yellow, orange, scarlet and bright rose-pink. The plants are perfectly hardy, vigorous 

 and stately in growth, producing abundantly during May and June, large and elegantly 

 shaped flowers with long spurs, which, being borne well above the pale glaucous green 

 foliage, have a charming effect, and being so light and elegant are much esteemed for cut- 

 ting. The seed is American-grown — upon one of the large estates — and is specially 

 selected and harvested for me with a view of distributing an article of real merit, of these 

 pretty perennials. Seed sown early will flower the first year. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. for $1.

Calceolaria hybrida, Boddiagton's Perfection vars. 



In the culture of the 

 Cineraria the one mis- 

 take so often made is 

 that of sowing the seed 

 too soon. The plants 

 thus raised more often 

 than not make a rank 

 growth ; this is not in 

 any sense desirable. By 

 sowing in May and June 

 plants large enough for 

 all decorative purposes 

 can be had. In after-treatment the aim should be to secure as hard a 

 a:rowth as possible. Sturdy plants with leaves of medium size are far 

 the best. 



BODDINGTON'S MATCHLESS CINERARIA. A combination 

 of the three most famous English strains, which I can recommend to 

 those wishing to grow the best. Tall, !4pkt. 60 cts., pkt. |i ; Dwarf, 



•/zpkt. 60 cts., pkt. $\. 



CINERARIA STELLATA (Star-flowering Cineraria). Tall-grow- 

 ing ; excellent as a single specimen for table decoration, or for group- 

 ing with splendid effect in corridors and conservatories. Pkt. 50 cts. 



Calceolaria Hybrida, Boddington's Perfection 



Tilt- herbaceous Calceolaria is an easil)' cultivated plant. So long as 

 frost is excluded from the ])lants in winter they are perfectly safe, and to 

 attempt to hasten growth at any time is a failure. July is the best month 

 for sowing the seed. The great advance made in the habit of the strains 

 offered is remarkable, whilst in the colors there is a marked improve- 

 ment. Saved by England's most famous specialist. Monster flowers of 

 rich and varied colors, including spotted, laced, blotched and self-col- 

 ored varieties. Kpkt. 25 cts., pkt. 50 cts.
