Salvia Ball of Kike. 



Two Brilliant 

 SCARLET SAGES. 



All of the varieties of Salvia Splen- 

 dens, or Scarlet Sage, are worth grow- 

 ing, and are acknowledged to be the 

 most brilliant bedding plants we have. 



The two varieties here offered are ex- 

 ceptionally valuable, owing to their 

 dwarf compact growth, and their free, 

 early and continuous flowering. 



3934 Ball Of Fire. May be briefly de- 

 scribed as a compact form of the 

 popular sort " Bonfire." The 

 plant itself rarely grows over a 

 foot high, while the erect spikes 

 of brilliant scarlet flowers average 

 a foot in length, making the total 

 height of the plant when in full 

 bloom 24 inches by about the 

 same in diameter. 20 cts. per pkt. ; 75 cts 

 Zurich. This is the earliest-flowering 

 to bloom in June, continuing without 



New Stokesias or Cornflower Asters. 



4060 The blue Stokesia Cyanea, although a native of the United States, 

 was practically unknown as a garden plant until the year 1903, when 

 we illustrated it in colors on the cover of our Garden Book; and, as 

 a result of our efforts, it is now one of the popular hardy perennials. 

 Si ime three years ago, a white-flowered variety was discovered, and 

 now we are able to offer a mixture containing a number of rose 

 shades, and various shades of blue as well. These should prove highly 

 interesting, and we look forward to the time when this plant will be 

 found in all gardens in a great variety of colors. 25 cts. per 

 packet; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



STOKESIA CYANEA ALBA. 



4052 We offered this new white variety last year for the first time. We 

 expect that it will soon become as great a favorite as the blue-flow- 

 ered type. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



"NEWPORT PINK" SWEET WILLIAM. 



42S2 A distinct new color in this favorite hardy plant, which originated in 

 one of the far-famed gardens at Newport, R. I. In color it is what 

 florists call watermelon-pink or salmony-rose. Strikingly brilliant 

 and beautiful; the habit of the plant is perfect, being well-formed, 

 neat and compact, the flowers borne in massive heads on stems 18 

 inches high. For mid-season mass bedding it has no equal. It is 

 also very effective as a pot plant and for cutting. Perfectly hardy in 

 any part of the country. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



DOUBLE ROSE, 



SWEET WILLIAM. 



4295 A beautiful new double-flower- 

 ing sort, bearing large umbels of 

 handsome rose-colored flowers. 

 As in all Double Sweet Williams, 

 about one-half of the seedlings 

 produce single flowers. 20 cts. 

 per pkt. ; 3 pkts., 50 cts. 



ZINNIA 



RED-RIDING HOOD 



4485 This is a little gem, growing 

 about a foot high, of compact 

 form and covered the entire sea- 

 son with small, button-like, very 

 double flowers of an intense scar- 

 let color. As a border to tall- 

 flowering plants it is very effec- 

 tive. 10 cts. per pkt.; 25 cts. 

 per ] oz.

variety of all, beginning 

 interruption until frost.

 beds or borders. 20 cts. per pkt. ; :i pkts., 50 cts. 



SCABIOSA JAPONICA.

 feet in height by the same through, and bearing on long, win -tems 

 beautiful artistic lavender-blue flowers 2 to 2J inches across. The 

 plants are extreme!) floriferous, producing a continuous crop from 

 the end of June until late in autumn. A fine cut flower. 1 "> cts. 

 per pkt. ; 2 pkts., 25 ( ts. 



MYRTLE-LEAVED SMILAX. 



3982 \ new and distinct form, which is much more graceful than the well- 

 known ordinary Smilax. The foliage is smaller and narrower, the ten- 

 drils less stiff, making it the most airy and graceful green for decoral 

 ing. 25 cts. per pkt. of 25 seeds.

 • id flowered type, but the older well tried kinds a\ this splendid im
