PURPLE FEATHER GRASS. 



This is undoubtedly one of the most ornamental deco- 

 rative >:rasses ever introduced, and will be found an useful 

 for room, hall or table decoration as many a palm, while 

 having the advantage of rapid and vigorous growth and 

 being much easier to manage. Its graceful, narrow, re- 

 curving leaves, produced by the hundreds in succession, 

 are overtopped by most elegant purple feathery plumes a 

 foot long, which by themselves are quite ornamental as 

 vase decorations, and can also be used for dry grass bou- 

 qu*^ts. Sown as late as March, it makes a bold plant, 

 unlike any other in the garden, always a feature of attrac- 

 tion. If grown in pots, no one could wish for anything 

 more graceful. This novelty has been great' v admired 

 wherever shown. Seed, per pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts.

VAUTIER'S MAMMOTH PANSIES 



This strain of enormous Pansies has been raised 

 and perfected for over 20 years by Chas. H . Vautier , 

 one of our most experienced market gardeners. It 

 would be almost impossible to expre^^s in words 

 what ought to be said in favor of this strain. In 

 size and perfect form they rival anything heretofore 

 introduced. The flowers measure 2J to 4 inches 

 across, of most perfect form, circular shape ; the 

 plants being bushy and compact, and flowering pro- 

 fusely. The colors are rich and varied, embracing 

 all the fancy spotted and striped, and self colors. 

 Our leading Philadelphia florists obtain their plants 

 from this strain, paying the highest price. Our 

 seed is all saved from the choicest plants, and we 

 recommend the strain to all lovers of magnificent 

 large Pansies. Choice mixed, per pkt., 25 cts. ; 

 5 pkts., $1.00 ; J oz., |L50 ; oz., $6.00.
