MISS MAliY E. MARTIN. FLORAL I'ARK, NEW YORK. 



Peritla cH^nkinensis. J> J- ^^ 



The foliage of this plant is exceedingly elegant, 

 of a very dark purple color, and produces a charming 

 contrast, growing freely in any soil. Pkt., 100 seeds, 4c. 



Honesty Lunaria Annua Striped- 

 Leaved* 



A new annual variety of great beauty, with variegated 

 leaves, admired for its silvery seed pouches, which are 

 used for house ornaments, as they present a beautiful 

 and very curious appearance ; 2 feet. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c. 



PurpL 



(Pennisetum ftuppelianum.) 



An annual which frodiices plu77ies by rnidsunimer. 



This is undoubtedly one of the most ornamental decor- 

 ative grasses ever introduced, and will be found as useful 

 for room, hall, or table decoration as many a palm, while 

 having the advantage of rapid and vigorous growth, and 

 being easier to manage. 



Its graceful, narrow curving leaves produced by the 

 hundreds in succession, are overtopped by most elegant 

 purple feather plumes a foot long, which by themselves 

 are quite ornamental as vase decorations and can also 

 be used for dry grass bouquets. 



Sown as late as March, it makes a bold plant, unlike 

 any other in the garden, always a feature of attraction. 

 If grown in pots, no one could wish for anything more 

 graceful. This novelty has been greatly admired wher- 

 ever shown. Pkt., 5c. 



J^ochia Scoparia 



This plant is at once unique, ornamental, and 

 very beautiful. The rounded, globe-like forms resemble a 

 delicate evergreen highly colored. The plants branch 

 freely, and the stemsare clothed with slender light-green 

 leaves. Early in the fall the ends of the shoots are thickly 

 set with small, bright-scarlet flowers, the bushy plants 

 resembling balls of fii'e. The plants are equally showy 

 planted singly to show the round, ball-like form on all 

 sides or grown in continuous rows or hedges; a very 

 striking plant. Large pkt., 5c.
