BODDINGTON'S SELECT HYBRIDS 



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

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

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

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

 Pkl. 75 cts., 3 for $2. 



W. H. WAITE IN "HORTICULTURE" 



The S liizantliu s f^randiflorus Boddingtotiii , when well grown, is one of the most desirable animals for j;reenlioiise culture. .■\s a con- 

 servatory plant it is uiieciualed, lastiiij; in bloom for months; as a cut flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of tlie daintiest 

 things that can be used. The past season we have used it freijuently, and it never failed to bring: forth admiration. It is of very easy 

 culture, but will not stand coddlini; ni any shape or forn). The youna; plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-bound, 

 but should always be k< pt on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in. 



The finest varietv that I have had the privilege of growing jet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single 

 spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and. the introducer, 

 .Arthur T. Boddington, 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.
