LARGE FLOWERING- EXTRA CHOICE 

 MIXED. The most beautiful of the phloxes. 

 Our mixture contains a large variety of the fin- 

 est and most brilliant colors. Per pkt. 8 cts. 



DOUBLE MIXED. This variety is a profuse 

 bloomer, and of great value for bouquets. They 

 are of recent introduction and are especially de- 

 sirable for cut flowers, lasting much better than 

 the single sorts. To produce the best results 

 they should be grown in a light soil. About 80 

 per cent of the seed sown will be double. Per 

 pkt. 8 cts. 



STAR OP QUEDLINBURG. A very striking 

 novelty. The center of the petals, five in num- 

 ber, run into a point, thus giving the flowers a 

 regular star-like form. The plant grows about 

 18 inches high, of compact habit, and bears 

 large umbels of flowers, of many brilliant colors, 

 and the edges of the petals bordered with broad 

 white margins. Per pkt. 5 cts. 



Kochia Scoparia 



A very ornamental annual plant of rapid 

 •growth. Grows from 2 to 3 ft. in height, having 

 a cypress like appearance. The leaves are slender 

 and of a light pea-green color until September, 

 when they change to carmine and blood-red. Its 

 bright autumn coloring makes the bushy plants 

 resemble balls of fire and has given it also the 

 names of "Mexican Fire Plant" or "Burning 

 Bush." Plants do best in a sunny exposure, and 

 set about two feet apart. Per pkt. 5 cts. 



Fringed Chinese Primrose 



Primula (Chinese Primrose) 



A charming and profus? flowering plant and 

 one of the most desirable of house blooming plants, 

 and will richly compensate for the little care they 

 require. They are in almost constant bloom all 

 winter, and if the plants are transferred to a 

 shady border they will bloom nearly all summer. 

 Care should be taken in watering that no water 

 fall on the buds as it causes them to rot. Green- 

 house perennial.

 eties mixed ; the seed we offer is saved from
