J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



the popular All Saints' Day kinds by the 

 100 or 1000 on short notice, such as Mrs. 

 H. Robinson, white; Mrs. Coombes, pink; 

 H. Cannel and Col. Appleton, yellow; we 

 call special attention to our new varieties, 

 especially Wm. Duckham, which is with- 

 out doubt the finest pink ever introduced 

 and should be in every collection, whether 

 for exhibition or garden. 



Gen. Hutton — Yellow shaded orange; an 

 enormous flower, with perfect stem and 

 foliage and one of the strongest growers; 

 winner of the first prize for best vase of j 

 yellow at the late Flower Show in New 

 Orleans, beating the well-known Col. Ap- 

 pleton. No collection should be without 

 this grand variety. Price, 50 cents. 



Femina — A grand new pink variety 

 from France, same shade as Wm. Duck- 

 ham, with short Dahlia like petals, which, 

 on first, opening, are slightly tipped with 

 light yellow, but finishing a perfect Pink 

 of the largest size and perfect form; an 

 extra strong grower, 50 cents. 



Ben Wells — A monster Japanese blush 

 white with long narrow florets slightly 

 reflexed but deep; grand for exhibition; 

 winner of the first prize at the late 

 Flower Show for best vase of white; a 

 variety hard to beat. 50 cents. 



S. S. Wright— The largest of all the 

 red varieties, a perfect mammoth; when 

 first opening it is red and gold of 

 gorgeous shades, reflexing until it shows 

 pure red of a depth of color beyond con- 

 cention. 50 cents. 



Maynell — One of the largest blooms 

 that we have ever seen, both deep and 



broad; color, bright crimson with gold 

 reverse; very fine. 25 cents. 



Leila Filkins — A lovely shade of pink, 

 fully 8 inches across, which fortunately 

 does not burn or fade so quickly as some 

 of the fine varieties do; habit very stout 

 with beautiful foliage. 25 cents. 



Lord Hopetown — A very handsome 

 flower of the richest scarlet crimson with 

 shining gold reverse, one of the finest 

 for show or for general purposes; took 

 first prize at the late Flower Show for 

 best vase of red. 25 cents. 



Boccace — A perfectly round incurved of 

 very large size, stiff stem and nice ffoli- 

 | age; color golden chrome. This is a 

 i specially fine variety. 25 cents. 



Wm. Duckham — A very large Japanese 

 j incurved and of a pleasing shade of pink, 

 j winner of the silver cup of the Chrysan- 

 ! themum Society of America and of many 

 ! gold medals and prizes, in fact every- 

 where it has been exhibited, which 

 speaks more for it, than anything we can 

 say about it, no one should fail to get 

 this, it is an extra strong grower and 

 easy to manage. Price 25 cents. 



Honesty — A Japanese variety of im- 

 mense size, color pure white; we believe 

 this to be one of the best varieties for 

 All Saints' Day, being larger than Mrs. 

 H. Robinson and a much stronger 

 grower. 



Dr. Enguehard — One of the best varie- 

 ties of recent introduction. Color a true 

 pink without the least trace of purple. 



Miss Alice Byron — One of the grandest 

 whites, introduced for some time and the 

 purest in color of any we grow, and it is 

 sure to prove valuable for All Saints' Day, 

 as it blooms about the same time as Mrs. 

 H. Robinson. 



Mrs. Coombes — An enormous reflexed 

 flower with very broad petals, in color a 

 beautiful shade of rose, the best of this 

 color for All Saints' Day. 



Miss Lucy Evans — New. A beautiful 

 heliotrope pink, clearer in color and 

 larger in size than the very popular Mrs. 

 Coombes, and opens freely and easily; 

 incurving center, reflexing outer petals. 



Mrs. Bassett — Fine lemon yellow; a 

 sport from Mrs. Robinson. No other 

 variety approached it for size at this 

 date. 



Convention Hall — Closely resembles 

 The Queen in stem, foliage and form, 

 but is without the objectionable eye; 

 color, white, of an exceedingly pure tone; 

 very broad center petals, incurving close- 

 ly; tubular ray florets. Height. 4 feet; 

 second crown or terminal, maturing Nov. 



Frotscher's Adam's Early Corn is True to Name.
