BURBANK S SHASTA 

 DAISY. 



THIS SHASTA DAISY is one of 



the most marvelous productions in 

 the flower line that has ever been 

 brought to the notice of floricul- 

 turists. Blooms for several months. 

 The flowers are extremely large and 

 graceful, averaging about four inch- 

 es in diameter, with three or more 

 rows of petals of the purest glisten- 

 ing whiteness, and are borne on 

 single, strong, stiff, wiry stems, 

 nearly two feet in length. The 

 blooms when cut remain perfectly 

 fresh and in good condition for 

 two weeks or more. No other flow- 

 er can compare with it in usefulness. 

 Pkt., 100 seeds, 10 cts. 



Your seeds have always given 

 the best of satisfaction. My 

 Zinnias last year were beautiful, 

 and I feel I have you to thank 

 for the many beautiful flowers 

 I always have.

DATURA CORNUCOPIA, 'HORN OF PLENTY.^' 



Discovered in South Africa by a collector of Orchids. The plant is of robust 

 habit, with thick, dark, brown-purple, shining stems. The branches are numerous, 

 spreading 3 or 4 feet; thick, large, dark green colored leaves. The flowers are trum- 

 pet-shaped, measuring 8 or 10 inches in length and 5 to 7 inches across the mouth, 

 and form three distinct flowers growing each within the other. The mouth of the 

 corolla is the jnost delicate white, beautifully marked with purple. A single plant 

 gives from 200 to 300 fragrant blooms during the season, followed by a large, thorny 

 seed vessel, which adds to its beauty; is one of easiest culture; plant at the end of 

 May in a warm, rich soil; can be cultivated as an isolated speciman, in masses for 

 center of beds, or to fill barren places, and produces a striking effect.
