BODDINGTON'S ~^A4di£l^ SEEDS 



Single Aster, 

 Southcote 

 Beauty, ha. This 



— new race 



much resembles the Ost- 

 rich Plume Aster, which 

 has become so exceeding- 

 ly popular diiring the last 

 few years. It has all the 

 beauty of habit and flower 

 which the latter possesses, 

 and is a distinct acquisi- 

 tion. The flowers have 

 long, perfectly formed 

 petals and very small 

 golden-yellow centers, as 

 is shown in the accom- 

 panying illustration. They 

 are carried on long, stiff 

 stems from 12 to 20 inches 

 in length. The colors in- 

 clude beautiful shades of 

 pink, as well as blue and 

 pure white. Southcote 

 Beauty is of great value as 

 a border plant, attaining a 

 height of 2 to 2 feet, and 

 is probably unrivaled by 

 any other Aster for cutting 

 and house decoration. In 

 future years, we hope to 

 save distinct colors, but at 

 present we can only offer 

 mixed seed containing the 

 shades mentidned above.

new type now first intro- 

 duced. This distinct nov- 

 elty originated from one 

 plant which attracted 

 marked attention from 

 the fact that the flowers, 

 while equally as large in 

 diameter, showed a new departure in form, number and 

 shape of the petals. The petals were narrow and 

 fluted, separated in star-like form and of the most bril- 

 liant crimson color overlaid with a velvet sheen. Of 

 this plant, one blossom bearing twenty-two petals was 

 marked for seed, and the selections from 

 the products of this single flower have 

 been continued each year since, until now 

 this many-petaled type has become 

 thoroughly fixed. The plants grow 4 to 5 

 feet in height, are most profuse in bloom, 

 and the flowers are so striking and ele- 

 gant that it will be acknowledged "one 

 of the most artistic plants" of re- 

 cent introduction. Pkt. 20 cts., 3 

 pkts. for 50 cts.

often that a Cyclamen is honored by 

 the Award of Merit from the Royal 

 Horticultural Society, but the exception 

 in this case well merits the award. Cy- 

 clamen Mrs. Buckston is of a real sal- 

 mon shade of color, a lovely tint some- 

 what more delicate than found in our 

 "Salmon King," and similar to the 

 famous carnation, "Enchantress." 

 The type which has beautifully frilled 

 petals must not be mistaken for the 

 Butterfly Cyclamen, to which it is a 

 great improvement. The flowers are 

 immense, larger than anything we have 

 seen before, but, in spite of the size, are 

 most freely produced, and the plant also 

 being excellent growers, we have in this 

 lovely variety the last word in Cycla- 

 men, without which no collection will be 

 complete. Pkt. 75 cts., 3 for $2.
