 perennial, blooming the first 

 year, beginning in midsum- 

 mer after the flowering season 

 for most of the shrubby per- 

 ennials is over. My seed is a 

 mixture of three choice virie-

 across, and are very abundant

The Mountain Fringe, a beautiful 

 climbing plant, desirable both on account 

 of its intrinsic beauty and for its value in 

 decoration. It is a hardy biennial, bear- 

 ing curiously shaped clusters of small 

 white flowers. The delicate, finely cut 

 foliage of the first year is valuable for 

 green in bouquets, and the long sprays of 

 the second year are splendid for decorat- 

 ing. Once started it perpetuates itself.

The Zanzibar Balsam, much prized 

 for the window or the summer gar- 

 den. The foliage is a waxy green, 

 and with the semi-transparent 

 branches makes the plant in itself 

 attractive. Then, it is almost never 

 without its bright, rosy carmine flow- 

 ers. These are single and measure 

 from one to one and one-half inches 

 in diameter and are very delicate and 

 pretty. No plant comes nearer to 

 being a perpetual bloomer, and when 

 raised in a window it is continually 

 self-sowing in the pots near it.

 orange, white or pink blossoms. _ Suitable for the open

Atherton, La., 1899.— "I got flower seeds from yon last year 

 and they gave me a great deal of pleasure. The Nasturtium 

 bed was a thing of beauty; the Cannas were fine, too."
