Matricaria "Golden Ball/' (Exirnia grandiflora corymbosa aurea fl. pi.) 



This pretty novelty forms a densely compact bush about 13 inches high, profusely covered with a multitude 



of quilled flowers of a very rich and intense golden yellow. 

 Apart from general habit, Matricaria " Golden Ball" is en- 

 tirely distinct from the older varieties, of a more or less yel- 

 lowish tint, and surpasses them by reason of its telling color, 

 which is of the most striking intensity. It will be found 

 equally useful for groups and borders, as well as for cutting 

 purposes. Per pkt., 25 cts. 



Mimulus hybridus "Diadem/' 



This novelty is distinguished for its dwarf and compact 

 habit and stiff stem. The foliage is dark- green, and the 

 flowers, which are most richly colored, are borne in great 

 numbers. It is suitable for borders, groups or potting. Per 

 pkt., 30 cts. 



Nasturtium, 44 Lilliput." 



This is an entirely new class of Dwarf Nasturtiums, and 

 one which deserves the greatest attention. The plant is in 

 every respect smaller than Tom Thumb, and the dainty little 

 flowers, produced in the greatest profusion and peering up 

 well above the small-cut and bushy foliage, make it one of 

 the prettiest annuals imaginable. The blossoms are of vari- 

 ous and showy colors, and it is especially noteworthy that 

 some quite new shades appear among them, such as are not represented in the old class. This feature and the 

 further one that the seed is much smaller than in Tom Thumb Nasturtiums, are the best evidence that we have 

 here an entirely new break in the Tropaeolum family. Separate colors have not yet been fixed, but the mixture 

 will be found highly effective and excellent for groups and borders. Per pkt., 25 cts. 



MATRICARIA " GOLDEN BALL." 



Pansy, 44 Fiery Faces/' 



The Pansy, " Fiery Faces," is of compact growth, and the flowers are of pleasing shape. The color is 

 purple-scarlet, with yellow margin and yellow eye. The three lower petals are regularly marked with large, 

 velvety purple-black spots. In spring and autumn they are particularly brilliant. A bed of the small " Fiery 

 Faces " produces an effect as surprising as it is agreeable, and bestows on this interesting and charming novelty 

 quite a peculiar merit as a show-flower for bed or border. Per pkt., 30 cts.

Rosa multiflora nana* 



This new dwarf Polyantha Rose flowers the first season from seed 

 sown in the open ground. If started early in frames, or in boxes 

 indoors, and transplanted to the outside, like asters, the plants will be 

 in full bloom as early as July, and they will continue flowering in extra- 

 ordinary profusion until late in the fall. The large, double flowers are 

 of perfect form, and are produced in every color exhibited by other 

 Roses. The plants grow only about 15 inches high, 

 forming very neat, compact bushes about 3 feet 

 in circumference. They are suitable for growing 

 in pots or vases, as well as for massing in groups 

 and for borders. The unique value of a Rose which 

 can be grown from seed sown in open ground to 

 bloom the same season will be readily recognized. 

 Per pkt. , 25 cts.
