 on large- branched spikes, and will be 

 found invaluable for bouquets. Pkt. 35 

 cts., 3 pkts. for $1. 



(Novelty, '09.) 

 H.H.B. This 

 remarkable plant is unicjue from the fact 

 that it has Ijeen lost to view for a number 

 of years. This is surprising considering 

 the beauty and general worth of this de- 

 lightful plant. Only a slight idea can be 

 gained from the illustration. The extremely 

 brilliant scarlet flowers are borne success- 

 ively in great profusion, and buds and flow- 

 trs are always appearing from the top to 

 the bottom of the flower-spike, reminding 

 one more of four or five spikes of the 

 Lobelia cardinalis being bound together

 added to the brilliant orange-scarlet of the type a series of fine new- 

 colors, including pure yellow, orange, salmon, rose, cerise and ruby 

 red to violet. This variety is somewhat hardier than the parent
