EVEM.YTHIHG FOK THE GARDSH « Flower Seeds %- 



SCHIZANTHUS 



Wonderful showy annuals; very decorative for garden beds and unsurpassed in pots 

 for the conservatory, where, by successive sowing, a continuous display may be enjoyed 

 almost the year round. The plants are of compact, branchy growth, 1}4 to 2 feet 

 high, and are literally sheeted ■nath exquisite, butterfly-like flowers, much larger than 

 those of the ordinary Schizanthus, and include beautiful new color combinations. 

 {See engraving.) 



3670 Dr. Badger's Giant Flowering Hybrids. A superb new strain, growing robust 

 and bushy, 1 ^2 to 2 feet in height, with handsome bright green Fern-hke foliage. 

 The flowers, borne in prodigal profusion, are uniisually large, measuring from 

 1 to lf-4 inches across; they are of much substance — very lasting — and 

 show fan endless variety of bright colorings. The light varieties of white, 

 pink, buff -rose or yellow have beautifully marked centers, zoned by a deeper 

 shade. The darker sorts are of purple, mauve or red, with center lines of yellow 



- or white, margined by a deep tone of the ground color Pkt. 2oc. 



3675 Wisetonensis Hybrids, Large-flowering, Mixed Colors. Beautiful colors and 

 combinations in great variety Pkt. 10c. 



STOCKS, "BEAUTY" OR "GIANT NICE" 



The plants are of fine symmetrical habit, bushy, and in flower stand about IJ^ to 

 2 feet in height. The numerous side branches each carry a tall, strong spike well 

 furnished with unusually large and very double clove-scented flowers. Decorative 

 whether grown in flower beds, garden borders or as potted specimens. They do not 

 flower as quickly from seed sowing as Ten-week Stocks, the "Beauties" requiring 

 from 12 to 15 weeks, but after they commence blooming their long-continued profusion 

 is phenomenal. Seed started early in the spring in a hotbed or greenhouse and the 

 seedlings transplanted in the garden in May will begin flowering in July and continue 

 to bloom until frozen. Late sown plants, if carefully lifted and potted in the fall 

 will continue to fiower beautifully in ^-indow garden or conservatory during the 

 winter, though when grown especially for "winter flowering — for which "Beauty" 

 Stocks are peculiarly adaptable, it is better to sow the seed in July or August. As 

 cut flowers "Beauty" Stocks are imsurpassable, their splendid trusses of bloom lend 

 themselves to table and other floral decorations and the fragrant flowers are of lasting 

 substance.
