Aster -Mikado Pink 



A fine new variety. Petals are nar- 

 row, very long and gracefully reflex- 

 ed, making it the fluffiest Aster we 

 have ever seen. In color it is a most 

 exquisite shade of shell pink. For a 

 mid-season pink Aster it is without a 

 rival. The plants are unusually vigor- 

 ous, succeeding everywhere. It is not 

 uncommon to find plants with a dozen 

 long, strong, graceful stems each 

 crowned with flowers from four to six 

 inches in diameter. Per pkt. 10 cts. 



Dimorphotheca Aurantica 



AFRICAN GOLDEN DAISY 



A rare and extremely showy annual, dis- 

 covered in South Africa. It will quickly be- 

 come a great favorite everywhere on account 

 of its very easy culture and beautiful col- 

 ored flowers. The plants grow about a foot 

 high and are very profuse in flowering. Its 

 Marguerite-like blossoms, 2Y 2 inches in di- 

 ameter, show a peculiarly rich glossy orange 

 gold, with a dark center. Well adapted for 

 groups or borders, it produces its pretty 

 flowers very early in sunny situations and 

 will continue to flower during the summer 

 months. A bed in bloom is a magnificent 

 sight in bright days.

A Novelty Sunflower 



RED SUNFLOWER 



For countless thousands of years Sunflowers of all kinds have brightened the earth with 

 flowers of golden yellow. Now nature has suddenly given us a Sunflower with blossoms of 

 a beautiful chestnut-red, growing six to eight feet high, some plants produce flowers of a 

 claret red, other flowers tipped with yellow, others primrose splashed wfth red. As easily 

 grown as any of the common Sunflowers. The flowers vary from a few inches to nearly a 

 foot in diameter. A striking novelty in the garden which attracts attention everywhere. 

 The long stemmed flowers are beautiful and lasting. We have been selecting this strain of 

 Red Sunflower carefully so as to get plants mostly with red flowers, but a few plants will 

 likely still produce yellow flowers. As these plants have no purple in stem or leaf, they can 

 be pulled out when seedlings and destroyed. 



Last season we run short on this seed, but have an ample supply this year. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 cts., 4 pkts. 25 cts.
