Impatiens Holstii, New Hybrids (Mixed ) 



It is seldom that a novelty comes as cjuickly iiitcj general favor as 

 the splendid East African Balsam, Impaliens Holslii. With its bril- 

 Jiant vermilion-red fiowers, it is indeed an excellent pot-plant, and 

 also extremely useful for the open border, groups in a half-sunnj' 

 position producing a striking effect. It may be remarked that the 

 broad-petaled blooms are i K to iV-, inches in diameter, i. e., larger 

 than ttiose of the Sultani class, besides which they have a much 

 rounder shape and appear to tlie number of six or eight on each 

 twig. The new colors now offered are quite distinct and also very 

 •beautiful. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25 cts , 5 pkts. for $1. 



Impatiens Holstii delicata 



Exceedingly large-flowering new hybrid of Impatiens, obtained 

 by artificial crossing. In shape of flowers, as will be seen in the 

 above illustration, it differs essentially from Impaliens Holstii ; 

 its petals are much broader in all respects and thus form an almost 

 round flower, measuring often more than i % inches across. The 

 color of the blossoms is a very delicate light rosy pink, with a darker 

 doubled center. Magnificent plant for bedding in half-shady situa- 

 tions, and also very free-flowering and attractive as a pot-plant 

 Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1. 



Stock, Early Large-flowering \^ inter 

 Almond Blossom 



'Another fine new color of this splendid class, comprising our 

 former introductions, Beauty of Nice, Queen Alexandra and Crim- 

 son King, is herewith introduced. Here also the central stem and 

 numerous side shoots bear long and very fragrant flowers, white, 

 shaded carmine, calling to mind an almond blossom, a most deli- 

 cate and pleasing hue. From sowings made in summer, the blooms 

 appear in eight or nine weeks, and when sown in February or 

 March, they show in three and one-half to four months, so that the 

 Almond Blossom may also be grown with equal success as a sum- 

 imer or a winter Stock. The blooming period is unusually long ; con- 

 sequently these Stocks are not only of great value for cutting, but also 

 'furnish excellent pot-plants. By watering with a little liquid manure 

 splendid specimens for exhibition may be obtained. Pkt 50 cts., 3 

 pkts. for $1.25.

The flowers of this fine new variety of Campanula Medium pre- 

 sent a brilliant rosy carmine hue, a beautiful and remarkable effec- 

 tive coloring. It will prove a valuable addition to the ever-popular 

 Canterbury Bells, which render such valuable service for cutting, 

 groups and general decoration. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for fi. 



ii^DKligh Novelty Sweet Feas 



Dianthus laciniatus mirabilis fl. pi.

 iiowering strain, attain aheightof from 12 to i.s inches and produce their larjje, beauti- 

 ful double flowers, of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, on stiff, upright stems. The 

 petals of the flowers are very deeply cut or fringed in the most wonderful forms.

English Novelty Orchid-flowered Sweet 

 Peas, 1907 



NORA DNWIN especially takes its place easily in the front rank of whites, far 

 outdistancing Dorothy Erkford, which was hitherto considered the finest white. This 

 variety has the same bold wavy standard as Gladys Unwin. Like all the progeny of 

 Gladys Unwin, it is true to name and does not sport. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1. 



MRS. ALFRED WATKINS is a superb pink of Gladys Unwin type, the same 

 pale pink color as the old Princess Beatrice, which was thought so much of when it 

 came out many years ago; but the flowers of Mrs. Alfred Watkins are so very much 

 'argerand have the beautiful, bold wavy standard of Gladys Unwin. It will be one of 

 the best varieties for cut bloom. Pkt. 35 cis , 3 pkts forfi.
