J. STEGKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



Jean d' Arc — A grand variety. The 

 nearest approach to a pure white in the 

 family. 



P. Crozy — A grand hybrid between the 

 Zonales and Ivies, having the foliage of the 

 former, but very heavy in texture, while 

 the forms and truss of florets are found 

 only among the Ivies. The color is soft 

 bright scarlet. 



Leopard — A year's trial of this variety 

 confirms us in our estimate of its value. It 

 has proven a splendid grower, healthy and 

 free ; produces its blooms in abundance, is 

 satisfactory in every essential, besides be- 

 ing most remarkable in size and in beauty 

 of the color arrangement, which is a dainty 

 lavender pink flamed and dotted in crimson. 

 This variety will soon be found in every 

 good collection ; 25c. and 50c. each. 



Ryecroft Surprise — A seedling from 

 Souv. de Chas. Turner ; of bold, vigorous 

 upright habit, producing flowers of a lovely 

 and distinct shade of salmon rose. 



Souv. de Chas. Turner — Deep bright 

 pink; still unexcelled. Indispensable with 

 every florist. 



Prices, 15c. each; $1.50 per dozen, and 

 25c. each ; $2.50 per dozen except where 

 noted. 



Geranium Pelargonium. (Lady Wash- 

 ingtons.) We have a good collection of 

 these fine pot plants in fine variety; 25 

 and So cents. 



GRAND NEW SINGLE GERA- 

 NIUM, "TELEGRAPH." 



The most distinct introduction in this 

 line for many years ; a variety that has 

 been thoroughly tested and which is certain 

 to be classed at once with the very best 

 standard sorts either as a pot plant or for 

 bedding. 



It is a strong robust grower with dark 

 green foliage and heavy zone while, both 

 the individual flowers and the trusses are 

 of mammoth size, in color it is a most 

 pleasing rich deep orange cerise ; 25c. and 

 50c. each. 



GLOXINIAS. This class of gorgeous 

 summer-blooming bulbous rooted plants 

 can be grown successfully with ordinary 

 care, flowering in six or eight weeks after 

 the bulbs are placed in the soil. They 

 should be started in a green house, hot bed 

 or sunny window. They will bloom until 

 late summer, when they should be dried 

 off, letting the leaves die. The pots con- 

 taining the bulbs or the bulbs themselves 

 must be kept out of reach of frost or 

 severe freezing. They are natives of 

 tropical America, and are among the most 



Gloxinias. 



ornamental of our tender flowering plants, 

 having been wonderfully improved by 

 culture. See illustration. Mixed colors, in- 

 cluding many handsome shades of pink, 

 blue and white, fine plants ; 25 and 50 cents 

 each. 



HELIOTROPE. Of these popular fra- 

 grant blossoms, we have selected those 

 which are most adaptable to our southern 

 climate, size of flower, color and fragrance, 

 our standpoint in selection. 



Reine des Violets— Color dark blue, 

 very free and of great substance, fragrance 

 exceptionally sweet and rare. 



Jean Poitevine — A most pleasant shade 

 of light blue with small white eye, very 

 fragrant and flowers in great abundance. 



Snow Queen— A strong variety; habit, 

 strong and vigorous, and also very fra- 

 grant, color clear white. 



Sapphire— Violet blue, one of the best. 



La Duse — Plant about 12 inches tall, 

 with the prettiest foliage of any heliotrope 

 extant, small, stiff and glossy; the habit, 

 also, is unique, as the stiff stems are quite 

 uniform in height and support enormous 

 trusses of bloom that are semi-globular in 

 form, making a great spread of color, which 

 is blue shading to lavender; the odor is ex- 

 quisite. In the recent very dry summer 

 this grand variety was the one noticeable 

 sort in the field, growing and blooming 

 persistently. What it will be like in a 

 season of normal moisture, we can hardly 

 predict. Price, 25c. each. 



Prince Citarmant — Another variety 

 with handsome foliage, extremely free in 

 bloom, color a lovely tint of bluish mauve. 

 Like all of the Bruant type, this variety 

 has panicles of bloom of enormous size. 

 Is dwarf and compact in growth, and a 

 great advance on older sorts.
