Defiance Balsam, Lady Slipper. 



The most perfect in form and largest double flowered 

 Balsam yet developed, and by careful growth and selec- 

 tion, has attained a standard that will be found hard to 

 improve. FAre. mixture which I offer is composed in nearly 

 equal proportions of eight colors : Rose, Rose-White 

 Spotted, Pink, Scarlet, White Tinted Violet, White 

 Spotted, Scarlet White Spotted and Purple; each having 

 been grown separately. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5 cts. 



Balsam, Good Mixed. 



A splendid strain, good colors and large double flowers; 

 not equal to "Defiance, " but gives good satisfaction. Pkt., 

 JO seeds, 3 cts. 



Mrs. Tillie Slemmer, Macedon, Ohio, March 23, 1903. Writes:— 

 I raised some of your Dahlias and Asters last year and they 

 were fine. I now want to try more this year. 



BEAN, 

 SCARLET RUNNER. 

 A Favorite Old-Fash- 

 ioned Climber. 



One of the very few 

 beans that are both orna- 

 mental and useful. It 

 grows rapidly to a height 

 of ten or twelve feet, and 

 is covered from July un- 

 til heavy frost with clus- 

 ters of beautiful scarlet 

 flowers. Pkt., 10 seeds, 

 4 cts. 



FOR WINTER 

 BLOOMING. 



Do not lail to get 

 a supply of Chinese 

 Primroses for winter- 

 blooming. Do this 

 during July and 

 August, so they may 

 become well estab- 

 lished before cold 

 weather. Keep in 

 partial shade and 

 water moderately. 

 A dozen plants well 

 grown will yield a 

 whole windowf ul 

 of bloom during 

 winter. 



Mabel Blevins, Manches- 

 ter, 111., Mar. 10, 1903:-I 

 had seeds from you last 

 season and I never saw 

 finer sweet peas than we 

 raised. 



Bachelor's Button. 

 Bachelor's Button, Double. 



It has been so perfected that fully eighty 

 per cent of the flowers are double and semi- 

 double; are also increased in size and pre- 

 sent many bright colors and distinct mark- 

 ings which have hitherto been unknown in 

 this old-fashioned favorite flower. Pkt., 50 

 seeds, 4 cts. 



Iva Gearhart, Tower Hill. Til., March 23, 1903. 

 Writes:— My seeds all did well I received last 

 year. I got 18 ro<es out of 30 seeds, and had 

 several different Dahlias and Nasturtiums.
