NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1888.

PRIMULA OBCONICA. 



No. 6423. A profuse blooming Primrose bearing on 

 long stems heads containing 10 to 15 Mowers. It thrives 

 in a cool house, and will grow in favor with those desiring 

 plants that will grow easily. The flowers are pure white, 

 shading occasionally to lilac, and have the true Primrose 

 fragrance. In bloom nearly the whole season. 

 Per pkt., 50 cts. 



POPPIES. 



SNOWDRIFT. No. 6377. Flowers pure snow-white, 

 very double, of large size and perfectly round. This is the 

 very best double white variety yet offered.

CRIMSON KING. No. 6378. Brilliant crimson 

 flowers, perfectly double and round as a ball. A charming 

 effect can be made by sowing this variety and Snowdrift 

 together. Per pkt., 10 cts. 



ZINNIA ROBUST! PLENISSIMA. 



No. 6784. The flowers are 5 to 6 inches across, perfectly 

 formed, very double and of striking colors. The plants 

 grow to a height of 3 feet* and remain in bloom a long 

 time. This sort is unusually robust, and is the forerunner 

 of a grand flowered section. 



Per pkt., 15 cts. ; 2 for 25 cts. 



Zebra Zinnias. 



No. 6791. This strain pre- 

 sents a new departure in Zin- 

 nias. The flowers are vari- 

 ously mottled and striped and 

 include many shades of red, 

 yellow, white, scarlet, etc. 

 The colors vary on each plant 

 and present a peculiar and 

 picturesque display. 

 Per pkt., 15 cts. ; 2 for 25 cts. 



'SNOWFLAKE" STOCK. 



No. 6603. In habit this stock closely 

 resembles the Dwarf Pyramidal ; it pro- 

 duces a vigorous main spike of uncom- 

 monly large and very double snow-white 

 flowers and, when fully developed, numer- 

 ous flowering side-shoots. Its glossy dark 

 green foliage renders the dazzling white- 

 ness of the flowers more conspicuous. It 

 is one of the earliest of the Dwarf Ten 

 Week Stocks, and is admirably adapted for 

 forcing. Seed produces about 60 per cent, 

 of double flowers. 



Per pkt., 25 cts. 



]M MipflfOTH tfEI(BEI^ 



No. '6707. The seed we offer is the true Mammoth and 

 not the large-flowering German variety. Until this season 

 it has been impossible to offer the true sort, as the seed 

 saved last year was very limited. The flowers are very 

 large, of brilliant colors and have large, distinct eyes. 

 We consider the Mammoth Verbena one of the very best 

 new things offered for many years. In coloring they excel 

 the old varieties, are of vigorous habit and free blooming, 

 and are the most attractive of the class. 



Per pkt., 25 cts. ; 5 pkts. for $1.00.
