Hardy Dianthus, Grass, Border or Spice Pinks. 



DWARF LARGE EARLY-FLOWERING GRASS OR SPICE PINKS.

 These are great improvements over the charming time-honored inhabitant of old fashioned 

 gardens. The flowers of this new type are much larger, are borne more profusely on shorter, stiff 

 stems. In these new Pinks we have a large variety of colors and markings; the color, of course, 

 refers to the center of the flower, the remainder being white or blush with a band of color near 

 the margin; the colors include blood-red, rose, maroon, purple, pink, blush, spotted, laced, varie- 

 gated, etc., and they commence blooming about two weeks earlier. They are excellent perennial 

 garden plants, about 1 foot high, vigorous, hardy, and flower profusely during spring and early 

 summer. The flowers are very large, double, beautifully fringed, and emit a clove-like per- 

 fume. Mixed Colors Pkt . 2 5c.

 annua! climbers, being of rapid growth, 

 having luxuriant foliage and being 

 immune from insect pests. This new 

 variety. "Julius' Knob-Kerrie" pro- 

 duces on each vine a number of Jruits 

 or gourds of fantastic share. To the 

 ball-like base — 3 to 4 inches in diame- 

 ter — is attached a slender handle or 

 stem, two and often three feet in 

 length. While developing they are

 known pendent-flowering variety. The large heart shaped lively pink . 

 flowers of this new sort stand erect and are borne in clusters on long, 

 rigid stems, and have a peculiar grace. The plants are of compact, • 

 bushy growth, about 2J-3 feet in height and are clothed with elegant

 This new introduction of Mr. Luther Burbank is— he claims — the 

 largest and best Oenothera in the world. It produces in great profusion 

 large flat, single flowers, 4 to 5 inches across and snowy-white in color. 

 It flowers the first season from seed and continues to bloom in in- 

 creasing abundance until killed by frost. The plant is semi-prostrate 

 in habit, thrives in almost any soil and is grown with the greatest ease.
