Chinese Lantern Plant. 



(Physalis Franchetti.) 



The plant produces numerous, large, 

 inflated husks, much the shape of Chi- 

 nese lanterns, at first a beautiful given 

 color, changing to a yellowish hue and 

 then to brightest scarlet, and as they 

 hang suspended among the green foliage 

 they present a most novel and striking- 

 ly beautiful appearance. Branches cut 

 and dried retain their rich and brilliant 

 color, and make most beautiful winter 

 bouquets when used with dry grasses and 

 leaves. The plant grows from one and 

 one-half to two feet in height. Treated 

 like a Tomato, it grows and fruits freely 

 from seed the first season, yet the plants 

 are perennial and may be wintered in the 

 cellar or grown in pots as a window 

 plant. Pkt., 30 seeds, 5 cts. 



Cobaea Scandens 



Chrysanthemum, or French 

 Marguerites. 



Annual variety much grown for cut flow- 

 ers. The plants grow twelve to eighteen 

 inches high and produce on long stems 

 beautiful large flowers of many bright col- 

 ors. They flower all summer in the gar- 

 den, and make elegant pot plants for win- 

 ter flowering. Pkt., 200 seeds, 5 ets. 



Chrysanthemum, Inodorum 

 Plenissimum 



Although a perennial, it flowers abun- 

 dantly the first 3-ear from seed, each plant 

 producing hundreds of beautiful, perfectly 

 double, snow-white flowers unsurpassed for 

 bouquets. It remains in bloom all summer, 

 and is in all respects one of the handsom- 

 est and most valuable of flowers. Pkt.. 200 

 seeds, 5 cts. 



Chrysanthemum, Fancy Perennial. 



From the best Incurved, Pompone, Jap- 

 anese. Chinese and Anemone-flowered vari- 

 eties. Seed sown in the hotbed in Febru- 

 ary or March, or even April, will give 

 plants that bloom in August or September, 

 and cannot fail, with proper care, to give 

 magnificent flowers in a wonderful variety 

 of colors and forms. Pkt., 200 seeds, 10 

 cts. 



Cobaea Scandens.

 green at first, but rapidly changing to a 

 beautiful deep violet-blue. A well estab- 

 lished plant will run 30 to 40 feet a sea- 

 son. Pkt., 20 seeds, 5 cts.; 1 oz., 15 cts.
