Poppy — Ryburg Hybrid 



Ryburg Hybrid 



In offering this new hybrid which is claimed to be a cross 

 between Shirley Poppy and Ranunculus Poppy we believe 

 we have one of the most desirable novelties in garden 

 annuals that has been offered in several years. 



The flowers are semi-double or double and the petals 

 beautifully fluted or crimped like Shirley Poppy. They 

 range in color through various shades of pink, salmon 

 and orange. 



The seed may be sown out of doors as early in spring as the ground can be worked or plants may be 

 started indoors and set out later. Pkt. 25c. 



Nasturtium 



It is doubtful if any other garden annual will give as much satisfaction with as little trouble and expense as 

 Nasturtiums. They are of easy culture, requiring only a light sandy soil, a sunny situation and plenty of water 

 for perfect development. In color one may find an almost endless range from sulphur yellow through shades of 

 rose, to scarlet, crimson and maroon. Many of the flowers are beautifully blotched or marked. 



The dwarf varieties are very desirable for borders or edgings and the trailing sorts if given support may be 

 used for covering arbors and trellises. They may also be grown in window boxes with good results. {See colored 

 plate, page 8j, and list of varieties, page 86.) 



Sweet Peas^ — Early Flowering Spencers 



■ This class is now recognized as having a permanent place in the list of desirable sweet peas. The flowers 

 have all the excellent qualities of the later flowering Spencers but will bloom a full month or more earlier and 

 furnish an abundance of flowers during a very long season. They are equally valuable for growing under glass 



or for planting nutdoors. {S^ee further description, pa^e 96^'

Celosia — Childsi (Chinese Woolflower) 



Celosia — Childsi 



{Chinese Woolflower) 



A new and very attractive form of Celosia 

 with large, globular, purplish crimson flowers 

 which resemble a ball of brilliantly colored 

 wool. The plants are vigorous growing, two 

 to three feet high and branch freely, each 

 branch terminating in a flower head. A bed 

 of these plants when in full bloom make a 

 gorgeous showing and even a few plants set 

 in a mixed border will be found a valuable 

 addition. They are of easy culture and con- 

 tinue in bloom from early summer until killed 

 by frost. Seed may be sown out of doors as 

 soon as the ground is warm and dry or plants 

 may be started indoors and transplanted to 

 place when weather is settled. {See cut on 

 this page and further description, page 77)
