MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 



GODETIA. 



The "Satin Flower," a 

 low growing annual, bear- 

 ing large, shining, satiny 

 flowers of white, lilac, rose 

 and deep shades of pink 

 and crimson, delicately- 

 shaded and spotted. They 

 will thrive even in shady 

 places, and furnish such 

 an abundance of bloom 

 as almost to hide the foli- 

 age. The children enjoy 

 these bright flowers, and 

 being easy to cultivate 

 they should be included 

 in their garden. Mixed. 

 Pkt., 3 cts. 



Gypsophila. 



"Our outward life requires them not, — 

 Then wherefor had they birth ?— 

 To minister delights to man, 



To beautify the earth ; 

 T» comfort man, to whisper hope 



Where'er his faith is dim, 

 For who so cartth for the flowers 

 Will also care for Him." 



Mart Howitt. 



Grass Lake, Mich., Oct. 22, 1896.— "I have 

 about 25 Primrose plants from the seed I got 

 of you, and some are in blossom now. Al- 

 together I am pleased with the order." 

 Mrs. P. S. Willis. 



Godetia. 



GYPSOPHILA 

 PANICULATA. 



No lady who does decorat- 

 ing or who delights to adorn 

 her rooms with flowers 

 should be without the Gyp- 

 sophila. Its fairy, mist-like 

 sprays of delicate white blos- 

 soms have also given it the 

 appropriate names of "Vani- 

 ty/' or "Baby's Breath." By 

 itself it is of no value, but 

 mixed with coarser flowers, 

 it sets off a bouquet as dainty 

 lace does a lady's dress. It is 

 a hardy perennial, of easy 

 cultivation, and will continue 

 to bloom for years, furnish- 

 ing a never failing supply of 

 bloom for each needed occa- 

 sion. Pkt., 3 cts. 



HELIOTROPE. 



The Heliotrope is universally 

 prized for its delicate fragrance 

 and duration of bloom. It is as 

 easily raised from seed as pan- 

 sies and balsams, succeeding 

 well in any rich, light soil. I of- 

 fer a choice selection of early 

 flowering varieties, that produce 

 immense clusters of bloom, very 

 fragrant and sometimes meas- 

 uring six inches across. Mixed, 

 with the dark shades predomin- 

 ating. Pkt., 5 cts. 



DOUBLE HOLLYHOCK (Althea Rosea). 

 This splendid plant with its magnificent spikes of vari-col- 

 ored flowers well deserves its high, popular favor. It is desir- 

 able as a background for the border, before a fence or any un- 

 sightly object it is desired to hide, and the white is especially 

 fine for floral pieces or other cut-flower work. Flowers very 

 double, in shades of white, yellow, pink, red, etc. Biennial. 

 Finest mixed. Pkt., 3 cts.
