MISS EMMA V. WHITE, 



" The daisy's cheek is tipped with a blush, 

 She is of such low degree."— Thomas Hood. 



Longfellow Daisy. Snowball Daisy. 



DOUBLE DAISY (Bellis Perennis). 



The "wee modest crimson-tipped flower," a well known favorite for 

 the border or pot culture. Growing only from six to eight inches in 

 height, blooming in early spring and covered during the entire season 

 with their rosy or white blossoms, they are invaluable not only for the 

 above purposes but also for cemetery decoration. Perennial, but they 

 bloom the first season if sown early, and will bloom all winter in pots. 

 IiOngfellow. With its large double rose-colored flowers, this variety 



forms a splendid contrast to its companion in white. Nothing is more 



modest and pretty and no Daisy gives better satisfaction. Pkt., 4c. 

 Snowball. This variety is a profuse bloomer, bearing extra large, 



very double, pure white blossoms. About 80 per cent come pure white.

Beaman, Mo., October 19, 1896: — " A severe storm interfered with the seeds I planted from your place, 

 but 1 raised two Dahlias which I value more than any others I ever grew." Abe Thomas. 



DAHLIA. 



There is no reason 

 why everyone can- 

 not have a magnif- 

 icent bed of this 

 king of autumn 

 flowers, as they are 

 as easily raised 

 from seed as from 

 bulbs. They bloom 

 the first year if the 

 seed is sown early, 

 and thebulbcanbe 

 put into the cellar 

 for use the follow- 

 ing spring. 

 Double, mixed. 

 Saved from extra 

 selected double 

 flowers. Pkt., 3c. 

 Single, Striped. 

 In great variety 

 of colors, and very 

 popular. Mixed. 

 Pkt., 4 cts. 



DUSTY MILLER 



(Cineraria Mari- 

 tima. ) 



A most valuable 

 foli a ge plant for 

 borders, making a 

 fine contrast when 

 massed with darker 

 foliage plants. I of- 

 fer a fine mixture 

 of the Cent a urea 

 Gymnocarpa and 

 Cineraria Maritima 

 seed. The foliage 

 is silvery gray and 

 deeply cut, especi- 

 ally in the latter 

 variety, and in each 

 the white, downy 

 covering is present 

 which gives the 

 name " Dusty Mil- 

 ler." Half hardy 

 perennial. Pkt., 3c. 



Dusty Miller. 



Centerville, la.. Oct. 24, 1896:— "I am 

 much pleased with my Dahlias, double 

 mixed. I had two papers from other 

 seed firms, but yours were far the fin- 

 est varieties." Key. A.J. Smith.
