CLEOME PUNGENS. 

 The Giant Spider Plant. 



A robust plant, growing vigorously four to five feet 

 high, unaffected by wind or weather, and flowering pro- 

 fusely and continuously for months. In fact, it is a 

 perpetual bloomer, the spikes continuing to increase 

 in size as the plant grows, until they reach upward of 

 two feet in length. The flowers are very showy, bright 

 rose color; grows freely from seed sown in the open 

 ground, thrives luxuriantly, and blooms all summer, 

 no matter how unfavorable the season may be. It is 

 also one of the best honey producing plants, and 

 should be planted liberally by all bee-keepers. Pkt., 100 

 seeds, 4 cents. 



Candytuft, Snow Queen. 



CANDYTUFT, Snow Queen. 



A valuable and distinct species of great beauty. It is an an- 

 nual variety and grows very rapidly, quickly coming into 

 bloom, remaining in full flower for about three months. It 

 bears but little foliage, and the mass of white produced makes 

 it useful for borders. Pkt,, 100 seeds, 4 cents. 



CANDYTUFT— mixed all colors. Pkt., 100 seeds, 3 cents. 



CALCEOLARIA, Hybrida. 



A favorite and universally admired plant, remarkable for 

 their large, beautifully spotted blossoms, which are very 

 showy, and from which an almost countless number of hy- 

 brids have been raised. They are perennial, are grown in pots 

 in the conservatorv, greenhouses and gardens. Mixed colors. 

 Pkt., 100 seeds, 8 bents. 



Nellie M. Lee, Niantic, Conn., Oct. 2d, 1S96, writes :— Last spring I ordered quite a variety 

 of seed from you, it being my first attempt to raise flowers from seeds, and never before 

 have I derived so much pleasure as from this method of flower culture. I think for an am- 

 ateur I had fairly good success with most of the seeds, some of them far exceeded my ex- 

 pectations. From the 50 Cineraria seeds I raised 48 plants. Only U of the Marguerite Car- 

 nations germinated, but they have grown to be immense plants and to-day 1 counted iT.i' 

 buds on them, one plant alone having 65 buds.
