cut through with a sharp knife, care being taken not to cut any deeper 



than the hard shell and the seed planted about one inch deep in moist 



soil in a box or pan and set in a warm place. If the soil be kept moist,

This strain produces flowers 

 of immense size and in a 

 splendid variety of color and markings. Some of the flowers are bril- 

 liant red or rich blue; others are equally brilliant, with broad margins 

 of clear white. Some blossoms are striped and dotted with blue 

 or red on white or lemon yellow ground, others are clouded with blue 

 and red; the foliage in some plants comes plain green, in others it is 

 mottled with white and shades of yellow or yellowish-green. Our seed 

 is the very best it is possible to produce. It is sometimes slow to 

 germinate but if a slight notch is filed or cut in one end and the seed 

 soaked a few hours in lukewarm water the plants will come up more 

 quickly Pkt. Sets 



A i¥i*rfcT».a T\\is new strain is a result of crossing the common 

 Jr%. Ul (Jl^cl Morning Glory with the Giant Japanese and combines to 

 a remarkable degree the vigor and hardiness of the first with the size 

 and rich coloring of the flowers of the second. The flowers are decided- 

 ly larger and of heavier texture than those of the common Morning 

 Glory and are uniformly either a rich, deep blue shading to a white 

 or rose-colored throat, or an exceedingly rich, dark carmine. We con- 

 sider it the most florif erous and practically useful strain of convolvu- 

 lus in cultivation and recommend it as one of the best summer 

 climbers. The planter is sure to get satisfactory results Pkt. Sets 



Mourning Bride 



(Scabiosa, or Siceet Scabious). This is one of the most attractive of 

 the old fashioned flowers. Its great abundance and long succession 

 of rich colored fragrant blossoms borne on long stems make it one of 

 the most useful of the decorative plants of the garden. It has been 

 greatly improved of late years, producing larger and more double 

 flowers of greater variety and brilliancj; of color than in the old 

 type. Hardy annual; twelve to eighteen inches high.
