NEW DOUBLE 

 YELLOW DATURA. 



Like the single Datura in 

 shape and size, only instead 

 of one funnel there are two 

 or three distinct funnels 

 growing one within the oth- 

 er, of a beautiful. soft,golden 

 yellow color. This is far 

 superior in every respect to 

 the "Cornucopia," which 

 has been sold the last year 

 or two as a novelty, giving 

 three times as many blos- 

 soms and commencing to 

 bloom far earlier, the flow- 

 ers being in addition de- 

 liciously fragrant. This 

 proved "last season all and 

 more than the highly com- 

 mendatory catalogue de- 

 scription, " and for cutting 

 lasted much better than the 

 single. Pkt., 5 cts.

 Heterophylla.the'Mex 



ican Fire Plant." and Varie- 



The California state flower, dotting her gala, "Snow on the Moun 



meadows, making them fairly vellow 

 with their abundant blossoms. This mix- 

 ture contains both the old and the new 

 variety— the "Cross of Malta. - " whose 

 flowers are a gorgeous canary yellow 

 with a maltese cross of deep orange in 

 the center. The leaves are finely cut and 

 pretty for green. Pkt., 3 cts. 



tain,'" mixed. Both are 

 remarkable for their showv 

 foliage, the leaves in the 

 former turning to a brilliant 

 orange scarlet, those of the 

 latter, prettily veined with 

 white, looking like immense 

 clusters of white blossoms.

GIANT ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 



A new Eschscholtzia, offered for the first time this year by Mrs. Shep- 

 herd, of California, who has made a nation-wide reputation for her Cos- 

 mos. She says: " These Giant Eschscholtzias measure from 3^ to 6 

 inches in diameter. The petals are large and overlapping, some being 

 delicately waved at the edges, some very deep with flaring edges, some 

 saucer-shaped, others quite flat: in somethe contrast between the orange 

 and yellow is very marked, while in others the orange blends almost 

 imperceptibly into the yellow. In color they are a clear, beautiful yel- 

 low variously marked with orange. The plants begin blooming when 

 very young a'nd continue to bloom profusely for several months. " Pkt..6e. 



The blossom is large and funnel-shaped, measuring five or 

 more inches across, and delicately scented, the throat being 

 soft and velvety, of a beautiful creamy white, delicately tinted 

 lilac. As many as 200 blossoms have been borne by a single 

 plant in a season. It is variously called "Sweet Nightingale," 

 "Sweet Jessamine" or "Moon Flower." Although perennial, it 

 may be treated as an annual. Pkt.. 3 Cts.
