PERSIAN CYCLAMEN 



Most beautiful winter and spring flowering plants for the window and 



greenhouse. Not only are the flowers of striking beauty, but the foliage is 



also highly ornamental. 



Henderson's Giant Persian. A superior strain with flowers of largest size 

 and perfect form, displayed well above the handsome foliage; the colors 

 include crimson, rose-pink, white, dark blood-red, spotted, eyed, etc. 

 Mixed Colors Pkt. 25c. 



Double, Large-flowering. The flowers have usually 8 to 10 petals, often 12 to 

 15, which are more spreading than in single varieties. There is the same 

 range of colors, crimson, pink, white, spotted, etc. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 25c. 



Butterfly, Papilio or Victoria Cyclamen. Very large flowers with fringed 

 and fluted petals, the edges being distinguished by colorings which differ 

 from that of the body of the flower, as white with red or purple edge, 

 rose with scarlet edge, crimson with garnet or violet edge, etc... . Pkt. 25c. 



Customer's Collections of Cyclamen Seeds. Any three 25c. pkts selected 

 for 60c., or any three 35c. pkts. for 90c. 



CYPRESS VINE 



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

 deserve. Seed started in pots early in the house or hotbed, and the seedlings 

 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.

" 1 ou may like to know that J won first prize last summer in a flower garden 

 competition in this town. I give all honor for it to the magnificent plants I got
