Cupid. The praises of this dwarf white Sweet Pea have been ex- 

 tensively advertised of late. It does wonderfully well in some lo- 

 calities/and is recommended especially as an edging or a pot 

 plant. Manv have been debarred from trying this novelty because 

 of the high prices charged, so I offer it this year at a price that 

 all can afford. First class seed, raised bv a California specialist.

Sew American Seedlings. This strain Coffered for the first 

 time last year and sold at a high price) has given the greatest sat- \ 

 isfaction.'and I am sure you will find no handsomer mixture. My 

 seed is grown bv the originator of the strain. He says: "The col- % 



ors run from purest white, with a suggestion of pink, to the most 

 fiery scarlet. It has shades of buff, pink, rose, etc.. besides having 

 these colors edged with darker shades. Mypatch of American 

 Seedlings, now in bloom, is the most beautiful sight I have ever 

 seen." Note also the following clipping from the Florists' Ex- 

 change: 



"This (American Seedlings) is the most remarkable strain of Sweet Peas 

 ever produced, both from the manner of their production and their being 

 all the results of hybridizing and not the selection of 'sports.' These 

 seedlings run the gamut of colors and shades, excepting those known as 

 dark. Some are of expanded and some of hooded form, of the finest types. 

 They test: size, large; substance, fine; stems, long and slender." Pkt." 6 cts. ; 

 oz., 15 cts. 



Grandiflora, mixed. A very choice mixture, composed only of the grandi- 

 flora type, containing mostly light colors, with just enough dark to show off the 

 light. It is the result of several years' hybridizing by a Sweet Pea expert and 

 contains manv new varieties which are yet to be introduced as novelties.

SMILAX. 



No climbing plant surpasses the Smilax, not 

 only for the graceful beauty of the vine, but 

 for its value in decoration. "The seed should be 

 sown in pots or boxes, as it is very slow to germ- 

 inate, requiring a month or more; but it is easy 

 to cultivate. Although a perennial, it is better 

 to start new plants each year, and not try to keep 

 them after the leaves turn yellow. Pkt., 5 cts.

SENSITIVE PLANT 



(Mimosa Pudica). 



A really pretty plant with its 

 divided, fern-like foliage and attractive 

 pink blossoms, but it is cultivated 

 more for its curious habit of closing 

 its leaves at the slightest touch. Chil- 

 dren always enjov it. Tender annual.
