CANDYTUFT. 

 New Snow Queen. 



An entirely distinct spe- 

 cies, of marvelous beauty. 

 In full flower for three 

 months. The very hand- 

 some tufted, pure white 

 flowers are produced in 

 such great abundance that 

 each plant resembles a ball 

 of snow, and would seem, 

 at a little distance, to be 

 a single mass of white. As 

 a bedding or border plant, 

 it would be hard to find its 

 superior, while even a 

 single plant is most at- 

 tractive. Packet, 10 cents; 

 3 packets, 25 cents.

Snow Queen. 



ZEBRA ZINNIAS. 



This strain presents a new departure in Zinnias, bearing large, perfectly double flowers as 

 evenly imbricated as a Camellia. The flowers are variously striped and mottled, presenting all 

 colors and shades known in the Zinnia, such as crimson, pink, orange, yellow, violet, rose, while, 

 etc. An interesting characteristic of the Zebra Zinnia is a tendency shown by some of the plants, 

 to throw out a branch on which the flowers are self-colored, while all the other blooms are varie- 

 gated or striped, making a striking and unique contrast. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

In presenting this veajr handsome and distinct Large Flowering Stocks, I feel confident 

 that in doing so I introduce a variety without an equal. Produces long pyramidal spikes of 

 beautiful perfectly double flowers of a rich lavender color, changing to azure blue, which give 

 out a rich, spicy fragrance not attained in any other variety. As a bedder, cannot be sur- 

 passed and is equally desirable as a pot plan Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



STOCKS. lobe Pyramidal. 



In the new large flowering Globe Pyramidal Stocks, I have the most magnificent 

 race yet perfected. Both the spikes and flowers are very large, the individual blooms 

 frequently measuring from two to two and one-half 

 inches in diameter. The large double and perfect flowers 

 are produced in great profusion, the spikes being com- 

 pactly pyramidal in shape, and the plants of neat habit 

 of growth. I offer the Globe Pyramidal Stocks in a very 

 fine mixture of twenty beautiful and distinct shades and 

 colors. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



CAHPANULA. Cup and Saucer. 



A new, entirely distinct and exceedingly beautif'it va- 

 riety of Canterbury Bells, and is quite an acquisition to this 

 class of hardy perennials, which are at present receiving a 

 great deal of attention, both at home and abroad. The 

 bell or trumpet of the flower is quite three inches in 

 diameter, presenting the form of a cup and saucer, as 

 shown in illustration below. Colors are blue, rose, lilac 

 and white, and also includes the new striped 



sorts, which are entirely new and distinct, 

 and as yet very scarce and expensive. The 

 plants are of strong growth, and their beauti- 

 ful blooms almost completely hide the foliage 

 from view. Not one of my customers should 

 fail to plant this new Campanula. Packet, 10 

 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

 size, often a foot across In rich soil. The flowers, which open in the 

 morning, are 3 inches or more across, of a beautiful rose color, and are 

 borne In large clusters very freely from July to frost. Every part of the 

 vine is thickly covered with short reddish hairs which, with its immense

 mental. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
