I nvf»-in-rhf»-MUt Thls sm gular plant is also 

 j-OVe-in-tne-lVllS. known as Lady _ in . th e-Green 



and as Devil-in-a-Bush, because the blooms are part- 

 ly concealed by the abundance of finely cut foliage. 

 The plant and flower are each handsome and require 

 but little care. Hardy annual. Pkt. 5c. 



LuDin Very conspicuous plants with spikes of 

 i_ Pea-shaped blossoms of various colors. 

 Looks well as a background to other lower growing 

 annuals. Hardy annual ; about 3 feet high. Pkt. 5c. 



Mariamlrl No flower garden seems complete 

 lYldiiginu without this fine, old-fashioned flower. 

 Fine foliage and beautiful double flowers. Very 

 effective. Hardy annual. In bloom till frost comes. 

 Double mixed. Pkt. 5c. 



Mignonette (Reseda). A well-known hardy 

 ifiigiiu iiciic annual, producing dense cone- 

 shaped flower-spikes, made up of thickly set flowerets 

 of modest colors. It is often used for cutting to 

 combine in bouquets with other more pretentious 

 flowers lacking its delicate and pleasing fragrance. 

 Hardy annual. 1 foot. Pkt. 5c. 



Mnmrn-flira Gracefully climbing vines with 



momoraitd gmall yellow blossoms, followed by 

 fruits of curious shape. Tender annuals. The vines 

 run 10 feet or more during the season. The seed is 

 very hard and germination will be hastened if a notch 

 is carefully cut through the shell before planting. 



Balsam Pear (Charantia). The fruit is pear-shaped, 

 green, changing to bright red, and has a warty skin ; 

 when ripe it bursts open and shows a brilliant in- 

 terior of large carmine seeds. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25o. 



Balsam Apple (Balsamina). Like Balsam Pear, but 

 foliage smaller; fruit much smaller and nearly round, 

 green striped when young, becoming scarlet. Pkt. 

 5c, oz. 25c. 



Moon Flower (Ipomcea grandiflora alba). 



ivioon r lower 0ne of the most vigorous Sun ^_ 



mer climbers and will grow under favorable condi- 

 tions 30 to 40 feet in a single season and be covered 

 evenings and cloudy days with very large, white, 

 trumpet-shaped flowers widely extended, often 4 

 inches across. Leaves large, 5 inches across. The 

 hard outer coat of the very large, light yellow seed 

 should be cut through with a sharp knife, care being 

 taken not to cut any deeper than the hard shell. 

 Tender annual. Pkt. 10c, oz. 50c. 



Mnrnina Glories Japanese Giant. A class 

 morning oiones of climbers making a 



growth of 20 to 30 feet quite early in the season. 

 Their large flowers are striped, spotted and mar- 

 gined in all shades from white to the deepest red, 

 blue and purple. Many are fluted and fringed. 

 Sow the seeds early in a warm, sunny place. Choice 

 mixed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c. 

 Morning Glory (Convolvulus Major). The well- 

 known, old-fashioned Morning Glories. Splendid 

 climbing plants. Of rapid growth and profuse 

 bloom. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c. 



Nasturtium Few P lants are m ore easily grown 

 or remain longer in bloom 

 than the Tropseolum, with its large shield-shaped 

 leaves and beautifully irregular flowers having long 

 spurs and brilliantly colored petals. Seed is usually 

 sown outdoors as soon as the weather is warm and 

 settled, in the _row_ where the plants are to remain. 

 A sunny situation is essential for free blooming. If 

 the soil is very rich the plants give a large amount of 

 foliage but few flowers. 



Dwarf Varieties (Tropseolum minor). The flowers 

 are very brilliant and attractive. Plants evenly 

 dwarf and are often used for a border. When about 

 2 inches high thin so as to give each plant about 1 

 foot of room. Hardy annual. About 1 foot high. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c. 



Trailing Varieties (Tropseolum Lobbianum). The 

 Lobbianum differs from the common, tall, climbing 

 or running Nasturtium in being a little smaller in 

 leaf, more compact in growth, more floriferous and 

 having richer, more varied colored flowers. When 

 about 2 inches high thin to 6 inches apart. Give 

 some support to the vines as soon as they begin to 

 run and they will usually grow 6 to 8 feet during the 

 season. Fine for covering arbors and trellises. 

 Half hardy annual. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c 



Nasturtium 



PanSieS ^ er y l ar S e flowered. An entirely distinct 

 _______ and beautiful race with flowers of the 



richest and most varied shades of color. Plants of 

 vigorous, compact growth, v% ith immense blotched 

 flowers. Seed many be sown indoors very early in 

 Spring, or a little later in the open ground, and trans- 

 planted when an inch high. Such plants will com- 

 mence to bloom in June. If sown in July the plants 

 will bloom in the Fall, or if sown in September the 

 following Spring. Well pulverized soil should be 

 used and the seeds covered one-eighth inch deep 

 with fine soil firmly pressed down. Coolness and 

 moisture are necessary. A situation sheltered from 

 high winds and exposed to the morning sun is most 

 favorable and frequent sprinklings are advantage- 

 ous. Hardy perennial. 4 to 6 inches high. 



Large Flowering Mixed. Pkt. 5c, oz. $1.50. 



Giant Flowering Mixed. Pkt. 10c, oz. $2.50. 



Petunia (Double Large-Flowered). The strain 

 offered under this heading is the very 

 finest and saved from pot plants. The seed will 

 produce about 30 to 40 per cent, of extremely large, 

 well-formed, densely double flowers, the balance 

 being singles of the large-flowered type. As the 

 double sorts do not produce seed, the single flowers 

 must be pollinated with the pollen of the double ones, 

 which accounts for the small percentage of double 

 flowers. We would advise to select all the weaker 

 seedlings in pricking off, as they invariably produce 

 the finest double flowers. 



Giant Double, Plain- edged. A superb strain, 

 producing a large percentage of double-flowering 

 plants of the finest colors. Pkt. 10c. 



Pnlov Drummonrli Very hardy annuals, un- 



rniOX UrummonOl equaled in the magnifi- 

 cent display of their many and brilliantly colored 

 flowers. They will grow even in poor soil, but in 

 order to develop to their highest perfection must 

 have rich soil and must be given room. Choice 

 mixed. Pkt. 5c. 



Pinks (Dianthus). Double Japan Mixed (Chi- 

 _____ nensis laciniatus) . The flowers are rich in 

 hue; very double, deep fringed petals. Colors vary 

 from white to rose, lilac, carmine, crimson, scarlet, 

 purple, brown and almost black, spotted and striped. 

 Mixed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 65c 



Double China Mixed (Chinensis). White and dark 

 crimson selves, also white tipped, light purple and 

 shades of red with darker blotchings. A mixture of 

 double Pinks unsurpassed in variety of brilliant 

 coloring and marking. Mixed. Pkt. 5c, oz. 50c.
