^ ALLIOPSIS^ Lanceolata Grandiflora. 



We do not know of a more brilliant and effective flower than this. It is a 

 perennial, blooming the first j'ear from seed and producing a succession of 

 flowers about three inches in diameter, borne on long and graceful stems 

 which make them especially valuable for decorative purposes. The color is 

 a very pure and brilliant yellow and one of the brightest among garden 

 flowers. Pkt. 10 cents.

OROFF'S HYBRIDS 



3Ir. Groff is a most enthusiastic and successful cultivator of the 

 Gladiolus and has growing on his place the largest and most complete col- 

 lection of species and varieties in America, if not in the world, and under his 

 skillful care they develop remarkably well, fiimishing flowers of marvelous 

 size and beauty. He has crossed some of the finest sorts and saved the seed 

 so that we are able to offer some that is much superior to any usually ob- 

 tainable and which cannot fail to give bulbs producing exceedingly varied and 

 beautiful flowers, a good proportion of which are sure to be different from 

 any named sorts and the planter can reasonably hope to secure some supe- 

 rior to any yet known. Pkt. 35 cents. 



SALVIA ^ ^ 



GOLDEN LEAVED 



This is a variety of Salvia Splendens type of flower which comes true from seed and 

 has rich yellow leaves contrasting beautifully with the brilliant scarlet flowers. The 

 blossoms are fully as rich in color as Salvia Splendens and larger than those of the 

 common strains and borne on a somewhat more compact spike. Pkt. 25 cents. 



H ficw Dwarf Sweet pea. 

 ♦ . pink Cupid . ♦ 



The seed of this new sort is dark colored and of much better germinating power than the white seed of the original 

 Cupid. The plant is also stronger and a more abimdant bloomer with longer stems and larger flowers. In color they are 

 Uke the well known Blanche Ferry Sweet Pea and the plant and flower seem to partake of the practical usefulness of that 

 splendid sort, which was originally introduced by us in 1889, It seems to us that with these good qualities this new dwarf pea 

 cannot fail to become one of the' most popular sorts. It is desirable both for pot culture and planting in the open ground 

 and valuable also as an edging plant. A bed of it is siu-e to be one of the brightest spots in the garden. We urge all our 

 customers to try it.
