FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES 



EM^MttimiW^ 



GIANT-FLOWERING 



HYBRID GERANIUM. 



A strain of seed saved from grand new Hybrids all greatly enlarged and 

 improved. The flowers are extra large, round, of the most perfect form, 

 borne in splendid trusses, some of them forming balls 16 inches in circum- 

 ference. The colors include shades of scarlet and crimson, rose, pink, salmon, 

 cream veined pink, blush, snowy-white and all of the new auriole types. These 

 all stand the hot sun, and, although perennials, they will produce nice bushy 

 plants and flower from seeds sown the same season. The gorgeous flowers, 

 borne continuously, render these most popular plants for pot culture in winter 

 or for bedding out in summer. 12 to 18 inches high.

The heads of blossoms of this new type often 



measure a foot across; the plants 18 inches high, are 



healthy, bushy and compact; the leaves are large and 



luxuriant. Seed sown in the spring produces full-grown, 



profuse-flowering plants by July, which flower in the 



garden until cut down by frost or are grown in pots for 



winter flowers. (See cut.)

Impatiens Holstii Nana. 



Handsome plants from East Africa, forming busljes 6 to 

 8 inches high and resembling in habit, foliage and shape 

 of flowers the popular Impatiens Sultanii, but surpass- 

 ing the latter by its quicker and more vigorous growth 

 and its much larger flowers and the greater quantity 

 produced. The flowers, 1 '4 to I'M inches across, are of 

 scarlet, orange-red, pink and white with a red eye. The 

 plants grow luxuriantly out-of-doors and form effective 

 and unusually showy flower beds by their great abundance 

 of bloom. If grown in pots they are" equally effective. 

 Sown on heat in March the seedlings may be planted out 

 end of May and will be continuously in bloom from June 

 until the frost destroys them.
