Crab's Eye Vine. 



Abrus Precatorius. 



A most beautiful climber, either for 

 pot culture or the open ground in 

 summer; bears clusters of bright yel- 

 low flowers, followed by bunches of 

 pods, which, when dry, burst open, 

 disclosing brilliant red seeds with 

 black eyes, used for making beads 

 and ornaments, for which purpose 

 they are exceedingly pretty. Pkt., 15 

 seeds, 5 cts.

 Dear Miss Lippincott : 



Your beautiful little catalogue arrived 

 almost the first, and certainly is my favor- 

 ite, and inspires me, as usual, with a de- 

 sire to purchase and plant all the seeds. 

 But knowing the limitations of my soil, 

 which is mostly sand, I must refrain. The 

 shady place grass seed grew beautifully, 

 but the ornamental grass seed I have tried 

 two seasons without success. 



Yours truly, Mrs. H. H. Cody. 



Angel's Breath, or Gypsophila. 



An annual that should be in every garden, for it 

 thrives everywhere, and furnishes the loveliest ma- 

 terial for all kinds of bouquets. The tiny ljttle 

 flowers are borne in abundance on long, graceful, 

 branching stems which lend a most graceful, light 

 appearance to any bunch of flowers. Pkt., 300 seeds, 

 5 cts. 



Aquilegia, or Columbine. 



Very handsome, ornamental, hardy perennial 

 plants of easy cultivation and bearing in profusion 

 large flowers of novel shape and in a great variety 

 of colors. Double mixed. Pkt., 300 seeds, 5 cts. 



Ambrosia. 



A hardy annual with long spiral stems, bearing 

 an abundance of small, round greenish-yellow buds 

 and blossoms which are exceedingly fragrant. It is 

 as desirable as the Rose Geranium as a plant with 

 fragrant foliage, and for making up into bouquets 

 and other floral work. Its long, beautiful, fringy 

 spirals of lovely green are unsurpassed. It is one 

 of the easiest plants to grow, and seed may be sown 

 early in open ground. Pkt., 400 seeds, 5 cts. 



NOTICE — If you have never planted a 

 small vegetable garden for your own use, 

 try it this year. You will find a select list 

 of seeds in this catalogue, commencing at 

 page 45.
