HEW DWARF GOLDEN YELLOW FLOWERING PEft. 



(Crotolaria Retusa.) 



The flowers of this exquisitely beautiful annual are of rich 

 golden yellow color, of the true'Sweet Pea form and as large as 

 the Eckford's varieties. The flowers are of firm substance and 

 grow in racemes, fox-glove style, and often produce over 40 blos- 

 soms on one spike. Itblooms "profusely throughout the summer 

 and until killed by frost It is a low growing, branching plant; 

 every branch and branchlet ending in racemes six to ten 

 inches long, of these beautiful golden Sweet Pea like flowers. 

 The oval leaves are smooth, of the darkest green, and the 

 flowers are followed by clusters of short smooth pods, in which, 

 when shaken, the seeds sound like a child's rattle. It is best to 

 start the seeds in the window or hot-bed, first soaking them in 

 luke-warm water for about twelve hours.

CHINESE LANTERN 



PLANT. 



Physalis Francheti. 



This singularly handsome New 

 Chinese Plant is as easily grown 

 from seed as a tomato, but is per-' 

 fectly hardy outside over winter. 

 It prbduces"a large number of bal- 

 loon-like husks, 3 to 3% inches 

 across. At first these are a bright 

 green, then light to bright yellow, 

 then orange and scarlet. " They 

 greatly resemble in this last stage, 

 miniature Chinese lanterns when 

 lighted. The branches covered 

 with husVs, are used with great 

 effect as parlor ornaments, as they 

 remain bright and fresh looking 

 for over a year. As a Christmas tree 

 decoration, nothing could be more 

 unique or attractive. They are 

 very handsome when arranged in 

 tall vases together with dried 

 grasses.
