ROSE = FLOWERED BALSAMS 



Maulc's Double Superb Strain. 



These balsams are unrivalled for large 

 size, perfect form, robust habit and diver- 

 sity of rich and delicate colors. The flowers 

 are often two inches across, borne in won- 

 derful profusion, and are more uniformly 

 double than any other strain with which I 

 am acquainted. The habit of growth of the 

 plants is bushy and branching. Although 

 such generous bloomers, they are very shy 

 seeders. The range of color Includes while, 

 rose, yellow, buff, pomegranate red, scarlet, 

 crimson, purple, Lilac and violet.

 colors and forms of rose-flowered balsams, 

 as above described. Packet., 10 cents; A

Ageratum, Princess Pauline. 



AGERATUM. Princess Pauline. 



This is a welcome and beautiful addition to a most worthy group of bedding plants, as the 

 ageratumsare universal favorites. It bears a blue and white blossom, the color combina- 

 tion being novel and highly attractive. It is of compact, dwarf grow th, not exceeding live 

 or six inches in height, and a profuse bloomer. The peculiar, soft appearance of the (lower 

 heads, common to all ageratums, is intensified by the blending of the light bine and white 

 shades. I think Princess Pauline will become a widely popular sort. Pkt.. 10c: :i pkts., 25c. 



Double Rose-Flowered Balsams 



Marguerite Carnations. 

 Mammoth Flowering. 



This lovely, fragrant strain will pro- 

 duce large and handsome flowers In the 

 open air the first season from seed, 

 whereas the greenhouse carnation re- 

 quires at least six or eight months to 

 reach maturity. Marguerites are adapted 

 to window and greenhouse culture, but 

 their true place is in everybody's garden, 

 under the same treatment as that be- 

 stowed upon annuals. They are beauti- 

 ful, extremely sweet, and in every way 

 desirable in the dooryard garden, and if 

 my customers realized their merit and 

 availability, my sales would at once in- 

 crease tenfold. The flowers often attain 

 a diameter of two or even three inches. 



White.— Pure and delicate. 



Rose. — Clear rose pink. 



Scarlet.— Vivid scarlet red. 



Yellow.— Pretty canary yellow.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



Chinese and Japanese Varieties Mixed. 



I particularly recommend the sowing of choice,

 ment of yards, gardens and borders. The plants 

 are perennial in character, and if only the choices! 

 kinds be saved there will be an autumn bloom 

 year after year, that will glorify the landscape long 

 after all the annual flowers are killed by the frost.
