'his valuable selection has attained widespread popularity, 

 and to all lias proven a success, surprise and delight. 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. Start the 

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

 just as you would seed of any other tender plant that i» 

 usually started indoors. When the little plants show four 

 leaves, thin out bv 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. 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., 

 15 cts. ; 4 pkts., 50 cts. ; 9 pkts., $1. 



New Begonia Vulcan 



THIS grand new variety is a seedling of the well-known Begonia Vernon, which is so popular all over 

 the'world as the best variety for bedding, on account of its profusion of bloom, beautiful foliage and 

 hardy growth. All the good qualities of Vernon are intensified in the Vulcan, which might be called 

 appropriately THE J^EW SCARLET. VERNON BEGONTA. Planted side by side, the Vulcan is iden- 

 tically of the same growth and free- 

 flowering character, while it com- 

 pletely eclipses the Vernon in the f "\ 



intense brilliancy of its flowers. Each 

 plant is covered with intense fiery 

 scarlet flowers, even the stamens being 

 tipped with fiery red. Perpkt., 15 cts.; 

 2 pkts. for 25 cts.; 10 pkts., $1. 



NEW VERBENA 



Superfine Strain 



To easily grow the best Verbenas, 

 they should be raised from seed, 

 as plants raised from cuttings 

 seem to be more subject to disease 

 and rust than ever, while plants raised 

 from our Superfine Mixed Seed, sown 

 in March, are a mass of healthy fiow- 

 ers and foliage, almost as dense as 

 Sweet Alyssum Little Gem, and nearly 

 as fragrant. The superb strain of Ver- 

 benas here offered is beyond question 

 the finest ever sent out. The trusses • 

 are large with flowers of unusual size, 

 embracing a remarkable range of colors, shades 

 and markings. From early Summer until late 

 Fall the plants produce their magnificent flowers 

 in great abundance. The seed should be sown 

 early in pots, boxes or hotbeds, and transplanted 

 when 3 or 4 inches high. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 4 pkts. 

 for 50 cts ; 9 pkts. for $1.
