 are of lasting substance, making them very desirable for cutting. 

 Every order should include this unsurpassed variety go 10

This megnificent race of plants is of rapid growth, quickly attain- 

 ing a height of 5 to 7 feet. The bushes are a mass of elegant 

 foliage until they bloom in September. From then until No- 

 vember the plants are literally covered with showy flowers re- 

 sembling Dahlias. They range in color through all shades of 

 rose, purple, flesh and pure white. They are easily raised from 

 seed, and increase in popularity year by year. A writer in Suc- 

 cess tuith Flowers says the plants -will continue blooming into 

 the Winter if taken up and potted and brought indoors .... 10

 fruit produced in large clusters. 5 ft 10

Celosia (Cockscomb). 



Especially interesting, of brilliant colors and quite easy to grow ; the 



combs are often a foot, or more across the top. Celosia is a special 



favorite with us, and we offer the best kinds. 



New Dwarf Queen (see cut). — The finest and most improved va- 

 riety of its class yet sent out in this country. The very dwarf 

 plants run 6 to 8 inches in height, well balanced and firmly set 

 in the ground. Heads 10 to 12 inches across and remarkably 

 uniform. A row presents an unusually solid effect in color. As 

 will be seen by our illustration, the heads are of the highest 

 type ; they look more like a curious ornament made out of ruby- 

 red plush than ahead of bloom 10 



New Japanese Crimson. — This beautiful and distinct class of 

 Cockscombs will give great satisfaction. They grow about 2 

 feet in height and produce pyramidal masses of brilliant scarlety 

 crimson combs, which are cut and ruffled like fine lace ; a clump 

 of these gorgeous annuals will show to fine advantage in the 

 centre of a large flower bed. We would advise planting both 

 Japanese varieties together, as the contrast between the fiery 

 crimson and vivid orange is remarkable 10 



New Japanese Orange. — It is a sterling novelty and will please 

 alllovers of new and rare sorts. Similar in habit to the crimson 

 variety described above, but the color of the beautifully cut 

 combs is vivid shining orange 10 



Empress. — This fine strain produces truly colossal combs, 25 to 

 30 inches across being not unusual. The heads are well filled 

 and handsomely formed ; the color is bright red, rich and vel- 

 vety. We offer the finest strain in this country 10
