BODDINGTON'S SELECT HYBRIDS 



This strain is superior to any of the Schizanthus in cultiv ation ; the flowers are much larger, better shaped, and the colors 

 show a wide range, inchuling shades of yellow, apricot, pink, salmon, carmine, crimsou, mauve and purple, in various markings 

 and combinations. In habit, the plants are very dwarf antl bushy, and the flowers invaluable for cutting. .Schizanthus plants have 

 become indisprnsable for greenhouse and conservatory fiecoration, and as a pot - plant for decoration they are unequaled. 

 Pkt. 75 cts., 3 for $2. 



W. H. WAITE IN "HORTICULTURE" 



TIr- Schizanlliiis jfi aiu/i/lorus liodditiffloiiii, wlit n well j;rowii, is one of the most iiesiral)le annuals for greenlion.se culture. As a con- 

 servatory plant it is unecinaied, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest 

 thin>(s that can be used. The p:ist season we have used it fre(|uently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of very easy culture, 

 but will not stand coddling in any shajx' or form. Tlu young plants should never be allowed to become stuuttd.or pot-bound, but 

 should always be kcjit on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in. 



The finest variety that 1 have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on your frontispiece. This shows merely a single 

 spray and was t.iken to show the individual flowers, ancl not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and the iiitroducer, 

 Arthur T Hoddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all that 

 can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.
