GREVILLEA ROBUSTA. 



This is known also as the "Silk Oak," and is a 

 valuable decorative plant, germinating readily 

 from seed, and miking in two or three months' 

 time a very ornamental little plant. The lacin- 

 iated foliage gives it somewhat the appearance of 

 a fern, but it is much more hardy, consequently 

 more useful as a decorative plant. Pkt., 8 cts. 



GYPSOPHILA 



PANICULATA. 



No lady who does 

 decorating or who de- 

 lights to adorn her 

 rooms with beautiful 

 flowers should be with- 

 out the Gypsophila. Its 

 fairy, mist-like sprays 

 of delicate white blos- 

 soms have also given 

 it the appropriate 

 names of "Vanity," or 

 "Baby's Breath." By 

 itself it is of no value, 

 but mixed with coarser 

 flowers, it sets off a 

 bouquet as dainty lace 

 does a lady's dress. It 

 is a hardy "perennial, of 

 easy cultivation, and 

 will continue to bloom 

 for years, furnishing a 

 never failing supply 

 of delicate sprays for 

 each needed occasion. 

 Pkt., 3 cts. 



HEUCHERA SANGUINEA. 



One of the finest of recently introduced hardy perennials. The plants are dwarf 

 and compact, with evergreen foliage, beautifully cut and marbled and slightly hairy. 

 The flowers are a brilliant red and, though small, are borne in such extrava'gant a- 

 bundance on the long, graceful spikes as to make, with the sunlight upon them, a 

 fairly dazzling appearance. They remain in bloom several weeks, lending their 

 brilliant color to the garden bed, or are graceful and pretty for cutting. Very easy 

 of cultivation. Pkt., 5 cts. 



LEMOINE'S GIANT HELIOTROPE. 



I am pleased to offer, this year, seed of this unsurpassed new strain of Heliotrope. 

 With its large, glossy leaves and immense heads of deliriously fragrant flowers, much 

 larger than in the ordinary varieties, it is indeed a magnificent plant. A single truss 

 in a well developed plant measures from ten to fifteen inches across and contains 

 thousands of individual florets. Any attempt to adequately describe this wonderfully 

 beautiful strain would be characterized as overdrawn and simply a catalogue "catch." 

 It will not cost much to ascertain the credibility of what is claimed for this new Giant 

 Heliotrope, and I am sure you will be delighted with the results. If kept in a 

 rather warm temperature, according to directions in my "Culture of Flowers," the 

 seed will be found to germinate readily. Pkt., 6 cts.
