AMBROSIA. 



A hardy annual with long spiral 

 stems, bearing an abundance of small, 

 round, greenish-yellow buds and blos- 

 >-oms which are exceedingly fragrant. 

 It is as desirable as the Ro>e Geran- 

 ium as a plant with fragrant foliage, 

 and for making up into bouquets and 

 other floral work. Its long, beautiful, 

 f ringy spirals of lovely green are un- 

 surpassed. It is one of the easiest 

 plants to grow, and seed may be sown 

 early in the open ground. Pkt., 350 

 seeds, 6 cents. 



AMARANTHUS, GiBOSUS. 



A very handsome annual, ornamen- 

 tal foliage plant with long drooping 

 panicles of purplish-red flowers, fre- 

 quently 2^4 feet in length. But few 

 flowers will attract more attention, 

 being useful in many situations as 

 the back-ground of a flower border, 

 ornamental hedge, or a bed on the 

 lawn. Pkt., 100 seeds, 3 cents. 



AMARANTHUS SPLENDENS, 

 (Rainbow Plant.) 



The plants grow from two to three 

 feet high, and in the fall the leaves 

 turn to the most brilliant colors, pre- 

 senting a display that few plants can 

 equal. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4 cents. 



Miss Emma Sieling, Elkhom, Ills., Jan. 31, 

 1895, writes:— I was very well pleased with the 

 seeds bought of you last year, especially the 

 Petunias and Phlox — they were worth the 

 money alone. 



Mrs. A. O. Scott, Durbin, N. Dak., April 13, 

 1895, writes:— This is the third year 1 have sent 

 to you for seeds, and I am very much pleased 

 with the seeds and prices and recommend 

 them whenever I have a chance. 



Mrs. Dave Zigler, Plymouth, Ohio, April 16, 

 1895, writes: The seeds I received from you last 

 year gave good satisfaction. The Cinerarias 

 were beautiful and the question was asked al- 

 most daily— where did you get the seed? 1 re- 

 sponded by showing them your neat and hand- 

 som little Catalogue. 



Arabis Alpina. 



ARABIS ALPINA. 



The pure white flowers grow so nniforni and 

 thickly that it gives the effect of a sheet of snow. 

 Plants perfectly hardy. The earliest, prettiest 

 spring flower. The spreading tufts are densely 

 clothed with neat, lively green leaves and covered 

 with pure white flowers of the most lovely effect, 

 conspicuous in great distance, especially in large 

 masses on rockeries or broad edgings for park- 

 roads, having the advantage of braving the great- 

 est drought during summer, and always looking 

 neat. Pkt., 150 seeds, 6 cents.
