 of named sorts. Sow in March in shal- 

 low pots and transplant when larg<!

CAPE FUCHSIA, PHYGELIUS CAPENSIS. 



During our past dry summer this was never out of bloom, 

 while geraniums alongside of it were perishing. When barely 

 a few inches high, bears from 10 to 20 bold, long spikes, cr m"- 

 pletely crowded with showy, scarlet drooping flowers, persist- 

 ently produced from May until winter, and even then in the 

 house. This is a good plant for bedding and for winter bloom- 

 ing. Pkt, 50 seeds, 6o.

MARVEL OF PERU. Variegated Leaved. 



(Four O'clock.) 



This new variety makes a very ornamental plant when planted 

 alone or in rows. The leaves *and flowers are verj- beautifully 

 variegated— white, creamy white and green. Many plants cost- 

 ing large sums of money do not compare in beauty and variety 

 Avith this plant. 



Pkt., 40 seeds, 6c.: oz., 20c. 



MARVEL OF PERU, MIXED, 

 4c.; oz., 15c. 



all colors. Pkt., -10 seeds, 



SWEET SCENTED FOUR O'CLOCK (Longiflora) — 



Long tubular sweet scented flowers. White and purple. 

 Pkt, 10 seeds, 5c.; oz., 15c. 



M U LT I FLORA— Very distinct Four O'clock. Produces clus- 

 ters or bouquets of 9 to 12 large -^-iolet flowers. Perfectly hardy. 

 Pkt, 30 seeds, 6c. 



MARVEL OF PERU (Mirabilis)— The improved Four 

 O'clock is one of our most desirable plants. It grows in any soil 

 and under any treatment. Planted like peas, they soon make a 

 row of plants smothered with flowers, which have the strange 

 habit of remaining closed until exactly 4 o'clock, when they 

 burst out in their glory. For planting where other flowers will 

 not grow, and ease of* cultivation, nothing equals them. The 

 "oots are hardy and perennial, groA\'ing from year to year. They 

 :an also be -ndhtered in the cellar. 



This is not only curious, but one of the ^ery best trail- 

 ing plants we have for house, basket, vase, or window. 

 Foliage small and thick. Flowers curious in shape; 

 color red, wh h blue anthers. Mixed Avith the blroms 

 in great quantities, appear bright red berries a little 

 larger than cherries. Avhich sray on for nearly six 

 mouths. Pkt, 15 seeds, lOc.
