . 



The flowers of this plant are bright scarlet, spotted with white, 

 cup shaped, and borne on long spikes. It may be used for garden 

 bedding, as well as for pot-culture and house decoration. 25 cts. 

 per pkt. 



BEGONIAS. 



Begonias are now grown in such large quantities, both for summer 

 bedding and winter flowers, that many people prefer sowing the 

 seed to buying the plants. We offer species which are especially 

 adapted for bedding, and are also handsome window plants. 

 Begonia Vernon. A dark-leaved variety ; valuable for bedding. 

 The plant is strong, dwarfish and branching in habit, and the 

 coral-red flowers cover it thickly all summer long. Equally 

 valuable for pot-culture and winter decoration. 25 cts. per pkt. 

 B. — Tuberous-rooted Mixed, Single. Fresh seed, from fine 

 plants ; will give large flowers of various shapes and colors. The 

 tubers must be lifted and stored in dry sand in a dry, warm 

 place in autumn. 25 cts. per pkt. 



B. — Mixed Double. Seed saved from a fine collection of large- 

 flowering varieties. 25 cts. per pkt. 



CALCEOLARIAS.^4 



The curiously shaped and oddly marked flowers of these plants 

 at once attract notice. 



Calceolaria grandiflora. Large-flowering, self-colored varie- 

 ties ; a great diversity of colors. Mixed seed, 50 cts. per pkt. 



C. rugosa. Shrubby plants, bearing a great profusion of small, 

 bright flowers ; very shy-seeding. 25 cts. per pkt. 



HARDY CARNATIONS. 



A large proportion of the plants will produce flowers as large, 

 double, fragrant and brilliantly colored as those from purchased 

 plants of named varieties. The Vienna and Grenadin species are 

 excellent for open air culture, and bloom several weeks earlier 

 than the other sorts. 



Early-flowering Vienna, Flowers of all colors. Choice mixed, 

 25 cts. per pkt. 



Early Grenadin. Bright scarlet flowers, 60 to 70 per cent of 



them double ; very early flowering. 25 cts. per pkt. 

 Perpetual, or Tree. Tall plants, continually in flower. Our 



seed is a choice mixture, and will produce 75 per cent of double 



flowers. 20 cts. per pkt. 

 Double Self-Colors. Elegant, fragrant, fringed flowers, of pure 



and beautiful colors. 10 cts. per pkt. 

 Margaret Carnations. See Annuals for Bloom the First Season. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SEED. 



The beautiful seedling 

 Chrysanthemums exhibited 

 everywhere at autumn 

 shows have encouraged 

 many amateurs to try 

 growing the plants from 

 seed, and this is very 

 easily done. If the seed is 

 sown early and kept warm 

 and moist until it germi- 

 nates, and the plants are 

 carefully tended, they will 

 give handsome flowers the 

 first year. Often chance 

 seedlings are of the very 

 finest form and color. 

 Fine Mixture. From 



choice flowers of Chinese 



and Japanese sorts. 25 



cts. per pkt.
