ESCHSCHOLTZIA. 



CALIFORNIA POPPY. 



DOUGLASSL— A new dwarf Eschscholtzia. Only 

 10 inches high, with finely cut, greyish green foliage. The 

 flowers are clear lemon yellow with orange markings 

 and somewhat cup-shaped. Its early and profuse pro- 

 duction of flowers is one of its distinctive merits. Packet,

C AN I CU LATA.— Pose, tinted with white and lemon Tecoma Smithii. 



shades. The graceful petals are fluted and folded, and there is a prim- 

 rose hue at the throat. An exquisite new Eschscholtzia, and a grand 

 addition to its class. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



BUDDLIA VARIABILIS. Pride of China. 



A novelty from China of very great merit as a hardy shrub. I am 

 greatly pleased wit h the beauty of its flowers. It grows 4 to 5 feet high 

 with many arching branches, which produce long sprays of exquisite 

 rosy violet colored flowers. The leaves are bright green and velvety 

 white beneath giving a pleasing effect. It is hardy and will increase in 

 beauty year after year. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



Datura Cornucopia. (Horn of Plenty.) 



MYOSOTIS. 



FO R G ET = M E - NOT. 

 DISTINCTION. — A new, ever-bloom- 

 ing strain of high merit. Produces plants 

 5 to 7 inches high and K to 10 inches in 

 diameter, covered with tiowers of the 

 most exquisite azure blue Blooms In 8 

 to 10 weeks from the seed. May be treated 

 as an annual, or may be wintered out of 

 doors. A free and beautiful bloomer. 

 Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 



ROYAL BLUE. — I'nlike Distinction, 

 which is low and spreading, this splendid 

 new F'orget-me-not assumes an upright 

 or pillar-like shape, reaching a height of 

 <> to 12 inches. It belongs to a type sometimes de- 

 scribed as being obelisk shaped, as indicative of 

 its habit of growth. The flowers are of a larger 

 size and a deeper blue color than other varieties, 

 and I consider Poyal Blue Forget-me-not one of 

 the best of lioral novelties. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 25c. 



TECOMA SMITHII. 



A novelty originally from Australia. It belongs to a 

 family of beautiful creeping vines of which Hignonia 

 Radicans. mentioned on page 110, is one. This new species 

 is of dwarf bushy form seldom growing more than 18 inches 

 in height. Its flowers are produced in great numbers, fre- 

 quently more than 100 on a single shoot. The tiowers are 

 usually over 2 inches in length, and rich lemon to dark 

 orange in color. Tecoma Smithii has been greatly commended. 

 It is very easily grown. Seeds started indoors give early blooms, and 

 will continue flowering for a long period. Packet, 15 cents. 



HELPS IN GROWING FLOWERS. 



My friends will he pleased to know that I have had cultural directions 

 printed on all my packets of flower seeds which I will send out in 1901. 

 The directions have been carefully prepared in simple terms and de- 

 scribing up-to-date methods. Any one with these little helps may now 

 have success where heretofore they have probably experienced failure.
