SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus). 



New and improved varieties of this old-fashioned 

 io^ver are now offered, producing large heads of 

 "vai'ied colors. Its fragrance and early flowering 

 add to its popularity, while its hardiness especially 

 adapts it for the perennial bed. Although a hardy 

 perennial, the new plants do better, and seed 

 should be sown every year or two. Finest double 

 and single, mixed, including the Nigricans, a 

 liandsome new, dark velvety red variety. Pkt., 

 100 seeds, 2 cts. 



SNOWFLAKE STOCKS. 



A superb, large- flowered variety, bearing 

 snowy white flowers, splendid for cutting

 pact spike and bloom from early spring to late 

 fall. Also listed as "Princess Alice, " or "Cut- 

 and Come Again" Stock. Pkt. , 50 seeds, 5 cts. >

 erally sold only by the florist, but

 form by pinching back. The foli- 

 age is slender and fern-like, and

 twenty-five in a bunch. It is al- 

 most never without flowers. Pe-
