NIEREMBERGI A (Annua/) 



Hippomanica 



3054 We can cordially recommend this beau- 

 tiful little Solanaceous plant as an 

 admirable subject for greenhouse deco- 

 ration. Not more than 4 to 6 inches 

 high, it forms a cushion of elegant light 

 green foliage from which emerge 

 corymbs of salver-shaped flowers of a 

 delicate lavender hue, 1 to 1 J^-inches 

 across, adorned with a clear yellow eye. 

 Of highly ornamental effect, we are sure 

 that it will prove a gem for the con- 

 servatory, and in suitable situations 

 should do well in the open air. We may 

 add that the bloom is very profuse and 

 of a long-lasting character. (See illus- 

 tration.) Pkt. 50c 



PETUNIA GAIETY 



Fimbriata Erfurt Dwarf {Annual)' 



3367 The fringed Erfurt Dwarf Petunia are 

 becoming more and more popular. Still 

 another variety has been added to the 

 brilliant rose colored "Setting Sun," the 

 amaranth red "Gottfried Michaelis" and 

 the white "Lace Veil." 



The bushy plants of "Gaiety," 8 to 12 

 inches high, are covered with large daintily 

 fringed and waved blooms in two colors, 

 rose and white. It is worthy of the 

 same preference as a plant for beds, 

 borders and window boxes as the other 

 members of the Erfurt Dwarf class. (See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 35c 



Nierenibergia 



PETUNIA PERIWINKLE 



Nana Erecta {Annual) j 



3305 A welcome addition to this popular group.

 blue. The flowers are large bold five- 

 pointed and the plant is compact with a 

 profusion of flowers Pkt. 25c 



STATICE 



Puberula (Annua/) 



3691 This is a very desirable and long-lasting 

 pot plant for summer and late autumn. 

 Statice Puberula flowers five months after 

 sowing, grows only 4 to 6 inches high and 

 forms large magnificent dark violet blooms. 

 It can be used for pots and in the open, also 

 in rock gardens. A soil composed of turfy 

 loam mixed with peat and plenty of sand 

 is the most suitable. The plants can be 

 kept over the winter in a greenhouse, 

 or window box in a dwelling. (See 

 illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



{fTITHONIA 



Early Flowering Strain {Annual) 



4476A Flowers ten days earlier than the regular 

 strain. Tall-growing plants with rich 

 single orange-scarlet flowers of a very 

 telling color. Succeeds well as an annual if 

 seed is sown in February or March, so as 

 to have plants for planting out in 

 May, invaluable for clumps in the tall 

 border. Height, 4 feet. (See illuslratian.)
