MigfllOliette.— Few ladies would think that a garden was complete without 

 Mignonette. For fragrance and beauty there are few flowers that are as universally 

 admired. Packet, 3 cents. 



Mig-iionette S-weet (Reseda Odorata). — The old-time favorite. 

 Small flowers, but sweet and pretty. Packet, 3 cents. 



Biasturtiuni. — For easy culture and general satisfaction there is nothing that 

 excels the Nasturtium. Brilliant in color and of great variety. A bed of these 

 fine bloomers adds tone and elegance to any flower garden. Good for cutting bou- 

 quets and vases. The foliage is also very beautiful. 



Nasturtium, Tail.— Sorts mixed. Packet, 3 cents. 



Xasturtiuni, Dwarf.— Sorts mixed. Packet, 3 cents. 



Oxalis* — Beautiful small plant, suitable for greenhouse, rock-work or out-of- 

 door culture, flowering the first; half hardy perennial ; nine inches. Packet, 3 cents. 



Pansies. — Our selection of this well-known flower is, we believe, the best 

 that is offered anywhere for size, variety and beauty, and have no equal. To grow 

 pansies and secure the largest and best flowers, the seed should be sown in January 

 and February in the greenhouse or in boxes in the house. Care should be taken to 

 spray the young plants daily to keep off vermin. Plant out as soon as favorable to 

 the open ; grow in deep, rich soil. Remember, for pansies the soil cannot be too 

 rich, and your trouble is amply repaid by the beauty of the flowers. Pansies will 

 stand the winter as far north as New York City ; to secure good plants for winter, 

 seed in July and plant in beds in September and October. Pansies are in every way 

 much more satisfactory for beds over winter than H3'acinths and Tulips. Packet, 3 

 cents. 



Petunia. — Annuals of great merit. A bed well placed with this plant will 

 more than repay for the little care necessary. Thej' commence flowering early and 

 continue until frost. Good soil and a sunny location is all that is necessary. All 

 the colors of the rainbow are to be found in our mixture. Packet, 3 cents. 



Phlox Druniniondii. — Of brilliant summer-flowering annuals the Phlox 

 Drummondii is unquestionabh- one of the most popular and satisfactory. Seed sown 

 in the open ground after danger of frost is past, will, in a few weeks produce a 

 beautiful effect and continue to bloom the entire season. As a cut flower for house 

 or church decoration, it is one of the best. Packet, 3 cents. 



Pinks (Chinese). Our mixture contains the most popular varieties, pro- 

 ducing an abundance of choice flowers of greatest possible variety. Packet, 3 cents. 



Poppies. — Few flowers have shown the benefit of intelligent culture as this 

 plant. The great improvement made in recent years has brought this flower to be 

 placed as one of the most important in culture. Brilliant and beautiful is our mix- 

 ture. Packet, 3 cents.

 sandy soil. Sow early and it will bloom from June to frost, literally covering the

 than a bed of this bright-red flower, bearing long spikes of flowers in great pro- 

 fusion from July till frost. Seed should be sown early and transplanted to perma- 

 nent bed as soon as danger of frost is past. Packet, 3 cents.
