Centaurea Marguerite. 



NEW CENTAUREA MARGUERITE. 



The most Fragrant and Longest Keeping Cut 

 Flower. 



One of the most valuable introductions of late 

 years. The flowers are the size of a medium Carna- 

 tion, freely produced on long stems, which renders 

 them valuable for cutting: color pure white, pale 

 sulphur yellow and lavender. The flowers are sweet 

 scented, 'and their lasting quality after being cut is 

 remarkable. The plants grow about eighteen inches 

 high and are of the easiest culture: from spring 

 sown seed they commence to flower in July and con- 

 tinue until late in the autumn. This novelty is en- 

 tirely distinct from all other Centaureas, and un- 

 doubtedly the most beautiful variety known. Pkt., 

 40 seeds, 4 cts. 



CENTROSEMA GRAN- 

 DIFLORA. 



A hardy perennial vine which 

 will bloom in June or July 

 from seed sown in April, and 

 bears in the geatest profusion 

 inverted pea-shaped flowers, 

 from l}i to I 1 2 inches in_ dia- 

 meter, ranging in color from 

 a rosy violet to a reddish pur- 

 ple, with a broad feathered 

 white marking through the 

 center, while the large buds 

 and back of the flowers are 

 pure white, making it appear 

 as if one plant bore many diff- 

 erent colored flowers at one 

 time, Pkt., 20 seeds, 4 cts. 



COCCINEA INDICA. 



A remarkably pretty climb- 

 er. Ivy-like foliage' bright 

 and luxuriant, never troubled 

 with insects, and admirably 

 adapted for trellises, arbors, 

 etc. The small flowers are 

 soon followed by numerous 

 fruits two inches" long, which 

 turn to brilliant scarlet, spot- 

 ted with white, rendering the 

 vine very pretty. Pkt., 20 

 seeds, 4 cts. 



COB/EA SCANDENS, 



Although it does grandly 

 outside, it is also a splendid 

 house climber, and will do 

 well running over windows 

 in the house, and will reward 

 the grower with an abundance 

 of beautiful, large, bell-shaped 

 flowers, green at first, but 

 rapidh- changing to a beauti- 

 ful deep violet blue. A well 

 established plant will run 

 thirtv to fortv feet in a season. 

 Pkt.*, 12 seeds, 4 cts. 



Miss Edith M. Moore ; East Springfield. Pa., March Sth. 1S97. writes:— This is the third year we have ord- 

 erd our flower seeds of you, our Sweet William's were beautiful and so double they looked like Oerani- 

 ums. Cobaea Scandens was magnificent, growing nearly 75 feet in length and completely filled with buds 

 and blossoms until frost.
