XXIX. Novelties for the season 1906 to 1907. 



The price for 100 packets will be applied for orders of at least 25 packets. 



We beg to inform our patrons that in order to spare unnecessary labour, orders for' seeds in packets will not be filled 

 in as many single packets, but the corresponding weight or number will be sent in one lot. 



New Vegetable Seeds. 



Tomato „ltalia". 



A first class new sort and the earliest of all hitherto known. 



The fruit is large, oval-round, smooth, very fleshy and of 

 the finest flavour; it keeps fresh a long time, and stands there- 

 fore shipping very well. The plant is enormously productive, 



Aster inultiflora rosea. 

 Electro 4/6. 



more than any other large-fruited sort, and if treated well, 

 one single plant will easily yield from 30 to 50 well shaped 

 and large fruits. Also for pot and green house culture, ,, Italia" 

 is exactly what one could desire, it does not grow high, but 

 freely, is not subject to diseases and produces almost 1/3 of 

 its fruits at the same time. 



We can confidently recommend this new sort.

0 Aster multiflora rosea (Electro). 



This is a new and quite distinct sort, highly useful for 

 all purposes. The plant grows semi-high and is of a symetrical 

 and pyramidal habit, producing its flowers in such a profusion 

 as is usual only with the perennial Asters; they measure about 

 l x / 2 in. in diameter and are nicely double. A cut plant put 

 in a flower vase forms a most graceful and lovely natural 

 bouquet. For pots and for bedding the plant is also equally 

 invaluable.

Coreopsis grandiflora compacta. 

 Electro 3/—. 



4 Coreopsis grandiflora compacta (Electro). 



The well known C. grandiflora does not require any more 

 recommendation although the growth of the plant is rather 

 irregular. 



On the other hand our new kind is a first class plant 

 forming a regular compact bush with straight stems, bearing 

 large yellow fine flowers. Each stem emerges from the root 

 for itself and never branches.
