Physalis Franchetti 



The Chinese Lantern Plant, 

 introduced from Japan, allied 

 to the Winter Cherry. Noted 

 for its ruby red fruit encased 

 in large inflated husks, which 

 turn to a bright orange scarlet 

 in the fall. The fruit may be 

 used for preserving or eaten 

 raw. Hardy perenniai. 



Pkt., 4 cts. 



GiaNT PANSY, "Masterpiece." 



I am glad to be able to offer my customers this remarkable new 

 Pansy. The border of each petal is conspiciously curled or flut- 

 ed, giving the flower a unique double appearance. The enormous 

 blossoms are borne well above the foliage on strong stems. They 

 come in various colors, some tints being distinct from those 

 found in any other pansy. Each petal is marked with a large 

 dark blotch, and most of the flowers are margined with a white 

 or yellow edge. Pkt., 8 cts. 



Oardner, Mass., Aug., 1900.— "This makes my third order this year. All my

 some new variety open." Ella Merriam.
