 immense, long-stemmed, rich yellow flowers, shaded with orange, flowering 

 in profusion for a long period during the summer; unequalled for cutting;

CYPRESS VINE 



These beautiful twining annual climbers are not as much grown as they 

 deserve. Seed started in pots early in the house or notbed, and the seed- 

 lings set out in the garden after danger from frost, will make plants 20 feet 

 high and be completely covered for 3 months or more with beautiful star- 

 shaped tubular flowers borne in clusters that contrast effectively against 

 the feathery, Fern-like bright green foliage. Sown in the open ground they 

 will of course commence flowering later. In the latter event the hard 

 shelled seed should be soaked in hot water.

DAHLIAS FROM SEED 



It is not generally realized that most beautiful Dahlias may be grown and 

 flowered in late summer and autumn from spring-sown seed. Many of them, 

 differing from any of the named varieties on the market, and some'from 

 seed are equally beautiful, the production of novel forms and combinations 

 of colorings being most interesting. One of our customers, Mr. A. P. Updike, 

 Reno, Nev., writes us thus: " 3y planting a packet of your choice Dahlia 

 seed this spring, I was successful in raising such beauties that I secured the 

 First Premium — a gold medal — at the Nevada State Fair."

"The Dahlia seeds I bought of you last Spring were certainly great. The 

 first one bloomed on the 2Sth of July and they kept blooming until frost. I 

 bought the seed merely out of curiosity, as I had not the faintest idea they 

 Would bloom the first year."
