The improved or dwarf Tom Thumb varieties offered 

 below are unrivaled in gorgeous color and graceful effect; 

 they can be planted in the poorest srnl, and will bloom pro- 

 fusely until after frust. A bed of Tom Thumb varieties is a 

 splendid sight; for the finest effect, we recommend sowing 

 each separate circle or row with a different color, or variety. 

 We have, however, seen be.uuiful beds and borders planted 

 entirely with mixed seed. We offer the seed in quantity vei-y 

 cheap. For tall-growing sorts, see Tropseolum, described on 

 page 99. Th(iy grow 6 to 10 ft., and make very ornamental 

 \ines. We offer this season for the first time, some beautiful 

 Tom Thumb varieties ; they are described on page 83 .

 Empress of India. — This new dwarf Tom Thumb 

 Nasturtium was awarded a first-class certificate by 

 the Royal Horticultural Society of London. Its pro- 

 fusion* of bloom and dazzling richness of color is re- 

 markable. The plants are of dwarf bushy habit, the 

 leaves being a very dirk purple, making a fitting 

 background for the brilliant crimson flowers. Per 

 oz., 60 cts ^o 10 



Cloth of Gold (see cut). — A valuable new variety. 

 Very scarce. The foliage is of bright golden yellow, 

 which, with the intense scarlet flowers borne in great 

 profusion, makes an unusually attractive display.. . 15

 50wn in hot-bedsor boxes, and

Nicotiana Affinis. — 



A new ornamental 

 variety, of the To- 

 bacco family, very- 

 distinct. It pro- 

 duces splendid, 

 pure white, Bou- 

 vardia-like flowers, 

 on long terminal 

 tubes. When its 

 large flowers are 

 fully expanded in 

 the evening and 

 early morning it 

 has a most striking 

 effect, and is so 

 fragrant that a 

 small bed will per- 

 fume the whole 

 surroimding atmos- 

 phere. If the plants 

 are taken up in the 

 Fall, cut back and 

 bloom freely all Winter in the 



Perilla Nankinensis.— This variety is* rhe best of all 

 Perillas and very valuable for bedding purposes, also 

 for general eff'ect as an ornamental plant, from its 

 beautiful metallic, bronzy purple foliage. It can be 

 raised from seed sown in the groimd where plants are 

 to grow. A very beautiful bed can be arranged by a 

 centre of Perilla. surroiuided by Tom Thumb Nastur- 

 tiums, with edgi ng of Lobelias. Per ^ oz. , 20 cts .
