MISS EMMA V. WHITE. 



Preseott, la. —"The seeds 

 from your firm last year did 

 nicely. My double Moss Rose 

 (Portulacaj, Camellia Balsam 

 and White Mourning Bride 

 were admired by all who saw 

 them." Mrs. j. YY. Bray. 



LAVATERA. 



The Lavateras are among the old- 

 fashioned annuals that well deserve to 

 be restored to more general favor. The 

 blossoms are large and cup-shaped , 

 measuring from one and a half to two 

 inches across, and appear in showy 

 clusters. The plant is somewhat strag- 

 gling and the foliage not very orna- 

 mental, but the blossoms are so fine 

 for bouquets and the corsage that I 

 would not be without them. When 

 used for cutting they are improved by 

 plucking out the foliage and massing 

 together. A bouquet of my Lavatera 

 at church called forth many expres- 

 sions of admiration. The flowers come 

 in pure white, or a rich, soft pink. 

 Mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 



Grafton, N. D. Feb 18, 1896.— "I received your catalogue 

 and had I not already given my order to other florists I 

 should probably have given you my full order, as I notice 

 your seeds are cheaper than I can get elsewhere." 



Miss H. Toombs. 



LOBELIA. 



Low growing, compact and dwarf in habit, no 

 plant is finer for edgings or for massing than 

 the Lobelia ; it is very effective also for hanging 

 baskets, rockeries, or the window or porch box, 

 and will be found desirable in pots for winter 

 culture, blooming in four weeks from planting. It 

 bears in great abundance charming 

 little blue or white flowers, making a 

 dense mass of bloom. Although per- 

 ennial, it is best treated as an annual. 

 Mixed, many choice varieties. Pkt., 3c. 



LEMON VERBENA. 



An old favorite, prized on account of 

 its fragrant leaves. It grows easily 

 from seed. Plant a good bed of it and 

 you will enjoy cutting it freely for bou- 

 quets at all times during the whole 

 growing season. Pkt., 5 cts. 



MAURANDYA. 



The Maurandya is a graceful annual 

 climber for the window or the open 

 ground in summer. It bears a profu- 

 sion of white, rose and violet blossoms 

 and is very desirable for vases and to 

 cover stumps or low trellises. For dec- 

 orative purposes it is almost as prett3 - 

 as the Smilax. Six to ten feet. Choice 

 mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 



LYCHNIS. 



For the perennial bed, a 

 grand old garden favorite, 

 blooming the first season if 

 planted early. Mixed. Pkt. 3c.
