PETUNIA, HOWARD'S STAR. 



flignonette Goliath. Of compact, dwarf habit, rich green 

 foliage and spikes of immense size ; well colored and highly 

 scented. Trade packet, 25 cents ; oz., $1.00. 



flignonette Defiance. When grown under favorable 

 conditions, spikes will not only be of remarkable size — 

 from 12 to 15 inches long — but deliciously fragrant. The 

 individual florets are of immense size, forming a graceful as 

 well as compact spike. Of extraordinary keeping qualities, 

 retaining their grace and fragrance until every bud opens. 

 Trade packet, 15 cents ; oz., 50 cents. 



Nasturtium Ivy=leaved. Undoubtedly one of the finest 

 climbing Nasturtiums ever introduced, and is worth growing 

 if only for the effect of its dark-blue-green, ivy-like foliage ; 

 but added to this it bears freely, deep blood-red fringed 

 blossoms, which are extremely effective against the dark 

 colored foliage. 25 cents per oz. 



Pentstemon Pulchellus Hybridus. A new hybrid of this 

 beautiful perennial, a cross between P. gentiaiioides and P. ! 

 pulchellus, which should be treated as an annual ; sown in j 

 early spring and planted out in May, the plants grow to a 

 height of 2 to 3 feet, forming pyramidal bushes, with erect branches 

 thickly set with flowers, \ l / 2 inches long, varying in all shades from 

 rosy- white and chamois to purple and violet, with pure white or veined 

 throats ; in full bloom from July until frost. 10 cents per packet. 



Petunia Howard's Star. The introducers of this beautiful selection of 

 medium-flowering multiflora Petunias describe them as follows : 



Their ground color is a dark crimson maroon, with a rich velvety texture, 

 justly pronounced equal to that of Pansy. From the centre starts the 

 points of a five-rayed star. This star is a very light blush-pink, some 

 almost white, which deepens in color as it reaches the margin, and finally 

 blends with the maroon ground color. Over 80 per cent, of the plants 

 from seed will produce the star markings. Others with veined and 

 feathery markings on dark or light ground are not less suprisingly 

 beautiful. The plants are free growers, branching freely and attaining an 

 average height of 18 by 24 inches in diameter. They are remarkably 

 prolific bloomers, single plants often having one hundred or more fully 

 expanded flowers at a time. 



We have seen flowers of this strain, and can fully endorse the above 

 description. Full size pkts. (containing not less than 150 seeds), 25 cts.; 

 5 packets for $1.00, or 12 packets for $2.00. 



Dreer's Superb Fringed Petunias. We have long been celebrated for 

 our unrivaled collection of Petunias, which we endeavor to improve each 

 year by careful selection and hybridization. The seed of the doubles 

 which we offer will produce a large percentage of the finest double- 

 fringed varieties. 



Dreer's Superb Double-fringed, 500 seeds, 75 cts.; 1000 seeds, $1.50. 

 '' " Single " Trade packet, 50 cts. 



Primula Obconica Fimbriata Carmine. This new variety is the 

 brightest colored of the type, and should become a favorite at once. 

 17 cents per packet. 



PRIMULA, OBCONICA FIMBRIATA CARMINE. 



Rudbeckia Bicolor Superba Semiplena. This novelty 

 represents semi-double or nearly double- flowering varieties 

 of the Rudbeckia Bicolor Superba introduced in 1898. The 

 plants form elegant bushes of 2 to 2.y z feet in height, 

 covered with large, semi-double, golden-yellow to brownish- 

 yellow flowers, which have a central dark-brown ring and 

 disk. They closely resemble in size and form the double- 

 flowering Zinnias, and make a gorgeous effect in beds or 

 borders, and are very useful for cutting purposes. 10 cents 

 per packet. 



Mammoth Verbena " Aurora Borealis." We have for 

 several years endeavored to secure stock of this most 

 valuable variety, but have not succeeded until this year. 

 It is without doubt the finest of all Verbenas. The growth 

 of the plant is stocky and vigorous, with deep green, rough 

 foliage. The flowers are of enormous size, many being 

 over an inch in diameter, and are borne in fine trusses. 

 The color is an intense carmine scarlet, quite distinct, and 

 can be seen at a considerable distance ; a really valuable 

 novelty. 17 cents per packet ; 3 packets for 50 cents. 



RUDBECKIA, BICOLOR SUPERBA SEMIPLENA.
