Clematis, Panlculta. 



Japanese Virgin's Bower. Hardy Perennial. 



This is one of the few really good hardy climbers. The leaves 

 are of a bright, glossy green, and when in bloom it astonishes 

 with the quantity of flowers, the plant being completely hid- 

 den beneath a blanket of white hawthorn-scented blossoms; a 

 grand plant for piazzas, fences, in fact, any position where a 

 climber is wanted; it is just the thing for covering terraces or 

 embankments, does equally well in sunshine or shade, and 

 stands unrivaled as a plant for the cemetery. Soak the seed in 

 Warm water for 24 hours before sowing. Pkt., 50 seeds, 8 cts. 



Don't let the 

 Coleus Plants 

 blossom; the 

 blooms don't 

 amount to 

 anything, and 

 so much 

 strength h 

 taken from 

 the leaves.

 writes:— I am al- 

 ways pleased to 

 receive your cat- 

 alogue. It is a 

 fine memento of 

 coming spring. 

 I am always 

 pleased to have 

 you fill my ord- 

 ers.f or your seeds 

 give satisfaction. 



Mrs.M.A. Mise- 

 ner, Edwards-

 er seeds I got of 

 you last year 

 proved to be the 

 best I ever plant- 



Coleus. 



One of the best known and most universally admired 

 ornamental foliage plants, in an endless variety of col- 

 ors and shadings, indispensable for ribbon and carpet 

 bedding, or as single specimens. Coleus seed germin- 

 ates easily, and success is as sure as with an ordinary 

 annual. Pkt., 150 seeds, 5 cts. 



Cockscomb, Queen of Dwarfs. 



This is the best dwarf-growing Cockscomb; the plants 

 only grow about eight inches high, are firmly set in the 

 crown with well-balanced, large heads, ten to twelve 

 inches across. They grow very uniformly and present 

 an unusually solid effect in color, which is rich, ruby- 

 red, of extreme brilliancy. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5 cts.
