New Anemone-Flowered Paris Daisy. 



The flowers are from 2i to 3 inches in diameter, pure white, the greater per- 

 centage coming full double, not unlike an Anemone-flowered Japanese Chrysan- 

 themum, but even the semi-double and single flowers, which appear on the same 

 plant, are very handsome. This is a great improvement on the single " Paris 

 Daisy," and should be in every collection. Price, $1.00 per doz. ,^$8.00 per 100. 



New Double Blue Lobelia. 



Kathleen Mallard. This beautiful and distinct Lobelia is a variety^of L. speciosa 

 which originated from a chance seedling. The color is the most beautiful and 

 intense blue; the flowers reach 3 inch in diameter and literally cover the plant. 

 As a bedding plant it has proven most satisfactory. During the long dry^spell 

 this summer it was always in good condition, veritable mounds^of intensely dark 

 blue. (See cut.) Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $2.50 per doz.
