Marguerite 

 Carnation. 



Many beautiful varieties of 

 Carnations may be obtained from seed, equaling 

 the greenhouse-grown blooms in fulness and 

 fragrance. These new favorites are a great ad- 

 vance over the old varieties, as they will be in 

 blossom in from two to four months from seed 

 sown in the open ground. If taken up and cut 

 back they make line plants for the window in 

 winter, or seed may be sown at any time in pots 

 for indoor blooming. Fully eighty per cent will 

 come double. Choice mixed. Pkt., 5 cts. 



Giant Marguerite Carnation. 



A new, large flowering, wonderfully improved 

 strain. The blossoms are very double, with pet- 

 als beautifully fringed, and under proper cultiva- 

 tion will often measure three inches across. 

 Mixed, including the new yellow carnation. 



Pkt,, 8 cts. 



Mormordicn 



Gharantia, 

 "Balsam Pear." 



An ornamental climber of the 

 Gourd family. It makes a 

 rapid growth and affords a 

 splendid dense shade. The 

 foliage and flower are both 

 very pretty and it is agreat cur- 

 iosity to see hanging from 

 the vines the long pear-shaped 

 fruits, in various tints of deli- 

 cate green, from the tiny new- 

 ly formed,to full grown orange 

 yellow, covered with warty ex- 

 crescenses, but most curious of 

 all is its habit of bursting open, 

 showing the seeds, clinging to 

 the walls, each incased in a 

 brilliant crimson jacket.

Eldorado Marigold. 



The Eldorado grows very rank and tall and is sur 

 mounted by great golden balls, sometimes fourteen 

 inches in circumference. As many as fifty or sixty 

 blossoms have been counted on a single plant at one 

 time. The flowers are very double, with petals quill- 

 ed as in the Dahlia, appearing in shades of lemon, 

 golden or orange yellow. It is bv far the handsomest 

 of all the Marigolds. Pkt., 3 cts., 2 pkts., 5 cts. 



Dwarf French Marigold. 



Those who object to the Marigold because it is 

 coarse and straggling will find in the dwarf varieties, 

 compact and ornamental plants. The miniature 

 blossoms, too, in various shades of yellow and 1 

 bronze, make a brilliant show in the garden. Chil- 

 dren enjoy them because they are so easy to grow. 

 Mixed, including Legion of Honor, Pulchra and many 

 other choice double and single varieties. Pkt., 3 

 CtS,, 2 pkts., 5 Cts.
