THE DINGEE AND CONARD COMPANY'S 



HIS valuable selection has attained widespread popu- 

 larity, and to all has proven a success, surprise and de- 

 light. In our picture we had the artist show single 

 leaves of four of the most distinctly colored and marked 

 varieties; but every variation, color and marking we have 

 ever seen in the finest assorted Coleus is included in the 

 "Success Coleus." The directions for culture are extremely 

 simple, as this strain of Coleus seed germinates easily, and 

 success is as sure as with an ordinary annual. Start the seed 

 in pots, boxes or pans, whichever is the most convenient, just 

 as you would seed of any other tender plant that is usually 

 started indoors. When the little plants show four leaves, thin 

 out by transplanting a proportion to other pots, etc., and thus " Success 

 Coleus'" can be grown until the season for planting out in the open 

 ground, which should not be done until all danger of frost is past. The 

 most fancifully designed beds and borders can be readily constructed of 

 "Success Coleus," as the plants can be safely transplanted after the 

 colors and markings begin to show. We have thoroughly graded and mixed " Success Coleus," and put it 

 into liberal packets, so that a single packet can be depended on for a complete collection of colors and 

 markings, and sufficient plants for a medium-sized bed. Per pkt., 20 cts.; 3 pkts., 50 cts.; 7 pkts., $1. 



Rare and Beautiful Celosias* 



....NEW CELOSIA.... 



Ostrich FeatheredJ^Hi. 



Is a strong, erect-growing plant and attains a height of 2^ 

 to 3 feet. The foliage is dark brown and makes a pleasing effect 

 against the brilliant red and deep maroon flowers. The profu- 

 sion of bloom is a strong and remarkable feature, single plants 

 producing 25 to 50 perfect plumes, averaging in length 6 to 8 

 inches. The quickness of growth and absolute certainty of 

 bloom will enhance its value; plants bloom three months after 

 sowing the seed. The unusual profusion and brilliancy of the 

 flowers will make it preeminently the most admired of all dec- 

 orative plants. Specially attractive when used in massing with 

 " Golden Feathered " in the foreground. Full cultural directions 

 on each packet. Red and maroon mixed. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 

 4 pkts. for 50 cts.; 9 pkts. for $1.
