Our Novelties and Specialties for 1894. 



We devote pages 80 to 87, inclusive, to descriptions and illustrations of our superb Flower Seed Novel- 

 ties and Specialties for the season of 1894. The varieties included are all strikingly distinct and valuable, 

 and are adapted to the climate and seasons of the United States and Canada, and, therefore, will thrive and 

 bloom to perfection wherever the cultivation of other things is attended with a reasonable degree of success. 



Our Grand Success Coleus 



E have named this valuable selection "Success Coleus," as we are 

 sure it will prove a success, surprise and delight to all flower 

 people. 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 otherpots, etc., and thus " Success Coleus " can be grown until the sea- 

 son 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 bor- 

 ders 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. Perpkt.,25 cts.; 2 pkts., 5octs.; 5 pkts., $1.
