Mignonette. Bird's Mammoth. 



No. 6096. A profuse flowering, very fragrant 

 Mignonette, bearing long and thick spikes. For 

 florists or growers for market, this variety is 

 specially adapted. 



Per pkt., 15 cts. 



MINA LOBATA. 



No. 6115. Charming half-hardy Mexican climb- 

 ing annual, closely resembling the Ipomoeas both in 

 growth and foliage, though from its flowers quite 

 distinct from that genus. In color they are as 

 singular as they are attractive ; the buds are, at 

 first, of a vivid red, but turn to orange yellow im- 

 mediately before they open, and when fully ex- 

 panded the flowers are of a creamy white shade. 

 They are freely produced from the base to the 

 summit of the plant, which attains a height of from 

 18 to 20 feet and constitutes a strikingly beautiful 

 object. Like the Cypress Vine (Ipomoea Qua- 

 moclit), with which it has much in common, this 

 rapid growing species cannot fail to become popular. 

 Per pkt., 25 cts. 



PANSY, TRIMARDEAU. 



No. 6234. An entirely new and distinct variety. 

 The plants are of strong, compact habit ; the 

 flowers are carried well above the foliage, and are 

 marked with three large blotches. They are of re- 



fined form and of a size hitherto unattained in this 

 genus. The true Trimardeau Pansies of French 

 origin, seed much less freely than any other class ; 

 the stock we offer was saved exclusively from fine 

 formed flowers of the richest colors. 



Per pkt., 50 cts.

No. 6235. When the Trimardeau Pansies were 

 sent out, it was thought that the acme of Pansy 

 culture was attained, but the beautiful strain now 

 offered far surpasses it in size. Each petal is ex- 

 quisitely stained ; the richness and depth of color- 

 ing are simply marvelous. The plants are vigorous 

 and hardy, and bear profusely, on long stalks, per- 

 fectly shaped flowers. This strain will attract 

 attention, and become popular. 



Per pkt., 50 cts. 



Eucharidinm Breweri. 



No. 5808. A beautiful plant, of dwarf spreading 

 habit and narrow lanceolate foliage. The color of 

 the flowers is a pleasing purplish rose, shading to 

 white in the centre. The broad petals overlap at 

 their margins, and are furnished with a narrow 

 tapering lobe. It flowers very profusely, and is of 

 the same easy culture as the Clarkia. 

 Per pkt., 15 cts.
