 cies of Chrysant hemum measure 12 

 inches or "more in circumference,

THE BLUE SOLANUfl. 



Solarium Seaforthianum. 

 Certainly one of the finest climb- 

 ing plants lately introduced. Every 

 one is well acquainted with Sola- 

 rium Jasminoides, and its merits 

 are greatly appreciated. In "The 

 Blue Solanum," we have a far supe- 

 rior plant in every respect. It is of 

 robust growth, soon making fine 

 specimens that will climb over and 

 cover a porch with the most hand- 

 somely cut foliage. It is covered 

 during the late summer months 

 with hundreds of clusters of large, 

 lavender blue, "Wistaria-like flow- 

 ers, brightly set off with golden sta- 

 mens, each cluster measuring 15 

 inches in circumference, and often 

 attaining a length of 12 inches. The 

 flowers are succeeded by bright 

 scarlet berries, remaining perfect 

 for a long time. It is the most beau- 

 tiful flowering vine that we have

 cents; 6 for $1.00, postpaid.

 fully selected, and many of them 

 are beautifully fringed. Ten dis- 

 tinct varieties. 15 cts. each; 4 for

 petunia seed, see page 81. 



HOLT'S MAMMOTH SAGE. 



After having thoroughly grown and tested this valuable variety for several years, I can 

 r »j|"|^recommend it most highly. The plants are very strong-growing, the first season attaining 

 XVl^pone foot in height and spreading so that a single plant covers a circular space three feet in 

 \ diameter. The leaves are borne well above the soil, keeping them clean; they are very 

 \. large and of unusual substance, strong in flavor and of superior auality. A single plant of 

 Holt's Mammoth will yield more than a dozen plants of the common Sage. It is perfectly 

 hardy, even in Xew England, and attains still larger growth the second season. 



3 plants for 25 cents; 7 for 50 cents; 15 for $1.00, postpaid. 



NEW GOLDEN LEHON THYflE. 



This handsome and wonderful Thyme is perfectly hardy, spreading itself and growing 

 as rapidly as the old Thyme. The leaves are curiously edged and variegated with golden 

 yellow, increasing in brilliancy of color as autumn approaches. Its usefulness as an edg- 

 ing or border plant has no superior, and if properly jruned during the summer season 

 will produce a most charming effect in the fall months. As a basket plant it is also desir- 

 able. Its fragrance is most delightful, resembling the sweet Lemon Verbena, while the fra- 

 grance of the old Thyme is still anparent. In addition to its highly ornamental qualities, 

 it is equally as desirable for culinary purposes as the old Thyme. 



15 cents each; 2 for 25 cents; 10 for SI. 00, postpaid. 



One plant eacn of New Golden Thyme and Holt's Mammoth 

 Sage sent postpaid for 20 cents; 2 plants of each for 35 cents; 

 5 plants of each for 75 cents.
