CENTAUKEA IMPEKIALIS. 



(IMPEKIAL SWEET SULTAN.) 



These new varieties of the old Sweet Sultan are grand improve- 

 ments, producing long-stemmed blossoms 3 to 4 inches across, of 

 graceful, airy effect, and most deliciously fragrant. The colors are 

 varied from glistening white through shades of red, from flesh-pink 

 to crimson and through blues from silvery-lilac to royal-purple, 

 some of them having centres of some distinct color, as violet with 

 white centre, etc. for bouquets, vases, or as corsage flowers they 

 are of exceptional value. If cut scarcely opened they will last for 

 ten days in water. The plants are of the easiest culture, flowering 

 freely in the garden the first summer from seed sown in the spring. 

 They are of strong, bushy form. 2 to 3 feet high.

 SHASTA DAISY 



SINGLE HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



"SHASTA" and "MOON-PENNY" DAISIES. 



The large-flowering single white hardy daisy— Chrysantliemum leticantlwmum maximum 

 — has long been considered one of our finest hardy perennials for permanent garden decor- 

 ation. The following two types — one of Californian, and the other of German origin — are 

 great improvements: 



Princess Henry. This German "Moon-Penny" daisy forms a bushy, compact, globular plant 

 18 inches high, producing in greatest abundance, during late summer and fall, magnificent, 

 large white flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They are of splendid substance and, having long 

 stems, are highly prized for cutting, lasting in water fully a week. It flowers the first 

 season from spring-sown seed, and comes up every summer in the same beauty for many 



years, surviving the severest winters Pkt. 10c. 



Shasta Daisy. This great white Californian daisy — a creation of Mr. Luther Burbank — pro- 

 duces, when well grown, magnificent pure white flowers 4 inches or more across, on stems 

 1^2 to 2 feet in length. The plants grow 2 to 2 l A feet in height, are perfectly hardy, 



and flower in greatest profusion Pkt. 20c. 



Semi-Double Shasta Daisy, New. A variety of the above, producing large semi-double, pure 

 white flowers, which last long in perfection Pkt. 25c. 



Sy^ e , s z t ed chrysanthemum seed. 



Direct from China and Japan. This Seed will produce Blooming Plants the first season. 

 The regal Beauty of these Royal flowers of the Orient is well known. There are many 



people, however, who do not realize how easily they may be grown from seed, and that all 



of the magnificent new varieties were raised from hybridized seed, similar to that we are 



now offering.

Japanese Double, Choicest Mixed. Immense double flowers with long twisted petals 15c.

Delaux's Early- flowering. Choicest Mixed. Early or September flowering; they are 

 mostly of the Japanese type, but of dwarf and branching habit and very abun- 

 dant bloomers 15c.
