 though the flowers are 

 much larger and more 

 double, as well as more

Pyrethrum Hybridum. 



A beautiful, early-flowering, hardy perennial. 

 The foliage is finely cut and quite ornamental; 

 the flowers are in vivid shades of rose and pink, 

 as large as an Aster, and remarkable for the 

 length of time they remain perfect. Perfectly 

 hardy and easily raised from seed. Devote some 

 odd corner of the garden to them and grow a mass of 

 them They come in time for Decoration and Chil- 

 dren's Days and are splendid for all cut flower pur- 

 poses. Very showy and pretty, and entirely hardy 

 anywhere, even in the North. Pkt., 3 cts. 



Salpiglossis, "The Emperor." 



Sometimes called "Wild Beauties of Bogota/ 1 It bears 

 very graceful, funnel-shaped flowers, growing in clusters 

 on long stems in innumerable colors— yellow, orange, 

 crimson, bronze, lilac, blue, purple and almost black 

 shades, the petals in each case being curiously marbled and penciled. 

 Annual, of easy cultivation. The "Emperor 11 is a new strain, much 

 more vigorous, with larger flowers, and a higher germinating power 

 than the ordinary Sulphiglossis. Mixed. Pkt., 4 cts. 



Rosa Poly ant ha 

 Multiflora Nana, or 

 "Little Midgef'Rose, 

 is a charming litile 

 plant about 10 inches 

 nigh,bearingclusters 

 of minute roses only 

 an inch across, doub- 

 le, semi-double or 

 sometimes single. 

 The many-flowered 

 clusters look like a 

 mass of double crab- 

 apple blossoms. I can assure my custom- 

 ers who wish to try this recent novelty 

 that I have taken pains to secure the best 

 seed and true to name. Not all the Rosa 

 Polyantha seed is of this dwarf, early- 

 flowering variety. It blooms in a. few 

 weeks from planting, though not attain- 

 ing perfection until the second year. 

 Pkt., 6 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 clos- 

 ing its leaves at the slightest touch. Children al- 

 ways enjoy it. Tender annual. Pkt., 3 cts. 



Troy, N. H., May, 1900. — "I was very much pleased with my 

 Stocks. They were the finest in town." Irene A. Rich.
