COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



PllLOX, STAR OF QIJED- 



A very striking novelty of extraordinary 

 character. The center of the petals, five in 

 number, run into a point one-fourth to one- 

 third of an inch beyond the edge, thus giv- 

 ing the flowers a regular star-lilce 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., 15 cts.. 2 pkts., 25 cts. 



NEW DOIJBI-E white PIILOX. 



In this new variety we have an acquisition. It is the first Double Phlox 

 introduced. A profuse bloomer, and of great value for bouquets, of an 

 exquisite pure, white color and handsome shape. About 80 per cent of the 

 seed sown will be perfectly double. 



Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



miKado poppy. 



This new striped Japanese Poppy is one of the most charming sorts. 

 A quaint, yet artistic beauty; the petals at the edges are cut and 

 fringed; the color is most attractive and pretty, being pure white at the 

 back, while the fringed edges are of a brilliant crimson scarlet. 



Per pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



SHIRLEY POPPY. 



DOUBLE WHITE PHLOX. 



These charming Poppies are an entirely new strain, the result of many years' selection. One of 

 the finest and handsomest novelties. Generally single or semi-double. The range of color, extend- 

 ing from pure white through the most delicate shades of pale pink, rose and carmine to deepest 

 crimsom, is so varied that scarcely two are alike, while many are delicately edged and striped. The 

 blooms, if cut whea young, will stand for several days without drooping. 



Per pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



VESUVIUS POPPY. 



This is one of the most brilliant flowers we have ever seen. The four 

 large lower petals show distinctly a Victoria Cross; while looking at the 

 grand double flowers on the top or side they each appear a glowing ball of 

 the most vivid scarlet. The flowers are quite 3^4 to i inches in diameter; the 

 petals are finely cut or fimbriated, which adds greatly to their beauty. The 

 plants grow 2*4 feet high, and bear in abundance the magiiiticent double 

 flowers gracefully on long stems. On account of so many varieties being 

 coarse, Poppies are not generally grown, and those who have never seen the 

 latest novelties of the Poppy may be slow to believe in their exceeding 

 beauty. 



Per pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 

 SNOWDRIFT POPPY. 



A grand new variety, of very dwarf and compact habit. The large pure 

 white flowers are perfiactly round and double; ihe petals are finely fimbri- 

 ated. The flowers are produced in great abundance and are admired by 

 everyone. A fine contrast to the brilliant scarlet of the Vesuvius, if grown 

 together. 



Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.
