HELIOTROPE. Briar Crest Earfte Flowering Hy- 

 brids. — for years I base been developing on my Briar Uresl trial 

 grounds, under most painstaking and careful methods, a number of 

 choice hybrid heliotropes. Year by year these hybrids have been 

 improved in quality by culture and selection, and 1 am now ready i<> 

 share them with the public. The flower trusses and flowers them- 

 selves are very large, full and handsome; equal, if not Superior, to 

 anything else on the market. Several shades of lavender and light 

 blue are included; all are deliciously fragrant. Pkt., 20c.; 8 pkts., 50c. 



VERBENA. Briar Crest Mammoth Taney Mixed.— 



I hia is u noble strain, the result of years cl careful selection at h riar 

 Crest. It is, perhaps, better adapted to culture in the East than any 

 other stock on the market, while it flourishes just as well in the 

 West. The individual florets are invariably as large as 25-eent pieces, 

 making showy heads. Some flowers are of solid color, some striped, 

 some mottled, some zoned and some eyed. It is the largest and most 

 effective type of verbena to be had. Packet, 10 cts; 3 packets, 25 cts. 



CARNATION 

 Although I class this carnation as an annual, alon 



be carried through the winter in the open ground. It resembles the Marguerite Carnation in exquisite beauty and in early blooming 

 habit, and the so-called perpetual carnations in size and character of flower. It blooms about five months after the sowing of the seed 

 It will, I am sure, find enthusiastic admirers everywhere among people who love the carnation. Packet, '20 cents; 3 pac kets, 50 cents. 



One packet of each of the above 5 Magnificent Floral (Novelties, postpaid, only 35 cents.

 these showy annuals, embracing, all colors. The strong plants attain 

 a height of two feet, and the bloom is both profuse and showy. The 

 colors include white, scarlet with golden and white, fine deep scarlet, 

 carmine with white throat, yellow, yellow and orange, yellow striped

 in full bloom. They are among our best cut flowers and are altogether 

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



IMPERIAL SWEET SUETANS. A Grand New Strain. 



— This new and improved variety of Centaurea is a splendid new type 

 of a famous flower, and I am greaty pleased with it. The fragrant 

 blooms are two or three inches in diameter, and present an exceed- 

 ingly soft, attractive appearance. The marginal petals (marginal

PETUNIA. Selected Ruffled Giants. 



This is the handsomest petunia in the world, not only on account of 

 its great size, but because of its rich colors and markings and its fringed 

 or notched petals. It is perfection itself. The great blooms are exquis^, 

 itely ruffled on the edges. Some flowers are five inches across. Thw 

 tints are rich and varied, embracing purple, yellow, rose, velvety crin 

 son, etc., and the markings are as varied as they are beautiful, indue, 

 ing much curious veining and penciling. Some flowers are blotched In 

 grotesque ways, usually with dark throats, giving an appearance of 

 great depth and substance. The seed, I regret to say, will always be 

 scarce. The culture is easy. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets, 50 cents. 



PETUNIA. Double Extra Large Flowering. 

 Maule's Superb Strain. 



Without doubt, this is the finest double petunia ever ottered to the 

 public It has been bred with such skill, and is so well taken care of, 

 that it seems to improve from year to year — if improvement be possi- 

 ble in a type so nearly perfect. In color, shape, markings and texture 

 it is all that can be desired. The numerous petals are more or less 

 folded, fringed and shaded, and the result is a flower of unexcelled 

 quality and beauty. The plant is strong, stocky and vigorous, and the 

 foliage pleasing. Packet, 20 cents; 3 packets. 50 cents.
