COLE'S ;garden annual 



Phlox— Large Flowering 



PHLOX— DRUMMONDIi 



Superb plants, prized for the profusion 



of their richly colored flowers of many hues, their 

 long duration in bloom, and the grand effect they 

 produce in clumps or masses. We invite parti- 

 cular attention to the Large Flowering as es 

 pecially fine. Easy of culture; 18 in. Hardy an- 



nuaL 



Alba. Pure white 5 



Coccinea. Brilliant scarlet 5 



Rosea. Beautiful rose color 5 



Fine Mixed. All varieties and colors. . 5 



Large Flowering Extra Choice Mixed. The 



most beautiful of the phloxes. Our mixture con- 

 tains a large variety of the finest and most bril- 



liant colors 8 



New Dwarf Mixed. A strain of dwarf 



and compact growth, makes desirable pot plants, 

 also for ribbon lines and massing, very beauti- 

 ful little plants 5 



Double Mixed. This variety is a profuse 

 bloomer, and of great value for bouquets. They 

 are of recent introduction and are especially de- 

 sirable for cut flowers, lasting much better than 

 the single sorts. To produce the best results they 

 should be grown in a light soil. About 80 per 

 cent of the seed sown will be double 8 



Star of Quedlinburg. A very striking 



novelty. The center of the petals, five in num- 

 ber, run into a point, thus giving the flowers a 

 regular star-like form. The plant grows about 18 

 inches high, of compact habit, and bears large 

 umbels of flowers, of many brilliant colors, and 

 the edges of the petals bordered with broad white 

 margins 5 



/ have used yon?' seeds for some twelve 

 yem'S and am well pleased with resitlts that 

 we have had. Can recommend them to 

 everyone. I. J. Atwood, Eau Clarie Co.,

Q Fringed Chinese Primrose 



PRIMULA (Chinese Primrose) 



A charming and profuse flowering plant and one 

 of the most desirable of house blooming plants, and 

 will richly compensate for the little care they re- 

 quire. They are in almost constant bloom all win- 

 ter, and if the plants are transferred to a shady 

 border they will bloom nearlj' all summer. Care 

 should be taken in watering that no water fall on 

 the buds as it causes them to rot. Greenhouse per- 

 ennial. 



Chinese Primrose. Choice fringed varie- 

 ties mixed; the seed we offer is saved from one 

 of the finest collections; 6 in 10 



RICINUS (Castor Oil Bean) 



Ornamental plant of stately growth and pictur- 

 esque foliage, with brilliant-colored fruit, producing 

 a sub-tropical effect; fine for lawns, massing, or cen- 

 ter plants for ribbon beds. Half-hardy annuals. 

 Zanz'bariensis. The largest castor bean 

 in cultivation. An entirely new class from Africa, 

 with leaves often measuring 2 feet across, some 

 of them being light green, others bronze brown.. 5

 ieties mixed , 4
