Single Aster, 

 Southcote 

 Beauty. This 



new race 

 much resembles the Os- 

 trich Plume Aster, which 

 has become so exceeding- 

 ly popular during 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 include beautiful 

 shades of pink, as well as 

 blue and pure white. 

 Soathcote Beauty is of 

 great value as a border 

 plant, attaining a height 

 of 2 to 2 K feet, and is 

 probably unrivaled by 

 any other Aster for cut- 

 ting and house decora- 

 tion. Pkt. 15 cts., 5 pkts. 

 for 60 cts., ^oz. $1. 



Apera arundina- 



cea. 



H.P. The Pheas- 

 ant's Tail, or Sil- 

 ver Fountain Grass from 

 New Zealand. A very 

 beautiful grass and a val- 

 uable border plant; 

 hardv perennial ; height 2 

 feet. ' Pkt. 15 cts. 



Aquilegia caeru- 



Single Aster, Southcote Beauty 



New Giant 

 Snapdragon, 

 "Purple King" 



(Antirrhinum maximum) 



A splendid and sensa- 

 tional novelty. The proud 

 Aii/irr/iitiutn grandijlo- 

 rum, whose size had put 

 into the shade every va- 

 riety previously pro- 

 duced, is superseded im- 

 mensely by this New 

 Giant Snapdragon. With 

 its immense, deep and 

 glowing purple flowers 

 this splendid Snapdragon 

 will doubtless become the 

 pioneer of a new "Giant 

 Class," of very decora- 

 tive value. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 

 pkts. for $1. 



Balsam, Im- 

 proved Camellia- 

 flowered, Prim- 



H.A. It forms 

 strong plants 

 about 2 feet in height, 

 thickly studded with large 

 flowers of a clear yellow , 

 a much superior tint to 

 that already offered as 

 "light yellow." The in- 

 dividual flowers are ex- 

 tra double, compact, of a 

 pleasing rosette-like 

 shape, and measure over 

 2 inches across. Pkt. 25 

 cts., 5 pkts. for $1. 



Begonia gracilis. 



rose. 



lea Candidissima. a charming new Columbine, which 

 1 differs from the existing whitish long- 

 spurred kinds with colored spurs, by the uniform, pure, snowy 

 whiteness of the entire bloom. The latter is just as large and as 

 long spurred as that of the type-form, Caerulea, and is further dis- 

 tinguished by beautiful and 

 characteristic light green 

 foliage. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. 

 for $1. 



Aquilegia, Rose 

 Shades. ^-P- Long- 



— spurred exhi- 

 bition strain; very beauti- 

 ful. Pkt. 35c., 3 pkts. for $1. 



Antirrhinum ma- 

 jus grandiflorum. 



Venus. H.H.P. A deli- 

 — — cate pink tint 

 has hitherto been wanting 

 among the tall, large-flow- 

 ered Snapdragons, and this 

 is just the color most in 

 demand at the present time 

 for cutting and making up. 

 Antirrhinum Venus is 

 admirably adapted to sup- 

 ply this deficiency, present- 

 ing as it does a lovely pink 

 shade on white ground, set 

 off by a pure white throat, 

 which calls to mind the 

 beautiful sweet pea, Para- 

 dise. Large flowers thickly 

 .studded on long stalks. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for Si. 



IVtitfnon H.H.P. A charming bedding Begonia, profusely cov- 



S 1 ered with brilliant blooms of fiery scarlet, the effect of 



which is considerably improved by the prominent yellow anthers. 

 Foliage is spotted and bordered with bronzy red. Height 7 to 8 

 inches. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for Si- 



The Great Cyclamen, Mrs. Buckston 



Great Cyclamen, 

 Mrs. Buckston. 



G.B. It does not often occur 

 that a Cyclamen is honored 

 by the Award of Merit from 

 the Royal Horticultural 

 Societ}-, but the exception 

 in this case well merits the 

 award. Cyclamen Mrs. 

 Buckston is of a real sal- 

 mon-color, a lovely tint 

 somewhat more delicate 

 than found in our "Salmon 

 King," and similar to the 

 famous carnation, " E n- 

 chan tress." The type 

 which has beautifully frilled 

 petals must not be mistaken 

 for the Butterfly Cyclamen, 

 upon which it is a great im- 

 provement. The flowers 

 are immense, larger than 

 anything we have seen be- 

 fore, but, in spite of the 

 size, are most freely pro- 

 duced, and the plants also 

 being excellent growers, we 

 have in this lovely variety 

 the last word in Cyclamen, 

 without which no collection 

 will be complete. Pkt. 75 

 cts., 3 pkts. for $2.
