Double Portulaca 



RAINBOW CORN 



An improved, fancy strain, as beautiful 

 and decorative as the Dracaenas. In some 

 the leaves are variegated, like those of the 

 striped grass, in others there will be broad 

 stripes of crimson, yellow, white and other 

 rainbow colors. Nothing like it for decora- 

 tive purposes, either for the garden or for 

 cutting where large effects are desired, or 

 in the center of a tropical bed, or a screen 

 against a fence, or a background in a bor- 

 der. 4 feet. Pkt., 25 seeds, 5c. 



PORTULACA 



DOUBLE PORTULACA. Mixed. Low trail- 

 ing annuals, with double flowers like charm- 

 ing little roses. Many brilliant colors. Pkt., 

 200 seeds, 8c; 1-16 oz., 30c. 

 SINGLE PORTULACA. Mixed. Pretty to 

 mass in a bed or on some sunny slope. 

 Pkt., 400 seeds, 5c; % oz., 10c. 



PERLLLA 



A Coleus-like decorative plant, with orna- 

 mental leaves, sometimes of bronzy purple, 

 others of an extra deep reddish purple and 

 many with frilled edges. Pretty for the 

 border where tall effects are desired, or to 

 edge a bed of Cannas or Castor Beans. lVi 

 feet. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c; *4 oz., 15c. 



SCARLET RUNNER 



Highly ornamental as well as useful, both 

 in foliage and flower and as pretty a climber 

 as many of its more aristocratic neighbors, 

 and the beans are good for the table if one 

 wishes. Pkt., 12 seeds, 5c; oz., 10c. 

 WHITE RUNNER. Blossoms pure white. 

 Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c. 



SCHIZANTHUS 



(Butterfly Flower) 



It is a quick germinating annual and li 

 soon in bloom after planting. Its flowers 

 are airy and of the lighter shades of pinks, 

 yellows and lavenders. It is good for bor- 

 der work, and in front of tall flowers. Make 

 good pot plants from seed if sown in the 

 fall. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 15c. 



POLYANTHA 



"BABY" ROSE 



Rosa Polyantha Multiflora Nana, or 

 "Little Midget," or Baby Rose, is a 

 charming hardy little plant about 10 

 inches high, bearing clusters of minute 

 roses only an inch across, double, semi- 

 double or sometimes single. The many 

 flowered clusters look like a mass of 

 double crab-apple blossoms. We have 

 taken pains to secure the best seeds and 

 true to name. Not all the Rosa Poly- 

 antha seed is of this dwarf, early-flower- 

 ing variety. It blooms the first season, 

 though not attaining perfection until the 

 second year. Pkt., 35 seeds, 8c.
