SALVIA, "BONFIRE." 



The plants are compact, making a symmetrical, oval bush about two and 

 one-half feet high, producing long spikes of most brilliant scarlet flowers. 

 The spikes stand stiff and erect above the foliage, a single plant not infre- 

 quently bearing 200 of these fiery sprays. Gorgeous effects are produced by 

 massing, or planting in rows with contrasting colors. Pkt., 5 cts. 



=?»,^ SALVIA SPLENDENSj»j« 



The " old reliable" Salvia, suitable either for the window or garden. In 

 its flowering season it is completely covered with long spikes of brilliant 

 scarlet flowers. Pkt., 4 cts. 



No climbing plant surpasses the Smilax, not only for the graceful beauty 

 of the vine, but for its value in decoration. The seed should be sown in pots 

 or boxes, as it requires a month or more to germinate, but it is easy to culti- 

 vate. Although a perennial, it is better to start new plants each year, and 

 not try to keep them after the leaves turn yellow. Pkt., 4 cts. 



SNAPDRAGON (Antirrhinum). 



Brilliant. Crimson, with yellow and white throat. 

 Pkt 4 cts. 



Niobe. A beautiful new variety. The tips of the 

 flowers are a velvety crimson maroon, the throat pure 

 white, making a striking contrast. Pkt., 4 cts. 



Queen of the North. A beautiful variety, bearing 

 large white, sweet-scented flowers. The plant is com- 

 pact and bushy, and is well adapted for pot culture. 

 (See cut.) Pkt., 4 cts. 



Giant Mixed. A splendid mixture of this old- 

 fashioned favorite, with giant flowers in many brilliant 

 shades, including also my three named varieties. Pkt., 

 3 cts.; 2pkt6., 5 cts. 



Montreal, Can., 1899.— "Your catalog is the most practicable 

 and best arranged that I have received, simple and convenirat
