Datura, 44 Golden Queen/' (New.) 



This superb new variety has all the fine qualities of the popular D. cornucopia, but, on account of its 

 brilliant yellow Mowers, it 

 is a much more showy and 

 effective plant. From seed 

 sown in the open ground it 

 grows in a single season to 

 a height of 2V2. feet, forming 

 a stocky, very bushy and 

 compact plant, requiring no 

 support. The flowers are 

 of gigantic size, many of 

 them 10 inches long, very 

 double, and produced in 

 great numbers. It makes 

 a magnificent pot-plant, 

 and is admirably adapted 

 for massing and back- 

 grounds, the large bright 

 flowers contrasting strik- 

 ingly with the dark green 

 foliage. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Dianthus laciniatus, 

 "Salmon Queen/' 



A new annual Pink of 

 the popular Heddewigii 

 class. The flowers are of a 

 very distinct and perfectly 

 new tint in this class, being 

 of the most brilliant salmon 

 color, changing to salmony 



rose when fading. The flowers are well formed and beautifully fringed. Seventy-five per cent, of the plants 

 will come true from seed. Per packet, 25 cts. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM MAXIMUM, " PERFECTION." See page 4 



Dianthus superbus Telekii. 



This new variety of Pink is the result of a cross between Dianthus superbus and Dianthus Chinensis. 



The plant possesses the excellence of both parents without the 

 faults of either. It is an abundant bloomer. The flowers are 

 mostly faultless double, and in color from purple to dark carmine 

 and violet. The plants are very hardy and of strong growth, 

 Per packet, 30 cts. 



Godetia Whitneyi, "Mandarin." 



The flowers of this new Godetia are of a delicate yellow color, 

 a most valuable 

 addition to the 

 assortment o f 

 colors found in 

 this popular an- 

 nual. The form 

 of the flower, 

 too, differs from 

 the usual, each 

 petal being 

 slightly wrin- 

 / kled at the up- 

 per edge. A 

 whole bed or 

 border of this 

 new Godetia in 

 contrast with 



the other dark red sorts, is very effective, and it will undoubt- 

 edly soon become a popular favorite. Per packet, 25 cts. 



Grevillea robusta. (Silk oak.) 



A tender perennial, growing about 5 feet high, with very 

 beautiful and graceful foliage. It is one of our most elegant 

 ornamental plants for the greenhouse and for table decorations, 

 combining the delicate foliage of a fern with the stately grace 

 of a palm. Per packet, 10 cts. 



Marigold, "Pride of the Garden." 



A new, very dwarf variety of regular, compact habit and 

 very floriferous. The flowers are extra large, extremely double, 

 of a beautiful rich, golden yellow color, and produced earlier 

 than those of any other sort. Will be desirable for showing a 

 solid golden yellow effect. Per packet, 10 cts.
