MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



SWAINSONIA, WHITE. 



This plant has been grown ex- 

 tensively the last four or five 

 years by the florists as a eut 

 flower ; in fact, nothing is more 

 beautiful than the graceful 

 sprays loaded from tip to base 

 with large, pure, white, waxy, 

 sweet-pea-like flowers, ensconced 

 among the beautiful green 

 acacia-like foliage. The plant 

 is easy to grow, begins to flower 

 when very small, and is in flower 

 nearly the year around ; for 

 winter or summer, inside or out, 

 it is at home. Grows quickly from 

 seed. Packet seed, 10c. 

 Plants, 15c. each ; 3 for 25c. 



Scabiosa, Double Grandi/lora. Gypsies' Bonnets. 



If people only knew how handsome and ornamental 

 these charming flowers are for all purposes, no garden 

 would be without them. They are almost as durable 

 when cut as everlastings. They are good for vases, 

 bouquets, as a loose cut flower and personal wear. 

 For decorations of all kinds, as a flower to eut and 

 work up and exhibit at fair time, nothing is better. 

 The flowers and foliage also have marked curative 

 properties for soothing and allaying all irritations of 

 the skin. The flowers are large, double and lustrous. 

 Some velvet blacks are flecked with gold, snow white, 

 rose, pink, fiery crimson, azure blue, purple, red striped 

 and golden, carnation, cherry and lilac. Packet, all 

 kinds mixed, 100 seeds, 5c.
