FREESIfl REFRACTA 



This favorite flower 

 comes easy and quick 

 from seed. Sow the 

 seed now and have 

 blooming- bulbs for 

 winter. Very fragrant. 



Pkt, 50 seeds, 5 c. 



FUCHSI A. Double and Single Mixed. 



My seeds of this beautiful plant have 

 been saved from a splendid collection 

 of named sorts. Sow in March in shal- 

 low pots and transplant when large 

 enough. Double and single named 

 sorts. Pkt., 25 seeds, I Oc. 



CAPE FU SHS8fl, PHYGELIUS CflPEHSlS. 



During our past dry summer this was never out of bloom, 

 while geraniums alongside of it were perishing. When barely 

 a few inches high, bears from 10 to 20 bold, long spikes, com- 

 pletely crowded with showy, scarlet drooping flowers, persist- 

 ently produced from May until winter, and even then in the 

 house. This is a good plant for bedding and for winter bloom- 

 ing. Pkt, 50 seeds, 6e. 





MARVEL OF PERU. Variegated Leaved. 



(Four O'clock.) 



This new variety makes a very ornamental plant when planted 

 alone or in rows. The leaves and flowers are very beautifully 

 variegated— white, creamy white and green. Many plants cost- 

 ing large sums of money do not compare in beauty and variety 

 with this plant. 



Pkt., 40 seeds, 6c; oz., 20c. 



MARVEL OF PERU, 

 4c; oz., 15c. 



MIXED, all colors. Pkt., 40 seeds, 



SWEET SCENTED FOUR O'CLOCK (Longifiora) — 



Long tubular sweet scented flowers. White and purple. 

 Pkt. , 40 seeds, 5c; oz., 15c 



MULTIFLORA— Very distinct Four O'clock. Produces clus- 

 ters or bouquf ts of 9 to 12 large violet flowers. Perfectly hardy. 

 Pkt., 31 seeds, 6c 



M5RVITL OF PERU f Mirabilis — The improved Four 

 O'clock is one of our most desirable plants. It grows in any soil 

 and under any treatment. Planted like peas, they soon make a 

 row of plants smothered with flowers, which have the strange 

 habit of remaining closed until exactly 4 o'clock, when they 

 burst out in their glory. For planting where other flowers will 

 not grow, and ease of* cultivation, nothing equals them. The 

 roots are hardy and perennial, growing from year to year. They 

 can also be wintered in the cellar. 



This is not only curious, but one of the very best trail- 

 ing plants we have for house, basket, vase, or window. 

 Foliage small and thick. Flowers curious in shape ; 

 color red, with blue anthers. Mixed with the blooms 

 in great quantities, appear bright red berries a little 

 larger than cherries, which stay on for nearly six 

 months. Pkt, 15 seeds, 10c
