THE DINGEB & CON ABB COMPANY'S 



NEW SCARLET TRIUMPH ASTER. 



New Aster Triumph. 



This distinct novelty forms compact plants only about eight inches 

 high, each covered with large, handsome, perfectly formed flowers of 

 extra beauty. The individual flowers measure from 2% to 3 inches 

 across, and are of the most faultless Pasony form, all the petals being 

 beautifully incurved. The color is peculiarly rich and brilliant ; when 

 beginning to bloom it is a pure scarlet, but when in full bloom it 

 changes to a magnificent satiny scarlet, presenting thus, wiih these 

 two brilliant colors, a most lovely sight. The flowers, on account of 

 their weight, bend slightly at varying angles, but do not droop so as 

 to impair their beauty, each plant forming a bouquet cf itself. It is 

 the most charming of all dwarf Scarlet Asters in cultivation to-day. 

 Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 plus., 25 cts. 



New Aster Queen of Spring. 



Of all Asters it is the earliest, and is so named because if the seed 

 is started early it will flower in full perfection before the calendar 

 months of Spring have ended. In any case, started with other Asters, 

 it will flower from two to three weeks earlier. The plants are vigor- 

 ous and healthy, of low, dwarf growth, and produce their qujenly 

 pure white double flowers profusely on long stems, making them un- 

 surpassed for cutting. AH who like Asters will be more than pleased 

 with this grand acquisition. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



NEW BEGONIA VERNON. 



New Begonia Vernon. 



Comes absolutely true from seed, and, as it will stand our hot Sum- 

 mer sun, will prove of the greatest value for bedding and culture in 

 the open ground. From seed started in February or March, plants 

 can be had that will begin to flower in early Summer, and continue in 

 most striking effect until Autumn. The flowers are of an intense 

 brilliant, deep-red color, which is magnificently set off by the abun- 

 dant and vigorous foliage, which is stiff, glossy and of fine green 

 color, partly margined with bronze purple. So easily raised from 

 seed that we unreservedly recommend it both for beading and pot 

 Culture. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. 



Three Grand New Pansies. 



Of distinct merit; they were received with positive enthusiasm last 

 year when offered for the first time. Our tests have proven conclu- 

 sively that they are the choicest new Pansies of late introduction, and 

 we heartily endorse them. 



New Pansy Fire King. 



Will satisfy all who delight in rich, deep colors ; the three lower 

 petals set off the intense deep red mahogany of the blotches on each 

 of these petals, the perfect tone of which is brought out by the rosv 

 red of the two upper petals. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts. 



New Pansy Peacock. 



A gorgeous Pansy; each petal is blotched with dark purple violet 

 on lighter blue ground, changing to a light claret color, distinctly 

 edged with white. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts. 



NEW PANSY ROSY MORN. 



New Pansy Rosy Morn. 



The flowers of this lovely Pansy are of fine size, perfect form, and 

 are borne well above the foliage. The color is exquisite rosy red, 

 distinctly edged with white ; the red in the lower petals is deep, almost 

 to purple. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts. 



Special Offer. — For 25 cts. we will send one packet each of the 

 three grand New Pansies, Peacock, Fire King and Rosy Mom. 



New Double Centaurea. 



Several years ago the old-fashioned Corn Flower or Centaurea 

 sported into the semi-double and double forms. When first intro- 

 duced, only a small percentage came true— that is, of the new form — 

 but now it has been so perfected that fully eighty per cent, of the 

 selection we offer produces grand double flowers, larger it. size than 

 the old form and much more beautiful. The range of color is very 

 fine, white, pink, blue, light and dark red, also several new shades. 

 We look for this old-time favorite to return to high popularity. 

 Mixed seed, per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts. for 25 cts. 



New Lobelia Empress Augusta. 



This is the largest pure white flowered Lobelia in cultivation ; in 

 fact, we know of no other White Lobelia from seed that produces 

 flowers much over half the size of Empress Augusta. It is a sport 

 from the Emperor William, and, notwithstanding that it has been 

 selected for ten years and that even the seeds are white, it will yet 

 throw a percentr^e of blue flowers, but the white flowers are so 

 superior that we strongly recommend this new variety to our friends 

 and customers as well worth growing. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 

 25 cts. 



Lobelia Compacta Oculata. 



The habit of this splendid new variety is perfect ; circular mounds 

 flattened on the top, and literally covered with flowers of the deepest 

 blue, the intense effect of which is heightened by the clear white eye. 

 Of vigorous, healthy growth and entirely suitable for general planting. 

 Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
