Old-fashioned garden plant and among 

 the most desirable of hardy flowers, also 

 known as Dame"e Rocket and Dame's Vio- 

 let; grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and bears 

 spikes of showy white, lilac and purple fra- 

 grant flowers. Excellent for naturalizing

^atpigtossis Grandiftora* ^ %^ 



A very large, strongly marked 

 flower. Free bloomer, long stems, resem- 

 bles a petunia with a rich gloss. Colors 

 delicate blue, straw and rose, to richest 

 crimsons and maroon. Pkt., 150 seeds, 4c. 



Ease of culture is the first quality 

 that commends the Salpiglossis to all 

 amateur gardeners. It thrives in any 

 good garden soil and in almost any 

 situation, though, like other flowers, 

 it responds readily to good treatment. 

 The New Emperor strain is a very great improvement on the older type in its increased size of flowers, their improved 

 shape and larger variety of colors, and, more than all else, in their singularly beautiful veinings of gold. These are the 

 only flowers, to our knowledge, that show a glint of gold in their coloring. Pkt., 150 seeds, SCc 



QoUnum Jerusalem Cherry.r^ 



Easily grown plants with orna- 

 mental fruit. Especially fine for pots 

 and last a long time in beauty. The 

 fruit is about the size and color of a 

 cherry. The plants can be grown out 

 of doors and then be potted up in Sep- 

 tember for house use. Of easiest cul- 

 ture. Pkt., sc.
