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



Frees ia liefracta 

 Jilba, 



This favorite flower 

 comes easily and quickly 

 from seed. Sow the seed 

 now and have blooming 

 bulbs for winter. Very fra- 

 grant. 



Packet, 50 seeds, 5c. 



Fragaria Indica. 



Chinese Strawberry. 



Hardy perennial, herba- 

 ceous creeper, from India, 

 with yellow blossoms, and 

 bright red fruit, like small 

 strawberries. Elegant for 

 rook work or hanging bas- 

 kets. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c. 



Fuchsia., Double and single 

 mixed. 



My seeds of this beautiful plant 

 have been saved from a splendid 

 collection of named sorts. Sow 

 in March in shallow pots and 

 transplant when large enough. 

 Double and single named sorts. 



Packet, 25 seeds, 10c. 

 Ferns. These are greatly ad- 

 mired for window and 

 house decoration, and, when es- 

 tablished, are very easily man- 

 aged, and more hardy than most 

 other house plants. The seeds are 

 very small and fine. Sow in shal- 

 low boxes of light, peaty soil, 

 and keep moist by covering wiih 

 fine moss. A temperature of 60 

 degrees is about right. Pkt., 6c. 



Trailing Fuchsia Procumbens. 



One of the very best trailing plants we have for 

 house, basket, vase, or window. Foliage small and 

 thick. Flowers curious in shape; color red, with 

 blue anthers. Mixed with the blooms in great quan- 

 tities, appear bright red berries a little larger than 

 cherries, which stay on for nearly six months. 

 Packet, 15 seeds, 10c. 



Cape Fuchsia, Phygelius Capensis. 



During our past dry summer this was never out 

 of bloom, while geraniums alongside of it were 

 perishing. When barely a few inches high, bears 

 from 10 to 20 bold, long spikes, completely crowded 

 with showy, scarlet drooping flowers, persistently 

 produced from May until winter, and even then in 

 the house. This is a good plant for bedding and 

 for winter blooming. Packet, 50 seeds, 6c. 



Four O' Clocks. 



Marvel of Peru (Mirabilis.) The improved^ 

 Four O'clock is one of our most desirable plants 

 It grows in any soil and under any treatment. 

 Planted like peas, they soon m.ake a row of plants 

 smothered with flowers, which have the strange 

 habit of remaining closed until exactly 4 o'clock, 

 when they burst out in their glory. For planting 

 where other flowers will not grow, and ease of 

 cultivation, nothing equals them. The roots are 

 hardy and perennial, growing from year to year. 

 They can also be wintered in the cellar. 

 2Vew Four O' Clock with Variegated Leaves. (See Illustration of Spray.) This new variety makes a 

 very ornamental plant when planted alone or in rows. The leaves and flowers are very beautifully variegated- 

 white, creamy-white and green. Many plants costing large sums of money do not compare in beauty and variety 

 with this plant. Packet, 50 seeds, 5c.; oz., 20c. 



Tom Thumb, Mixed. New Dwarf with Variegated leaves. Very handsome, compact, dwarf, bushy 

 plants, with elegant golden-variegated foliage; numerous brilliant flowers— pure yellow, deep red, and striped 

 and blotched. Packet, 40 seeds, 5c. 

 Sweet'Scented Four O' Clock. (Longiflora.) Long, tubular, sweet-scented flowers. White and purple. 



Packet, 50 seed8, 5c.; oz., 15c. 

 Marvel of Peru, Mixed. All colors. Packet, 60 seeds, 4c.; oz., 15c. 



One packet of each of the four kinds for 15c. 

 Ateuf Hardy Four O' Clock Multiflora. Very distinct Four O'Clock. Produces clusters of bouquets of 9 to 12 

 large violet flowers. Perfectly hardy. This is a rare plant, and I don't think you can get the seed anywhere else 

 in tne country. Packet, 80 seeds, 10c.
