FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



Emperor Salpiglossis 



Emperor Salpiglossis 



64871 he Salpiglossis is one of Uie greatest favorites 

 amongst animals, partly because of its easy culture but 

 principally by its beautiful, in their design, almost 

 orchid-like floweis which it produces from early sum- 

 mer until late fall. This new variety forms only one 

 leading stem and bears on its summit a veritable bou- 

 quet of the most beautiful flowers, each one richly 

 veined with gold, and much larger than the finest 

 of the " Graiidiflora " type. The throat is short and 

 the edge of the flower not so deeply incurved as in the 

 old type, giving ii a more rounded form and displaying^ 

 the rich colors to the best advantage. We had the 

 pleasure of seeing this beautiful plant in the gardens 

 of the introducer last summer, and are satisfied that it 

 will soon become a favorite. Per pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkls. 

 $1.00.

 BOUQUET, 



5925 A new hardv perennial va- 

 riety, coming into flower in 

 June from seed sown in April, 

 and continuing in bloom until 

 fall. The plants grow about 

 3 feet high, forming a regular 

 pyramid, branched from base 

 to top, each branch bearing on 

 long slender stems a multi- 

 tude of golden-yellow flowers 

 each from 2 to 2J inches 

 across. An invaluable cut 

 flower for vases, etc., and an 

 excellent decorative plant for 

 the garden. Per pkt. 25 cts. 



Blue Bedding Lobelia, Heterophylla Major. 



BEUE BEDDING EOBEEIA, 



HETEROPHYEEA MAJOR, 



6019 While not a new variety it is one that we have never 

 seen offered in this country, and after two seasons' trial we 

 are convinced that it is one of the best for this climate, 

 coming into flower early, standing the heat well and con- 

 tinuing to bloom without interruption until frost. The 

 plant forms dense globular bushes about 6 inches high, 

 completely smothered with flowers which are of very large 

 size, over an inch across, and of a most lirilliant sky-l)hie 

 with a clear white eye. Per pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. 25 cts. 



MIGNONETTE, 



SAEMON QUEEN. 



6099 Last summer we made an extensive trial of Mignonettes 

 to determine the best varieties for outdoor culture. The 

 variety here offered was decidedly the best of the lot, 

 being of strong, robust habit, with fine spikes of bright snl- 

 mon-re<l flowers and intensely fragrant, this variety and 

 the Golden Macliet, offered on page 79, dividing the at- 

 tention of the bees in their search for honey. Per pkt. 15 

 cts., 2 pkts, for 25 cts. 



We call special attention to our strains of 



DOUBLE FRINGED PETUNIAS 



shown in colors on ihe l>ack aiver of this catalogue. See 

 offer of Seeds on i)age 83 and of Plants on page 129.
