Testing Seeds. 



Yours truly, 



H. G. FAUST & CO. 



A masrnificent new class -of Carnations that are, without 

 exception, the most abundant bloomers ever introduced. The 

 double flowers are most beautiful, varying through many 

 beautiful shades of reds, white, pinks, variegated, etc.; they 

 are of perfect form and large size, and what is of special value, 

 the calj-x never bursts. Tliey bloom in 4 months from the 

 time of sowing the seed and continue to flower until checked 

 by frost. The plants are of very strong habit, branching di- 

 rectly above the ground ; vigorous stems which are selt-sup- 

 porting. They embrace a "fine range of brilliant colors, are 

 very free flowering, and are certainly a novelty of unusual 

 merit. Pkt., lOcte. 



(Palma Cliristi). 



This is a most striking novelty from East Africa, an 

 entirely new and distinct class, and may, in its general 

 appearance, be compared to a luxuriantly growing giant 

 Aralia Sieboldt. The plants attain great dimensions, 

 presenting a splendid aspect with their gigantic leaves, 

 which range from brilliant coppery bronze to light and 

 dark green ; the ribs, also, are of bright colors, and con- 

 trast nicely with the leaves. They make handsome 

 specimen plants, and will become a general favorite. 

 We have had the seeds engraved natural size, as in the 

 illustration, and in themselves they are a great curiosity, 

 being hishly polished and of the most beautiful colors.
