Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds, 



Grand Success Coleus. 



This valuable selection has proven a success, surprise and delight 

 to all. Every variation, color and marking we have ever seen in the 

 finest assorted Coleus is included in the " Success Coleus." 

 Start the seed in boxes, pots or pans. When the little plants show 

 four leaves, thin out by transplanting a proportion to other pots, etc., 

 and thus " SUCCESS COLEUS" can be grown until the season for 

 planting out in the open ground, which should not be done until all 

 danger of frost is past. We have thoroughly graded and mixed 

 " SUCCESS COLEUS," and put it into liberal packets, so that a 

 single packet can be depended on for a complete collection of colors 

 and markings, and sufficient plants for a medium-sized bed. Per pkt., 

 15 cts ; 4 pkts., 50 cts.; 9 pkts., $1. 



New Begonia Vulcan. 



This grand new variety is a seedling Begonia Vernon. All the 

 good qualities of Vernon are intensified in the Vulcan, which might 

 be called appropriately " The Scarlet Vernon Begonia," 

 Planted side by side, the Vulcan is identically of the same growth 

 and free-flowering character, while it completely eclipses the Vernon in 

 the intense brilliancy of the flowers. Each plant is covered with in- 

 tense fiery scarlet flowers, even the stamens being tipped with fiery 

 red. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.; 10 pkts., $1. 



New Verbena Superfine Strain. 



To easily grow the best Verbenas, they should be raised from 

 seed, as plants raised from cuttings seem to be more subject to dis- 

 ease and rust than ever, while plants raised from our Superfine Mixed 

 Seed, sown in March, are a mass of healthy flowers and foliage, 

 almost as dense as Sweet Alyssum Little Gem, and nearly as fragrant. 

 The superb strain of Verbenas here offered is beyond question the 

 finest ever sent out. The trusses are large with flowers of unusual 

 size, embracing a remarkable range of colors, shades and markings. 

 From early Summer until late Fall the plants produce their magnifi- 

 cent flowers in great abundance. The seed should be sown early in 

 pots, boxes or hotbeds, and transplanted when 3 or 4 inches high. 

 Per pkt., 15 cts.; 4 pkts., 50 cts.; 9 pkts., $1. 



Carnation Marguerite (New Dwarf Double.) 



This is a grand novelty, producing in wonderful profusion through- 

 out the entire season flowers of splendid form, equaling the finest 

 Carnations in size and substance. It grows as readily from seed as a 

 China Pink, and is in full bloom twelve to fifteen weeks after sowing. 



Equally good for pot or garden culture. Fully ninety per cent, of 

 flowers are double ; their fragrance is delicious. The range of color 

 is marvelous and includes yellow. Be sure to try this lovely Carna- 

 tion. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; 14 pkts., $1. 



Our New Fancy-Flowering Strain of Petunias. 



This is unquestionably the finest and most valuable strain of 

 Petunias in existence. Every year the crop is graded to a certain high 

 type, which is few seeded, and the minute seeds carefully gathered by 

 hand. The cost of production is so great that the crop is actually 

 worth more than the same weight of gold. The flowers are grand in 

 size and are produced in great abundance. The colors range from 

 pure white through the delicate shades of rose to deep pink, some 

 flowers being marked and stained in the most beautiful manner, while 

 the purple and dark colors are strikingly beautiful ; our mixture is 

 made with care, so that a fine collection of distinct varieties, double 

 and fringed, can be raised from a single packet. This strain will 

 satisfy and delight all lovers of flowers. Per pkt., 20 cts.; 3 pkts., 50 

 cts.; 7 pkts., $1. 



Phlox Grandiflora Mixed. 



We believe Grandiflora Mixed Phlox to be the grandest strain 

 ever introduced. The habit of growth is very neat and compact ; the 

 flowers are of uniform size (about one inch in diameter), and are pro- 

 duced in the greatest profusion ; the colors embraced in this mixture 

 show a wonderful diversity ; comprising 28 distinct shades and mark- 

 ings. Every order should include some of this superb strain. Per 

 pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; % oz., 50 cts.; per oz., $1. 



Cosmos Hybridus. 



This magnificent race of plants is of rapid growth, quickly attain- 

 ing a height of 5 to 7 feet. The bushes are a mass of elegant foliage 

 until they bloom in September. From then until November the plants 

 are literally covered with snowy flowers, resembling Dahlias. They 

 range in color through all shades of rose purple, flesh and pure white. 

 They are easily raised from seed, and increase in popularity year 

 after year. A writer in " Success with Flowers " says the 

 plants will continue blooming into the Winter if taken up and potted 

 and brought indoors. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



The Yellow Aster. 



After years of vain attempts, a yellow Aster has at last been pro- 

 duced It is a perfect double and of the brightest sulphur yellow. 

 Excellent for cuttings. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.
