THUNBERGIA ALATA.

 them having white centers, others black.

 easy of cultivation. Trv it; it cannot fail to

STELLA SUNFLOWER 



The plant has nothing of the 

 coarse, straggling appearance of 

 of the common garden sunflower, 

 but with its small, graceful, glossy 

 green leaves is in itself quite or- 

 namental. Not over four feet 

 high, it can be raised where space 

 will not allow the taller varieties. 

 Its blossoms, miniature single 

 sunflowers, three inches across, of 

 purest golden yellow with small 

 black centers, grow on long stems, 

 splendid for cutting. Borne in 

 profusion all summer. Pkt., 4c. 



CALIFORNIA 

 DOUBLE SUNFLOWER. 



A wonderfully handsome dou- 

 ble sunflower, a vast improve- 

 ment on any I have before offered. 

 The plant "grows to a height of 

 four or five feet, bearing at its 

 summit an immense flower — and 

 yet not over large— densely dou- 

 ble, which lifts its face to the sun 

 for weeks. There are many other 

 blossoms equally showy, but those 

 on the side branches are not quite 

 as large. This is a most novel 

 and desirable plant. Pkt., 5 ctS. 



SCARLET RUNNER. 



The bean known as Scarlet Run- 

 ner is highly ornamental as well 

 as useful, 'it is a rapid climber, 

 growing to a height of ten feet, 

 and both in foliage and flower is 

 as pretty as many of its more ar- 

 istocratic neighbors. Pkt., 3c. 



VIRGINIAN STOCK 



Desirable little plants, bearing 

 small flowers of delicate mixed 

 colors, ranging from white thro' 

 shades of lilac, lavender and ma- 

 genta. Wonderfully pretty in a 

 mass, or for edgings. Found in 

 all old English gardens. Annual. 

 Pkt., 3 ctS. 



SWEET WILLIAM (Dianthus Barbatus). 



New and improved varieties of this old fashioned 

 flower are now offered, producing large heads of varied 

 colors. Its fragrance and early flowering add to its 

 popularity, while its hardiness especially adapts it for 

 the perennial bed. Although a hardy perennial, the 

 new plants do better, and seed should be sown every 

 year or two. If sown in the fall it will make fine bloom- 

 ing plants the following spring. Finest double and 

 single, mixed. Pkt., 2 cts.
