Chrysanthemum, Single Early. 



(Novelty '09.) H. H. P. 

 We are able to offer, for 

 the first time, seed of the New Early Flowering Single Chrysanthe- 

 mums. The Early Singles have quickly gained in popularity, they 

 are to be seen in all parts of England and will certainly become pop- 

 ular here. One of the most interesting features in gardening is rais- 

 ing new seedlings, and, with these singles, the bulk will turn out to 

 be the most pleasing colors, good habits, no two alike, and everyone 

 fit for a place in the garden. The seed is procured by us from Wells, 

 the great Chrysanthemum specialist, of England. Splendid mixture, 

 pkts. 25 cts. and 50 cts. 



Directions. — Sow end of February, or early in March, in pots or 

 boxes, in a frame or greenhouse, prick off when ready, and treat ex- 

 actly the same as Ten Weeks Stocks or Asters, planting them in the 

 open the first week in May. 



(Novelty '09. ) H. A. Rare 

 and extremely showy an- 

 nual from Namaqualand, South Africa, which will soon become a 

 great favorite in all countries on account of its easy culture and beau- 

 tifully colored flowers. The plants, of verj' branchy habit, grow 

 about 12 to 15 inches high and are exceedingly profuse in flowering. 

 Its Marguerite-like blossoms, 2 'A to 2X inches in diameter, show a 

 unique glossy, rich orange-gold, which brilliant coloring is rendered 

 the more conspicuous by the dark colored disc surrounded b}- a 

 black zone. This splendid annual is well adapted for groups or 

 borders, it produces its pretty flowers very early after being planted 

 out in the open ground in sunny situations and will continue to 

 flower during the summer months. A bed in full bloom is a magni- 

 ficent sight (see illustration). Pkt. 25 cts., 5 for $1.

Eschscholtzia erecta compacta, Dainty Queen. 



(Novelty '08.) H.A. We had the greatest pleasure in being able to 

 introduce this exquisite new color in Eschscholtzias, It is so delicate 

 and striking that we are certain it will excite universal admiration, 

 especially with the ladies, and become one of the greatest favorites, 

 of this charming race of our new improved compact Californian' 

 poppies. It is almost impossible to describe its soft and delicate 

 shades of color. The color is a tender blush or pale coral-pink, 

 slightly deeper toward the edges, with a ground work of delicate 

 cream. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkts. for 25 cts.

 purest snow-white, are very freely produced on large-branched spikes,

^ flowers appear mostly 



in blue and lilac, but rose and red shades are also found among them.

 comparably beautiful foliage ; the very large velvety leaves are rich 

 dark green, traversed with silvery veins on the upper surface, and 

 purple-red underneath. Handsome ornamental foliage plants, which
