 pink, white, variegations, etc. As will be seen by our

NEW DWARF MARGARET CARNATION. 



COCKSCOMB 

 NEW DWARF 



QUEEN. 



We now o ff er 

 for the first time the 

 Ne w DwarfQueen 

 Cockscomb, and recom- 

 mend it as the finest and 

 most improved variety 

 of its class yet sent out 

 in this country. The 

 very dwarf plants run 

 6 to 8 inches in height, 

 well balanced and firmly 

 set in the ground. Heads 

 10 to 12 inches across 

 and remarkably uni- 

 form. A row presents 

 an unusualiy solid effect 

 in color. As will be seen 

 by our illustration, the 

 heads are of the highest 

 type, and look more like 

 a curious ornament 

 made out of ruby-red 

 plush than a head of 

 bloom. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 

 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

NEW JAPANESE 

 CRIMSON 



COCKSCOMB. 



This beautiful and 

 distinct class of Cocks- 

 combs will give great 

 satisfaction. They grow 

 about 2 feet in height and 

 produce pyramidal 

 masses of brilliai t scar- 

 lety-crimson combs, 

 which are cut and ruf- 

 fled like fine lace; a 

 clump of these gorgeous 

 annuals will show to fine 

 advantage in the centre 

 of a large flower bed. 

 We would advise plant- 

 ing both varieties togeth- 

 er, as the contrast 

 between the fiery crim- 

 son and vivid orange is 

 r<.markable. Per pkt., 

 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 

 cts.
